Assessing Your Home’s Suitability for the Installation of Solar Panels
Roof Orientation and Sunlight Exposure – Maximising Energy Production
The position of your roof plays a major role in solar efficiency. Our assessment considers the angle, pitch, and direction to ensure optimal sunlight capture throughout the day. We also evaluate shading from nearby structures or trees to guarantee your solar power installation delivers the highest possible energy yield.
Roof Type and Structure – Tile Roofs, Metal Roofs, and Flat Roofs
Different roof materials require different installation methods. Whether you have a tile, metal, or flat roof, we ensure the mounting system complements your structure. Our expertise in roofing ensures a secure installation that does not compromise weatherproofing, structural integrity, or aesthetics, keeping your solar panels for your home safe and effective for years to come.
Space Requirements for the Installation of Solar Panel Systems
An efficient solar energy system needs adequate space to generate meaningful energy savings. Installing solar panels in your roof has to be calculated to determine how much spa it can accommodate without restricting access for maintenance. Our layouts prioritise panel efficiency, safety clearances, and future expansion possibilities to ensure you get the best results from your installation.
Compliance with Local Building Regulations and Permits in Singapore
The installation of solar panels in Singapore must comply with SP’s requirements and electrical safety standards. We guide you through necessary approvals, coordinate with relevant authorities, and ensure all work meets regulatory guidelines. This guarantees your solar power setup is safe, approved, and ready for long-term performance without legal or compliance issues.
On-Roof System
On-Roof Solar Panel System – Tile Roof
Our on-roof solar panel installation for tile roofs features specially fabricated brackets. These brackets are securely fitted between the structures of the roof tiles to support the solar panels, ensuring stability without compromising the integrity of your roof. This system not only meets but exceeds the expectations of every homeowner looking to optimize their roof’s functionality.
On-Roof Solar Panel System – Metal Roof
For homes with metal roofing—a common choice in Singapore—our on-roof system is ideal. It employs specially designed clips that attach securely to the ribs of the metal roof. This method avoids any penetration of the roofing material, eliminating the risk of water seepage. By converting your roof into a solar power station, you not only meet your household’s electrical needs but also have the potential to generate additional income by selling excess power back to the grid.
In-Roof System

Embrace the aesthetic and cost-effective GSE in-roof solar panel system, a popular choice across Europe with over 4 million square meters installed. This innovative solution allows homeowners to replace old, leaking roof tiles with high-efficiency solar panels that blend seamlessly into the roofline. Like our on-roof system, the GSE solar roof installation powers your home’s electrical needs and offers the opportunity to sell surplus energy back to the grid, turning your roofing upgrade into an investment.
