So, your system generated electricity for 41 days and it went up in thin air?

Do share with the rest of us of the progress. Thinking of installing one too..

How long it took SEDA to approve your application?

sorry I confused some members here.  My SI completed the job of installing the panels 42 days ago but the system cannot be connected to the grid until it is Tested & Commissioned by TNB.  any how, I already got TNB date next week for this to happen.  I expect my first payment from TNB in Sept 2013 (I give two months delay to be on safe side).

I encourage members to read the comprehensive FAQ at SEDA.  It answers most of the questions that people have on RE.

Yes, I will share progress of the project at the forum, including some project photos.  However, for pricing of the system, do send me a PM.  I don't want to be in breach of forum rules.

cheers

Bro, your house roof gradient is very high. Your PV system generation will be lower than others. Your Service Provider told u bout this concern before?

Some of my friends installed their solar PV in April and until today the contractor cannot get TNB to test and commission the system.  All the powner generated for more than a month has gone down the drain.
There is an article today in Malaysiakini asking Parliament to push to close down SEDA.

pity that your case went whirling

1)interested in knowing your installation, care to share some photos?

2) if it is not approved at the end, you may switch your system to off-grid usage.
go buy batteries and a controller(not sure the current one you installed)
tap the wires from PV to the controller, connect controller output to the battery bank. the controller will control the charging of the battery
battery energy will be used supply electricity to your home use when it is filled
or the controller will switch to tnb when it detects the battery is going run out of energy.

In that case, your installation will not be wasted.

btw, what is S02 bonus for extra RM0.25? want to install the system ourselves and just ask SI to certify and apply with TNB. We also want to know more the installation standard, requirement, etc.

thanks for sharing.

Around RM35k ~ RM36k for a 4kW System. There are 5 persons doing this together with me, I got a relatively better group purchase.

My system was approved as integrated i.e. additional for use as building materials with bonus S02 for additional RM0.25.  The solar panel was installed over a steel structure like an awning covering the whole air well on top of the roof.  Now the COO said this system does not qualify for integrated because there is no activity under the panel.  There are no proper guidelines or terms and conditions which stipulates that there must be activity under the panel.  It is only after 6 months after having completed the system and waiting for payment that SEDA COO came out with the condition and told my contractor that the system does not qualify  for bonus S02 after having approved my application and sign the REPPA agreement with me.  If SEDA have informed me of the condition during my application then I would not have installed the panel and wasted almost RM50,000 of my hard earned money.  Now who is at fault, SEDA or contractor?  Why must I be penalized for their mistake?  The power generated have been feed to the grid for more than 6 months and I have not received a single cent.

Thanks Arjunaidi for your help.  Now I realized its not COO's fault, my apologies, I have been ill-advised.

For your information, I got 16 kw yesterday and 18 kw today for my 4.0 kw system.  My max was 24 kw and min. 3 kw per day since installation

wah u also here?

anyway isnt better to use normal tnb rate for home use, and solar production sell back to tnb?

Build over airwell is good idea. Panel efficiency lost due to heat is lower.
FYI, on a good month, my PV system can get 3.8-4kWh/kWp performance for Selangor area.

the haze is back at Putrajaya. The diffused light is not good for solar production, I expect yield to be reduced :-(

Arjunaidi, TNB paid U already boh for that 100 kW?
eggs counting and hatching thinggy neh
i worry too coz i've vested interest too

I have a question here as well. Since your Solar Panel rating is 2.5kwp; how is it that its producing 6-7kWh?

Thanks

Never heard of this brand before, anyway to find info from the web

Quota is running out very fast nowdays. Everyday 150Kw~200Kw being taken start from July.
If anyone really want to install for 2013 rate, must act fast now.
