“At most, we might just be more energy conscious if we want to save on our electricity bill once the subsidies end,” he said.


This is why subsidies that encourage consumption are bad. The more you spend, the more you can see the subsidised amount in ringgit.

Actually yes, it is called balcony solar. In German, it is known as balkonkraftwerk.

They have a balcony solar registration system over there.
Just plug and play the grid tie inverter into ordinary power socket and register/inform the grid operator to reprogram the digital meter not to count the export as consumption. Any extra power export, grid provider profit!!! This is different than net metering scheme where consumer is not being paid for the power export in balcony solar scheme.

If any of you try to use such grid tie inverter in Malaysia, TNB digital meter will count any extra power export as consumption, meaning you are billed for the export.

Previously, their legislation limited the balcony solar output to 600W, it is extended to 800W now.

Perhaps Malaysia should do the same too? Balkonkraftwerk as the solution for high rise and landed? Less hassle and safer.

Don't lah... there will be idiots who install the panels outside their balcony railing.
