6 FAQs about [Timor-Leste solar energy cluster]

Is there a market for roof-top solar energy systems in Timor-Leste?

Australia's Market Development Facility (MDF) and ITP Renewables conducted an assessment of the potential market for roof-top solar energy systems in Timor-Leste.

What is the photovoltaic units implementation project in Timor-Leste?

How long does a solar system last in Timor-Leste?

High electricity costs and readily available solar radiation mean that the average payback period for a rooftop photovoltaic (PV) solar energy system in Timor-Leste is only 1.5 to 3 years instead of the global average of 6-10 years. Transitioning to solar can also help the country meet environmental commitments.

Is Timor-Leste a good country for solar energy?

Timor-Leste has a high-quality solar resource. The global horizontal irradiance in Dili is higher than on the east coast of Australia, where the solar market is mature and installation costs are higher. The cost of electricity in Timor-Leste for commercial and industrial consumers is high compared to ASEAN countries.

What does a solar technician do in Timor-Leste?

Technicians in Timor-Leste have experience in small-scale, off-grid solar energy systems. Commercial or industrial scale installations are more complex and appropriate technical capacity is scarce.

Is a solar-powered Grid a good idea in Timor-Leste?

With the new UN reforms, the United Nations in Timor-Leste, under the leadership of the Resident Coordinator has now started lighting the way with its solar-powered grid which has begun to give maximum dividends. A powerful 300 kWp photovoltaic system is producing 400,000 kWh of clean electricity annually, filling critical gaps in energy supply.
