oh pkay; rolling 12mth.
dah macam loyalty card pulak 😅

Will the investment gonna be worth it over paying for TNB's tariff for residential property throughout it's entire useful life including the panels and the inverters?

Weather is getting bloody hot these days.

somebody mentioned 1-phase can only up to 4kW.
I regret that my wife didn't consult me before signing up TNB supply; else I would have advised to go 3-phase right from start.

anyway, if solar can chip off a portion of bill, that is already welcomed. the bill is variable, so to cover with preset target like must wipe 100% is over-optimistic and wasting if eventually the usage ended up below what I am generating.

sounds decent equipment. make sure they don't undersize the inverter....sometimes installer say 8kw solar panel, but inverter 6kw cukup due to peak load spreading.

sure ok until warranty over, then sure the inverter kaput before due date to over-load.

up to you if want to take risk 

Thanks mate, you are right, SMA cost 20% more, and I ask ERS to give me jinko board plus Goodwe.
They agreed this morning.

why ? you thinking of micro-inverter ?

Mine also from ERS, almost 2y2m installed already save me RM19.6k. My cost was RM38k back then, extended warranty on my inverter too. Good buy I totally agreed for heavy users.

With  the Budget 2024 announcement on the 13th Oct, care to share if u think the terms will be better that NEM 3.0?  TQ

inverters die about 8 to 12 years. big box inverter can repair. micro-inverter - i heard - just replace.

pros and cons.

which micro-inverter brand are you using ?

Many thanks in advance.

Anyone know which company that tie up with maybank for 60 months installment?

Usually after 10 years u have to replace this and that already

it really depends on what rate u are paying.



this is my bill

the 1st 200 unit is at RM0.218 per KW, its very very cheap

the next 100 unit at RM0.334 per KW, sudden 50%+ increment over the 1st 200 unit

then the next 300 unit at RM0.516 per KW, which is 2.36x compare to the 1st 200 unit

i believe there are 2 more category after the 0.516, the max should be very close to RM0.6 per KW, which is about 3  times over the 1st 200 units
now talking about is it worth it or not, depends on how much u are paying for the last category, the RM0.6 per KW, lets say you use alot of power, like 2000 kw, more than 1000KW is from that RM0.6 per KW category, you would like your solar to completely cover that 0.6 category plus maybe the last 2 category.

but if you are only paying first 2 category (<300kW per month), then its NOT WORTH IT, 100% conQlanfirm.

well if the gov remove subsidy, you can expect sudden spike in solar panel installation and alot of promotion, technically price of installation will also greatly reduced when market kaboom, i would wait for that moment =p

How many kwh is your average monthly usage?

10 yrs down the road?
By then, solar panels technology would have improved & cost lower?

You installed with battery?

mine install in sept from 700/month to 20 per month.. and mostly is fees and taxes in that.. real usage probably less than 10

but november macam haram, everyday rain.. so bill is around 90.. kns
