Solar potential in Singapore
Singapore receives 4.592 kWh/m² per day on a horizontal surface, averaged over 30 years. Tilting panels to 0° raises annual output by 0%.
A typical home system is 5–10 kW. Roughly 15 panels for 6 kW.

Singapore sun and solar questions
- How much does daylight change through the year in Singapore?
- Singapore sits at 1.4° north. Its longest day runs 12h 12m and its shortest 12h 03m — a swing of 9m.
- What angle should solar panels be in Singapore?
- 0° from horizontal, facing south, maximises annual production. That is about 0% more than laying panels flat. If you want to favour winter output, 21° is better; for summer, 0°.
- How much power would solar panels produce in Singapore?
- About 1,308 kWh per year for every kW installed, at the optimal angle. A typical 6 kW home system would produce roughly 7,849 kWh a year. Feb is the strongest month and Dec the weakest.
- How high does the sun get in Singapore?
- At the summer solstice the sun reaches 67.9° above the horizon at solar noon. At the winter solstice it only reaches 65.2°. That difference is what drives both the seasons and the ideal panel angle.
Sun times assume a flat horizon at sea level. Solar figures are long-term climate averages and do not account for shading, roof pitch or local regulations. See the methodology.
