Going Green
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
Through the training, the young specialists in Timor-Leste gain an understanding of harnessing and converting solar radiation into usable energy using solar photovoltaic (PV) technology.
Explore East Timor solar panel manufacturing landscape through detailed market analysis, production statistics, and industry insights. Comprehensive data on capacity, costs, and growth.
As almost the whole territory of Timor-Leste has the potential to successfully generate solar energy, the Government is keen to tap into this potential to setup utility scale
What is the Timor-Leste solar power project?The Project involves the construction and 25-year operation of a new power plant in Manatuto, Timor-Leste, comprising a 72 MW solar power
DLA Piper advised Eletricidade de Timor-Leste on a PPA to develop Timor-Leste''s first solar PV power plant and battery energy storage system.
newable resource potential Solar PV: Solar resource potential has been divided into seven classes, each representing a range of annual PV output per uni. of capacity (kWh/kWp/yr).
Explore East Timor solar panel manufacturing landscape through detailed market analysis, production statistics, and industry insights.
Nowadays, in all the districts, with the exception of Díli, there are sucos with solar panels, where two thousand, one hundred and forty three families are covered in the whole territory.

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.
1 Energy security is “uninterrupted availability of energy sources at an affordable price”; International Energy Agency. The average payback period for a rooftop PV solar energy system in Timor-Leste is 2.5 years. This is much lower than the global average of 6 to 10 years, due to solar resource and electricity costs:
In addition, most of Timor-Leste's electricity is generated through costly and polluting diesel generators. 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.
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.
