Provide two reasons why Singapore is increasing its deployment of solar photovoltaics(PV) even though the EROEI is low compared to other energy sources.

Reducing Dependence on Fossil Fuels: Singapore is heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels for its energy needs. By increasing the deployment of solar photovoltaics, Singapore can reduce its dependence on these fuels, which are not only finite but also subject to price volatility and geopolitical risks.

Environmental Sustainability: Despite the lower Energy Return on Energy Invested (EROEI), solar photovoltaics are a clean and renewable source of energy. By increasing its deployment, Singapore is making a conscious effort to reduce its carbon emissions and contribute to global efforts in mitigating climate change. This aligns with Singapore's commitment to the Paris Agreement and its goal to become a sustainable city.
