So if most people use aircons to sleep ~8 hrs/night , solar will not help reduce ?
Getting quite technical here to calculate watts etc .... when exactly does solar generates and offset , when there is daylight eg from 7am onwards or must have sunlight eg 10am onwards

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 .
Some updates,
During daytime the solar electricity generated is used to offset our usage. But night time is entirely from TNB supply.
Since I got visitors stayed for 3-4 weeks, my Aug & Sep usage were above 1500kw, TNB will not offset these readings even though I have surplus of 600kw.
I was charged the ICPT penalty. So instead of getting the 2sen subsidy, now I was charged 10sen for the 15++ usage ( actually is 12sen since no 2 sen sub). An extra of RM180 if 1500kw used....
Then only they will deduct the surplus stored 600kw.
So my bills came up to RM600+ since solar generation also low .. last month usage was 1470kw, my bill is RM3xx only. So beware not to cross the magical 1500kw usage from TNB.
Cheers.
