It was more worth it when there was the Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) scheme, that scheme you can sell back to TNB at high margins.
with NEM scheme, sure you can recoup your investment, but on average it is about 7-8 years.
Might as well wait a little longer until 2-3 years from now once battery storage price / kWh becomes way cheaper.
now you install solar at your house(residential), its like catching falling knife in my opinion.
but if you install for capacity at larger than 50kWp, it makes more sense economically, you can ROI quicker on average 5-6 years.
I work in solar EPC company, anything can direct PM ask.

Feed-in-Tariff scheme no longer running? where can i get latest official info?

i've just finished the installation with verdant, quick and torture free, they apply everything on your behalf, so you don't need to headache anything.

Is that included 3 Phase or just the solar?

Solar panel is kinda like rich pipu game/hobby.

U willing to spend 30-40k to reduce rm100-300 tnb bills monthly? The battery capacity and panel also deterioriate yearly. After 10 years maybe your solar panel system kaput need replace with new one.

only useful on sunny day. on raining season, power output next to nothing.
for example, a lot of these solar power projects built by state gov in rural Sarawak but end up useless coz the system cant supply enough power for daily use, and end up collect dust during raining season.

This project failed, need ask bini Bossku..

Based on your calculations, spend 20k to save 2k per year in 10 years?

Well, depends on how much TNB tariff increase later. tongue.gif
The higher TNB increase your ROI will be even faster.

So it will take ~6.5 years to recoup back the cost. Not bad. :thumbsup:

More like 7.5 years breakeven realistically after accounting for present value of future flows and deterioration of solar efficiency and maintenance for some

Seems like per panel is higher wattage.
So use 380w panel achieve 5kW with 140panel.

Have anyone use Plus Xnergy? How is their quality of inverter & panels? How is it compare to Verdant Solar?

I'm leaning toward Plus Xnergy, but nothing is confirmed.Looking forward to some replies
