I also had this question in mind, and then I came across this article which I feel can be quite useful to answering your question: https:// www.propertyguru.com.sg/property-guides/solar-panel-singapore-57329

In summary:
  • You technically can if you live in a landed property, but it is quite hard because a licensed electrical worker (LEW) needs to endorse the system. If you are not familiar with the safety standards, building and electrical rules and regulations , it's better to just get a professional to do it.
  • If you live in a conservation area or intend to install elevated solar panels from one to 1.8 metres above your roof, or plan to put the space under the solar panels for commercial use, you need to ask for permission
  • If you live in condominium penthouse or strata landed property, you have to ask your MCST first for approval before installing. However, you will not be allowed to export or sell excess electricity to the grid and might be held liable for any risks to the condominium.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the link.

So in article point no.6....it's not illegal to have solar panels if it's INSIDE YOUR HOME.
So outside flat, need to seek permission/permit.

6. Can You Install Solar Panels in HDB Flats?​

If you live in an HDB flat, you are unfortunately not allowed to install solar panels on your flat’s rooftop. However, HDB does have a 10-year master plan to become more energy-efficient by 2030, with a solar energy target of providing power for 350,000 homes. For instance, 527 HDB blocks in Tanjong Pagar will have solar panels installed.

While HDB has no specific rules against installing solar panels in your flat, do note that no installations should be set up outside of your flat unless you get approval. You’ll have to abide by Common Property and Open Spaces rules.

So is there such thing as solar panel window panes in Singapore? :s13:

But then do these panels generate radiation boh? Usually panels install away from close proximity of residents
