What are the various payment schemes available to solar consumers to sell back excess solar generated electricity?

If the consumer owns a solar PV system and wishes to sell any excess solar electricity to the grid, depending on their contestability status, they may either:

  • Register with SP Services (SPS) under the Simplified Credit Treatment (SCT) or Enhanced Central Intermediary Scheme (ECIS) by requesting the LEW to submit the relevant applications to SP Services
  • Directly register with the Energy Market Company as a Market Participant, or
  • Appoint another Market Participant (not applicable to residential consumers)

Consumers with embedded solar photovoltaic generation can opt for an estimated solar generation output instead of installing the relevant metering arrangement (‘M1 Meters’) at each generation point. The Solar Generation Profile is approved by the Energy Market Authority and is based on factors such as Singapore’s historical average solar irradiance from 7am to 7pm. 

For more information you can refer to the approved solar generation profile at the EMA website. Please note that the profile does not apply to building owners who choose to have a solar leasing agreement with an appointed solar vendor.
