i always thought NEM3  scheme "currency" is kWh.

export this many kWh, use back this many kWh.
it's just nett kWh at the end of day.

also, if generate 100% flows out to grid, then u-turn back to house.

i'm myself planning to install solar based on this understanding.

--

apparently, kWh used immediately by house first, then the leftovers are the one that escapes to grid.

and now, what i can see from the bill; TNB converted the the kWh into monetary value.

and that's where the screw up happens to solar exporters.
your currency trading example becomes logical.

I highly doubt normal terrace houses do that.

If they do, they have poor lifestyle management. The only way to solve that is to earn more.

No, the scheme main point is to get people reduce their consumption by promoting local generation at people's home. Another plus for renewable energy.

TNB does not need nor want your solar power, they generate their own power just fine.

The problem is that these T20 take advantage by installing huge solar installations so that they produce excess during the day then night time they go all out on electricity usage because of that excess.

You think tnb don't incur cost to supply all that transformers that are used at night time but hardly used during the day?

If I were tnb I prefer customers without solar. Maybe they use 5kwh constantly whole day, rather than someone who generate 20kwh during the day but use 30kwh during the night. It's a no brainer who costs tnb more.

That was not the idea at the start. Ppl actually was thinking about profiting from it

They pay an initial cost to install the solar panels and they expect to have their initial investment paid for in at most 10 years. Then the rest is bonus or free money.

Actually this policy is to ensure every household try to use lower than 1500. Solar can help to go over provided the excess are mostly morning time. 

This surcharge doesn’t discriminate solar or non solar. 

But this step could make ppl think solar is not worth it. In actual fact solar is still worth every penny.

No offence but that's just wishful thinking on people who wants to benefit from solar.

To make it simple, think of electricity as the same as petrol.
You "make" petrol in your house during the day and sell it to Petronas.
Then you buy back petrol from Petronas during the night.

If both are to be paid based on the same rate, then that means Petronas has to pay for the delivery and storage of the petrol?
Obviously they won't want to do that.

For solar, electricity is that petrol.
And all the delivery and storage? That's the transformers, cables, generators, electrical infrastructure, etc that TNB has to maintain for you but you are not paying for when you sell your excess solar back to TNB.

You'll be surprised what people will do when they don't have to pay for electricity.
When they have a big enough solar installation to offset the bills, they will act the same way.

then sign a new contract la.
TNB dont want to accept old equipment?

The NEM tenure will be for a period of ten (10) years on commencement of the NEM Contract. After the ten (10) years period,the solar PV Installation shall be strictly for self-consumption in the Premise where the solar PV installation is installed, and no offset and roll-over will be allowed for any excess Energy exported.

Actually solar no scam la. Whole thing is free. Plus saving after 10 years.

Like myself. Pay 40k, get back 80k within 10 years.

Easy money. 20% return. Rather than letting it sit in Fd. Only 5%.

what business natural? Restaurant or office? Restaurant for sure die.

One of my friend lagi kesian
Before solar. - meter register below 1500 kWh
Bill is around 500-600 ringgit
After solar. Change meter
Meter register 1800kwh
Even with the generation.
Bill is rm600++.

No change solar no problem. 

This problem is because the old meter register not accurate usage. So he didn’t know his actual usage is way above 1500.

Tesla Malaysia did? Where’s the teaser?

That was not the idea at the start. Ppl actually was thinking about profiting from it

This is still the idea. At least for me. Coz my bill still rm3 from rm600 and I don’t get the icpt surcharge.

Yes it was this ridiculous at the start.
Tnb actually paid more for the electricity you generated.
