Unless yr house got a power wall to store extra electric,  solar panel is a scam. In theory it will take 10 yr to pay for it self,  but ask yr self this question when yr house hold use more electric day time or night time?  Night time solar panel working?  Morning extra electric go to where?

i'm actually using more in the day, coz me and wife working from home, but i heard that we can even sell it back if underutilize, of can sort of get a discount, i don't think it have any battery pack kuah, coz i remember they say can sell extra to TNB if underutilised, so no need headache

Installed solar panel for my house.

For warranty:
Panel - 20 years
Inverter - 5 + 2 years
Workmanship - 3 years

Cost me around RM 24K for the whole package. Using Maybank 0 interest 24 month installment.
So far so good. Can even monitor power panel from apps.

did consider, but risk is too high, not worth the effort.

if everything according to plan, it takes 10 years to ROI. and there is no perfect guarantee it will last 10 years, and how much longer it can last after 10 years. cost of the solar panel will keep decreasing and efficiency of panels will keep increasing, in short, the later you install the faster you cover your investment. like maybe 5 years from now, it only take you 2 years to recover your investment(just blindly guess).

major part of the investment is the storage, aka batteries, if you able to strike a deal with tnb, allowing you to connect your solar into tnb(reverse the meter when your solar generate more than your usage) and without batteries, it can be alot cheaper, lesser problems, and more worth it.

technically still not a good investment for money, unless you have so much money and no where else to spend, better dont do it, price of electricity in malaysia isnt that high yet until you need to do that, if 1 day our electricity cost double, then  your ROI will shorten, then you can reconsider.

kind of want to do it now for future lah, electricity also keep increasing in price now, and i'm planning to move to a new house, so want to do it now, as don't plan to move soon, initially wanted to do it on the current house, lucky didn't else, wasted.

any members use "https://www.simplisolar.com/"?
I'm looking at Sols Energy (Backup by Petronas) /  Verdant too.
Comments are welcome.

Need change from Single Phase to 3 phase if need more than 5KW. Any recommend TNB Approval contractors that could do internal wiring too?

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.
