Renewable Solar Power as Alternative Resource in Singapore

Everyone knows that sun provides energy to humans, animals, plants and every other creature on earth. Scientists and engineers are continuously working to convert solar energy into useful heat or electricity. Mainly there are two types of solar energy systems photovoltaic and thermal systems. There is a great opportunity of using renewable solar power in Singapore.

Solar photovoltaic:

Photovoltaic systems convert solar radiations into electricity and the most common is by use of silicon panels, which generates electrical current when sun rays fall on it. These solar panels are of great value for remote rural area where it’s expensive to supply electricity or where other sources of generating electricity are very expensive.

Solar thermal systems:

Solar Thermal Systems store heat from sun which can is used for different purposes which including active systems like solar hot water heaters and passive systems where engineering designs automatically stores and utilizes solar energy like in winter utilize it for keeping house warm in night.

In case of Singapore Sun Electric is first electricity retail license Holder Company in Singapore. The Energy Market Authority (EMA) has now making efforts to facilitate more independent electricity retailers to generate more renewable solar power in Singapore. In the beginning of last year the Singapore government had introduced solar power in there retail electric grid.
