SolarNova

Public-Private Solar on Public Housing at Scale (Singapore)

Singapore

Highlight

Aggregates thousands of public rooftops into large solar tenders, with the private sector financing and operating.

Extended description

SolarNova is a Singapore public-private programme that drives solar panels onto the rooftops of public housing (HDB) and government buildings. Private firms finance, install and maintain the systems, while the administration pays for the energy produced. By aggregating many buildings into large tenders, it achieves economies of scale and rapid deployment in a dense, land-scarce city-state, showing how coordinated procurement can scale rooftop solar without public capital outlay.
