April 2013 average generation is 3.48kWh/kWp but July looks like going to be lowest, up to now is 3.33kWh/kWp

Do this kind of loan require lawyer processing fee?

They rather sell a 4 to 12kw system

I'm more of a diy experimenting with 240watt.....if they have no work, then the can entertain more nooby question.  But many of them gearing up for the release of new FIT quota now..... Since got addn 0.6%....

Maybe its 29 wh! Just the no 29. Wrong decimal?

I installed a 12kw system.

The level is almost impossible if you DIY and get cert. Not the hardware part problem. But the tender, submitting form and procedure is difficult. The SEDA rules that prevent you from DIY. Good luck.

It been run for over a mth. There is some waste in this setup. As mostly the panel just sitting there after the battery full. The gadget mostly charging in the night. After the battery full charge for 1-2hr, the rest of the day is waste without using for anything. So decide to reconfigure the setup to direct feed back to the main.

Direct feeding is much more easy to setup. As you can see in the picture, it only require a MCB, grid tie inverter, watt meter for DC and watt meter for AC. The panel have to rewiring to 24VDC. So the panel will be in 2 pcs in series with 3 set in parallel. In this setup, when the sun up, it direct feed into the inverter. The inverter will wakeup when it sense the DC power coming in. The DC watt meter is to monitor the power coming from the panel. Once the inverter wakeup, it will check the voltage out going, Hz and DC incoming range. Than start to run and feedback to the main.



Here it showing the watt feeding to the main from the inverter.


Here is showing the panel incoming watt, Amp, voltage etc.


So does it really feedback to the main? Here is the house meter running backward when feedback. It run from right to left. Usual running is from left to right.


In this setup, there is some waste in effeciency. The inverter efficiency is about 86% and below. It mean the panel output every 100w, only 86w it feedback to the main. Well, it still better than sitting duck for the panel. It running only few day now. Have yet see the total KWH for a mth. Will check the bill for end of this mth.

The setup cost for this DIY

1) Solar panel 30W 12v RM85/pcs
2) Charge controller 10A 12/24V RM35
3) Inverter 240VAC RM310
4) Others --- forget liau. Cause longtime purchase before this DIY. 

Aiyah, you think you only kena poison meh. He......

This wago simplified my wiring termination. Very usefull. But a bit messy and confuse when doing the series and parallel wiring. So got to becarefull.

Well, if got the chance go again....

If you go HK, take 1 day go over to Shenzhen. It only take 1hr to the electronic street. And I guarantee you won't comeback HK after night. 

If you want the contact and address of the shop, let me know.

Yes. Compare here which is selling at RM360/pcs for 30W.    6pcs panel is already max I can carried back. Freaking heavy with 2.8kg/pcs.    Lucky I topup the luggage weight free.  They have 10w, 20w 30w, 40w, 80w and 100w+ over panel. Depend you can carry back or not. No tax go thru airport custom.

3kWatt ? Cannot la. That too costly. 3kw, I better power others beside heater and aircon.

If you go they holiday lah.  The shipping cost killing you. 

I let the airport custom scan the box everything. But no ask or tax also.

It is a 200w grid tie inverter.

Next family trip, tell your wife go china or HK. Makesure your wife not suspect you look for PRC. 

Pasar road expensive la. Get it from aliexpress.com. I brought a lot of thing from this site. But also aware some is expensive than ebay. But shipping time faster than ebay.

I think use solar panel to generate power for the storage heater is do able.

After cracking my head, I think the cost can be lower to setup. But the setup is different from your idea. Need to DIY some modification. Don't need the inverter which will lost some power and entirely run on DC power. What is your storage tank capacity?

Given you using the joven 68l/15gallon model. Take 60min to reach 43c using 3kw heater.

Modify to lower the heater to 1.2kw and run on 12VDC. That would take (3/1.2)x60 = 2.5hr to reach 43c. Not a problem with this long heating time since let it run 24hr. Free energy mah.

The parts
1) solar panel 250W@12vdc 3pcs@400        - RM1200
2) Charger controller 60A                            - RM300
3) Heating element 12VDC 600W 2pcs@155 - RM310
4) Battery NS70 65Ahr 12VDC 7pcs@155    - RM1085
5) Others                                                  - RM700

Cost RM3.6k.

The Battery can backup for 2day. But not necessary need. Given it optional, Cost can reduce to RM2.5K.

Apa macam ? Do able? 

For me, Maybe get a micro solar heater for RM5K. 

Feed back much more easy. Cost panel RM1.2k + Inverter RM950 = 2.2k. Probably can generate 2.5kwh/day. Supplement your heater.

Buy, buy, buy.
