My roof got like 3 "A" shape, that make it only usable either in morning or afternoon. for roof support, it need some specialist to do it. When I ask my contractor to redesign my house roof, he don't want to redesign my roof, cause he say my roof too many "A", he advice me to get a proper roof specialist for design. And that cost me another sum yawn.gif

Wonder if the installation cost including the authorized roof contractor?

What I read in the bipv project here that now running, there is some tnb approval contractor or pv company to do. Not any 1 contractor. They are specialist for this bipv project.

For your difficulty roof, hope they have some solution.

This is the speech from Y. B. DATO SRI PETER CHIN FAHKUI MINISTER OF ENERGY, GREEN TECHNOLOGY AND WATER AT
THE OFFICIAL LAUNCHING OF SEDA MALAYSIA’S OFFICE

So are we going to pay more if using more than 300kwh? Or 1% taken from the 300kwh bill which TNB is contribute not us? hmm.gif 

At the moment we are paying if using 300kwh is 200kwh = 43.6
                                                                        100kwh = 33.4
                                                                            Total  = RM77

300Kwh only? that is pretty low right? How many A/C hours you run per day? and Water heater?

Still waiting for my running bill when i move in next month.

I m around this 300kw range or lower. Each day about 9kw. With water heater almost everyday.

The over 300KWh charge addtional 1% will be effective on 1st coming dec. Already in news. So better save.

Sometime high HP cool room faster and work less. But not too big is not good.

Just like driving big CC car, going outstation fuel consumption is good. Town ride is bad because stop and go. Too big the cc, economical of scale will not reach.

the tax is a real downer. i had my plans all ready to replace the entire roof, secured the loan and then only noticed that i'll have to pay tax on the income.
that slashed my revenue by 23%. now ideal ROI is only around 6% at best, most likely less due to possible shading and other issues. and i still have to minus insurance on the panels, maintenance and stash away for possible replacement needs. so even before (internal) write off of the panel investment ROI goes way down and can barely reach 5% - 4% looks more like a real life figure. loan is more expensive than that so I guess I'll cancel my plans.

looks like if you want to benefit financially in any way from FiT you will need to have a company run the solar power generation. very sad - was hoping that doing something green is finally financially benefitial too but noooo sad.gif

how about off-grid (own consumption)? anybody doing it? how much the costing for 1 double storey house? or maybe 1 medium size room (e.g powering 1 fan,1 light,1 desktop pc,etc)
*
The money you put in will not have any return with only off-grid. And maintenance is high too because you need battery. Unless you using it only in sunny day.

Hello weikee do you know where to purchase good quality outdoor cables?  I've been asking around but most electrical shops don't have what I'm looking for.

Managed to find a battery specialist shop called Volga at Bdr Puteri Puchong. Just picked up 100AH 12V GP brand battery today. Cost RM650  shocking.gif
*
Don't know. I use 3M +33 Vinyl tape to protect the cable, than put it into a grey PVC pipe. This is what I did when I run expose wires in my mother house. I pull a direct cable from ground floor unused AC socket all the way to first floor toilet. Wire are expose. So far 6 years now. Still running good.

RS expensive.But sometime I brought from them. No choice. Another 1 is Misumi which selling japan cable and good quality. About RS price but custom tax expensive for cable.

Another shop is at jalan pasar. Walk down toward the plus junction traffic light jalan pudu. The shop is abit hidden and beside the corner parking lot. Don't no what name of the shop.

You can see some cable infront and there demo a cable which submerge inside the water.

Sometime no choice, cause RS bring many stuff not common in Malaysia. Like 3M tapes. Funny 3M factory is in Nilai, but hard to find shop carry 3M tapes

If the price is good, I will use solar to power all my IT equipment in my server room.

That way, i can save like RM 2 per day as my servers and network usage is about 200watt per hours.

Too bad is still long way to go.
