What is NTU Singapore spin-off etavolt?

Title : NTU Singapore spin-off EtaVolt develops new technology that rejuvenates solar panels and protects them from degradation

What is solar technology & how is it used in Singapore?

The technology has been successfully implemented in projects with major partners in the solar industry. It has been field-proven on various solar panel installations across Singapore, including those installed on rooftops of buildings.

Should Singapore invest in tandem solar cells?

For tandem solar cells, the obvious choice is perovskites-on-silicon, where Singapore can take advantage of the fact that it has invested in the past in two major R&D centres, one on perovskites (ERI@N, NTU) and one on crystalline silicon solar cells (SERIS, NUS).

Why should you invest in Singapore's solar technology?

As one of the leading solar laboratories in the world, SERIS had provided novel solar solutions unique to Singapore’s urban environment, such as floating solar PV on our reservoirs and building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV).

Why is Singapore a good place to install solar panels?

Singapore is benefitting from the global reduction in module prices. Also, the growing domestic market leads to increasing experience of the local installation workforce and eventually lower cost of deployment. Section 5.4.1 provides an update of the current and projected LCOE for solar electricity in Singapore.

How will Singapore's solar adoption impact the future?

While this does not impact solar adoption directly, it does marginally increase the cost of electricity generation for natural gas and other thermal plants in Singapore. This, in turn, might make solar energy more competitive in the future.
