I wouldn't be surprised if they came from China, like most things today. I may be wrong.

I am an engineer but for solar PV, I left it to SEDA approved service provider with ISPQ certified engineer. A good ASP will take you through all the legal, technical and financial aspects of the installation.

I do not recommend the DIY approach. The solar PV system is meant for service life of at least 2i years, so don't cut corners on equipment, design and expertise.

my 2 sen (carbon free) opinion.

I saw this on SEDA website today. I am seeking confirmation from SEDA that Solar PV quota for 2013 is finished.

Here is email just received from SEDA Director of Feed-in Tariff:

Dear Arjunaidi,

"Yes, at the moment there is only 13 kW left for individuals which is not viewable due to the limitation in space of the dashboard (2 d.p). We will be deploying quota by today/tomorrow for this as we have anticipated this early last week. Tq

Gladys"

so there you go. I guess whoever is interested will have to keep watching for announcement from SEDA for the 2014 quota.

arjunaidi

I got this info from my ASP.

"Yes, it's true..the individual solar pv quota for the 2nd half of this year is depleted. However there are remaining balance of quota during the 1st half that didn't been taken up so we expect that SEDA will transfered it in this 2nd half 2013."

Anyone interested to apply, pls PM me. TQ.

I am in favour of more quota too.

An alternative to Feed-in Tariff is Net Metering, I am working with Malaysian PV industry people to prepare a working paper to the Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water.

Net Metering is quite complicated to explain, so do take some time to read the wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_metering

Putrajaya (Tuesday, 30th July 2013): In response to the individuals' demand for the FiT for solar PV, SEDA Malaysia has released another 500 kW of solar PV quota for the individuals today. SEDA Malaysia will monitor the quota especially for the individuals on regular basis and release quota on the premise of RE Fund allocation.
_______________________________________________________
good news, apply for quota now. 500kW is not a lot, equivalent to 125 houses if each had 4kWp installed.

SEDA to release another 900 kW quota for individuals today.

I got the best specific yield of 4.07 kWh/kWp last week. Actually cloud cover reduced the output quite significantly. Coastal areas such as Penang and Miri fared best weather for solar pv generation.

Good morning all.

afraid the weather forecast is not so good for solar production next week.

Hi all.

Does anyone here know when TNB sends out the payment advice? today the meter reader came to my house. to my disappointment, he only left the electricity bill. I was expecting that he left a Payment Advice based on the reading of my Renewable Energy Meter. I wonder if he was even aware of the RE meter???

hey, nice one! RM5.5k+ reimbursement from a 4 kWp plant. How long have your plant been commissioned?

yup, you got these factors helping you:

1. SMA inverter :-) great choice

2. located in Penang, one of the best places in Malaysia to have a solar pv installation

3. what brand/type of panel you have?

4. who is your SI?


cheers from arjunaidi in not so sunny Putrajaya, my PV just hit the RM500 mark today, 48 days since commissioning on 9 July 2013.

pls share TNB's invoice, you can blank out sensitive info.

I can't wait to get mine.

The domestic solar quota situation is bad. SEDA is expected to release the final 500 kW for individuals for 2013 tomorrow.

This is enough for only 125 homes of 4 kWp capacity. The quota will be snapped up within minutes of release.

I am glad I got my FiT approval in April this year. The government ought to study new ways to increase the installation of solar PV especially for individuals

SEDA delays release of 1,500 kW quota to 18 September 2103. Their server crashed on 4 September when it was overwhelmed with online applications.

I am sharing info on how TNB payment advice looks like. just got mine for the first time yesterday.

I like the 21 year contract :-)

21 years of:

1. receiving money from TNB
2. knowing you are reducing greenhouse gases
etc

Today's available quota is 1.5 MW. that's equivalent of 375 installations of 4kWp. not much, so I predict the quota will be snapped up quick.

the govt ought to improve the FiT system to cater for a million homes to be grid connected, but the mechanics of the FiT payout (where, how, whom, etc) have to be ironed out.

Just like I predicted. the govt must rethink the FiT system.

here is what a foreign observer wrote about the FiT system
