Installed Capacity of Grid-Connected Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Systems by User Type

Data from Jan 2008 to Mar 2021

Last updated: 06 Jun 2024, 14:36 SGT

EMA (Energy Market Authority)

Note: a. Data for 2021 is as at 1Q 2021. Historical values have been revised with the incorporation of new information on de-commissioned installations and reclassification of installations. b. Figures may not add up to the totals due to rounding. c. MWp refers to megawatt peak, which is a typical measure of the installed nameplate capacity for solar PV systems. MWp represents the amount of electric power that can be produced by a solar PV system at its peak under Standard Test Conditions (STC). d. MWac refers to the Alternating Current (ac) capacity of the inverters used in solar PV installations.
