Hi guys ,
Im dilemma of this three solar panel choice .

Alpha - 12.6kwh rm38k ( string inverter )
Solanatec - 13.6kwh rm42k ( string inverter )
Pathgreen - 13kwh rm46k ( micro inverter )

Or got any recommendation other than this three company .

For home use . Monthly bill around 700-900 .


Updated 12 june 23 : Thanks bee88 for guidance , now im going for micro inverters from GeenPath . Ill update this thread for results after the installation and so on .


Updated 8th October 23 :

Installation already completed on september 7th . Now is already 1 month after the solar installation .

30 days solar generated = 1440kwh .

My electric bill from RM650 drop to RM25 only .

During this 30 days of testing , i actually increase my electricity usage . I start to turn on my living room aircon 3-5 hours daily .


Pros of installing solar panel :
1) TNB electricity bill is subsidized and have tiers , it is cheaper for the first 300 kwh , and after 300kwh is about RM0.5 per kwh .

With solar , total kwh of the month will minus total solar generated , then only they will calculate according to the tier and bill you . In other words , the solar generated electricity will cover the most expensive tier for you .


2) With the new ICPT implementation, if your electricity monthly usage is above 1500kwh , you will be charged about rm150 extra monthly .

But with solar system , it is almost impossible to reach 1500kwh . As during day time when the solar is generating electricity, it will actually supply to your home electricity before sending the surplus back to the grid .

Example :
Monthly usage 1600kwh , solar generated 1500kwh .

But the meter will show 900kwh , solar generated 800kwh .

Coz the 700kwh is tallies during the day use .


3) You can have the freeeom to utilize air conditioner during hot days . Cause you will know that if it is a hot day , your solar will generate alot of electricity that day . This is a very good balance of temperature in your house , though not very environmentally friendly 😀


Why choose Pathgreen Sdn bhd ( non paid advertisement )

1) They offer micro-inverter at string-inverter price .

2) The price they propose is available for installment for up to 60 months .

3) They offer risk-shared plan after 5 years , which is not many solar company will offer . Quote from them " they are confident that their solar system will still perform well even after 5 years , hence they willing to share risk with buyer , they will charge 10% of your total solar generated every month and will cover every maintenance and repair work if needed "

Never heard of , good ?

One of the biggest company iinm

Cimb also emailed me their partner solar company



Can contact each one of them

Your usage very high, 900 monthly....

Try buysolar.my.

Try Verdant Solar

Solar just doesn't worth the trouble in Malaysia with current pricing of battery and solar panel efficiency.

To best way to save electricity is to use high energy star electronic and practice rational use and house insulation.

Also don't be a fat ass, saving on food cost too.

Why would you need a battery? Whatever you generate will just minus back using NEM right? So it will just knock blocks off from your bill

show detailed quote lah.....inverter brand / solar panel brand etc

Vestech subsidary of Solarvest

NEM? I don't know how that work.
But our weather has too many cloud which can reduce the efficiency of solar power.
Also it is only better if the solar panel can follow the sun.

I'd go with the micro inverter option if you have the money, better energy yield as it doesn't get affected by shadows much

The other two options depend on what are they offering in terms of inverter and solar panel brands, plus the warranty.

Wait till the revise the tariff.
And with ringgit keep depreciating, u will see differently after 5-10 years

Go micro.

any available in kuching?

Monthly about 500 sesco bill

Micro inverter.




Usage Calculation for 1HP aircon = 8 Hours per day.

Seem to be expensive compare to normal electric bill.

It doesn’t work this way for real solar system. This is just some form of diy. Don’t expect to save electricity like the system I installed.
