thanks, avereng. You have a valid point about SEDA's vision.

also, I salute the suria1000 pioneers. they took the plunge when others hesitated.

still, we need a system that rewards the rakyat who invest in solar for domestic use. TNB should recognize the fact that multiple solar installations help in meeting peak demand.

Many solar ASPs are now in a jam. Many customers but can't move forward because cannot get quota.

SEDA is organzing dialog sessionwith Feed-in Approval Holders on 20 Oct 2013 (Sun).

I have registered and will attend to bring up some proposals for the FiT problem.

http://seda.gov.my/?omaneg=000101000000010...000&y=45&s=3070

just ignore it. the dialog is free

yes, I wished I had installed a system of 4kWp. this is my next project, to increase my capacity to 4kWp.

This is a simple calculation for a system of 4 kWp capacity.

power generation per month = 4 kW x 3.3333 hours* x 30 days = 400 kWh per month

FiT rate for 2013 (and for the next 21 years)= RM1.3708 per kWh

FiT payment by TNB per month is = 400 kWh x RM 1.3708 per kWh = RM548 per month

Note *
3.3333 hours is Peak Sun Hours factor, i.e. the no. of hours per day when the solar intensity is at the maximum.

pls see the SEDA FAQ http://seda.gov.my/go-home.php?omaneg=0001...000000000000000

This is the daily production output from my 2.5 kWp system. I am happy, on many days the system output exceeded the expectation of 8.3 kWh per day.

Sep: 240.12 kWh (x RM1.3708= RM329)
Aug: 243.11 kWh
Jul: 160.29 kWh (system was connected to TNB on 9 July, = 22 days production in July)

Hi avereng,

pls describe your system.

Capacity:
Panel manuf:
Watt:
no of panels

inverter:

System Integratror.

any pictures?

My system

Capacity: 2.5kWp
Panels: 10 x Bosch Monocrystalline 245W
Inverter: SMA 3000TL
Remote monitoing: Sunny Webbox
Commissioning date: 09 July 2013

where is your location? Seaside areas are better than inland places in Malaysia. Solar irradiance is higher near seaside.

Kaco is a good German manufacturer. For monitoring apps, each inverter manufacturer have their own monitoring equipment at extra cost. I think a monitoring system is essential. If you don't install one, you may never know how your system is performing, or even worse, you are not aware of a faulty system.

I monitor mine on a daily basis to know how much RM I get each day :-) for the next 21 years.

sorry forgot to ask, who is your SI?

This is link to a KACO fanboy (USA dealer) page, KACO vs SMA. I think SMA products rock :-)

Hi people,

I have posted my solar installation story in an electrical engineering blog

http://www.jestineyong.com/solar-renewable...y-installation/

enjoy :-)

Short answer:

1. install a hardware such as SMA WebbBox monitoring equipment
2. register monitoring software at SMA Sunny Portal

Hi all. I am happy to share another milestone in my solar installation:

today cumulative energy exported breached the RM1,000 mark.



not bad for a 2.5kWp system, connected to TNB since 09 July 2013.

average income = RM10.80 per day. 21 more years to go .

cheers :-)

Hello all,

Happy to share this email with all who are interested :-)

study visits by prior appointment always welcome. pm me.


cheers from sunny Putrajaya,

Hi there.

Your 12 kWp system should yield about 1,200 kWh per month or 40 kWh/day. Assuming you have got the 2013 rate of RM1.3708 per kWh, then you can expect to get 1,200 x 1.3708 = RM 1,645 per month.

Terms & conditions apply, as they say in the advertising world ;-)

Mind giving more info on your set-up? Inverter, panels, location?

enjoy your PV earnings for the next 21 years. junaidi.

Yes, mine is a 2.5kWp system. the payment was the first since T&C, so it was for 2 months' reading of the PV meter.

12 kWp is the maximum capcity allowed by SEDA for each individual. monthly income of RM1,600 is expected.
