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.
Maintenance tends to be limited to repairing malfunctioning system components, instead of preventative care or servicing, which can reduce the effectiveness of solar energy systems and increase costs. Technicians in Timor-Leste have experience in small-scale, off-grid solar energy systems.
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 Timor-Leste, our road to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development starts at home. Our solar energy system can be a model for other UN Country Offices to show how we can jointly, sustainably and effectively tackle greenhouse emissions while reducing operational costs and scale up support across the United Nations System.
