Global Photovoltaic Power Potential by Country. Specifically for Timor Leste, country factsheet has been elaborated, including the information on solar resource and PV power potential country statistics, seasonal electricity generation variations, LCOE estimates and cross-correlation with the relevant socio-economic indicators.
The new solar energy project, titled "Solar for All," is a key component of UNDP''s broader efforts to promote renewable energy in Timor-Leste. The initiative will focus on installing solar power systems in remote villages, providing clean and reliable electricity to households, schools, and health centers.. This project aligns with Timor-Leste''s national
East Timor solar project, Timor Leste. In cooperation with our local partner, GSOL Energy technicians have installed a 300kWp on-grid solar PV system, which covers 50% of the annual electricity consumption of the UN House, and is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 286 tonnes annually. The solar panels and solar energy supply power for the
The Government of Timor-Leste intends to replace part of this high-cost generation by more cost-efficient solar power. 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 solar plants as well as off-grid lighting solutions
As of 2023, Timor-Leste has not yet established any significant solar panel production capacity. 2 However, a notable installation includes the 300 kWp solar system at the UN House in Dili, which covers 75% of the daytime electricity
H.E. Mr. Samuel Marçal, the Minster of Public Works expressed his profound gratitude and appreciation to the Government of Japan and UNDP and emphasized the importance of green energy stating that "The solar panels provided today will help solve our electricity problems and ensure sustainable energy.

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.
3 MDF survey on understanding demand for solar in Dili, Timor-Leste. Timor-Leste’s rooftop PV solar industry is new and undeveloped. Limited availability of maintenance and spare parts inhibits some businesses from switching to solar.
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.
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.
Just as the remaining renewable energies sources that are being explored by the Government in Timor-Leste, the photovoltaic units (or solar project) implementation project is specially directed for the families that live in remote areas, where difficulties still exist in the national energy network installation.
MDF research found that lenders in Timor-Leste are unwilling to lend to small and medium sized enterprises due to levels of default, perceived risks, and the dificulty of securing collateral. Evaluate the upfront costs of installing solar panels versus long-term savings. Consider financing options to determine overall economic viability.
