care to share how much you invested? how many KW you installed? and how much you get monthly from TNB in average? We also want to install for 2 old aunts in penang.

thank you

care to tell how much for the payment?

I would like to introduce about Solar Power Feed in Tariff (FIT) . This is a new thing in Malaysia but already available some countries like German, Australia and western countries quite some time. Japan also just started not long ago.
1. What is Solar PV?
Basically it is a electrical/electronic system that produce electricity from Sun light that is installed on a building or on the ground.
PV stands for Photovoltaic. The term "photovoltaic" comes from the Greek φῶς (phōs) meaning "light", and from "Volt", the unit of electro-motive force, the volt. (Wikipedia).
2. What is a Feed in Tariff (FIT)?
Feed in Tariff is a special tariff rate that TNB would buy electricity from the Solar PV owner. The FIT rate for 2013 is around 4x of TNB residential Tariff rate, this means TNB is buying at a 4x tariff rate compare to the tariff rate that they are selling. The FIT is govern by Sustainable Energy Development Authority Malaysia. (SEDA)
3. How to apply for the Feed in Tariff?
Yoou could engage a SEDA/ISPQ qualified Solar System Integrator or service provider to apply for the Feed in Tariff.
4. Could i apply it myself?
Technically you could do so. Please visit the SEDA site (http://seda.gov.my/) there are tutorials and forms in the site that woud guide you for the application.
5. What is the duration of the Feed in Tariff?
The duration would be 21 years. Basically TNB would sign a contract with the FIT rate with the Solar PV owner for 21 years.
6. How do we see the money?
An additional PV meter (similiar to TNB meter) would be install to record down the electricity generated by the Solar PV system. TNB would pay you based on the unit (kWH) generated multiply by the Feed in Tariff Rate.
7. What is the ROI?
The ROI roughly would be ~12%-17%* *this an estimation only and depends on the solar pv location, geographical condition, design, and many other factors. Please consult your service provider/system integrator to provide the calculation.

8. How much do we earn actually?
We would earn around RM500-RM2000 passive income per month for typical house/shoplot Solar PV system.
Please visit the official government website http://seda.gov.my/ for more details.
Updates:

Solar PV FIT updates from 26th Feb briefing with SEDA at UNITEN:

For Individual applications:
- Maximum capacity per application: 12 kWp
- Maximum Feed In Application (FiA): 2 applications per individual
- Maximum total capacity per individual: 24 kWp
- Application charge: RM10 per kWp and minimum RM100
- Processing charge: RM100 (online), RM200 (manual)
- FiA Transfer charge: RM1000 ( sell property etc)
- FiA Transfer charge: RM200 (pass away)
- Feed in Applicant(FiA) and property owner can be different person (parents, siblings, children and etc)

For Company applications:
- Maximum capacity per company: 30 MWp
- Maximum capaciy per individual in company: 5MWp
- Announced 20 MWp quota for Solar PV system < 500kWp announced for end of Mar 2013
- For capacity > 24kWP, regessesion rate changed from -8% yearly to -20% yearly starting 2013
- Company need to have paid up capital of 20k for <24kWp and 50k for >24kWp

For Community applications:
- Proposal for community application for house of worship, hall, etc and max capacity 24kWp
I would update the post later with more details when there is more time.

the hardware used in SOLAR PV FIT got any assigned standard or measurement by SEDA?
possible to do the installation by our own and just ask to install meter and tap to TNB part from you? if yes, how much?

any authorised integrator list?

licensed electrician can install the meter?

you meant only the meter part or the whole system?

You meant we cannot buy our own solar panel?

You could buy your own solar panel/equipment and install it yourself.

But if you want to connect to the TNB grid and sell electricity with the Feed in Tariff rate.

You will need the to go through the certification and application process through SEDA and TNB.

[/quot]

so how much are the fee to get the certification and application process

same questions as you, free bump

can't believe they change so fast? can't imagine they start to look for excuses to limit green energy? sigh

should be ok

venue?
registration on site? or online?

where about? only held in one state or other states regularly?
thanks

private event? not run by bank?

ok, will pm you if possible to arrange go up, wont b in kl this period.

how to arrange with SI and TNB? NOT SYSTEM INTEGRATOR DO for you?

also want an answer clearly, bump

so you got battery pack installed and a device to switch between self use mode and tnb mode(in-grid mode)? thank you

there is app downloaded to know the optimised sunlight angle if not mistaken.

you mentioned that you can tap the electricity from the solar panel directly use with your home appliance immediately, do you need to install battery to store the energy, or the system you installed allow you to use the solar energy directly without any extra energy storing device?

thank you

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.

any english version?
