i think you should know the purpose of ICPT surcharge, it is to cover up fuel cost.
night time you are using energy mostly came from fuel,neutral gas and coal, not solar.

just charge your vehicle during the day time, when your solar panel generating energy, rich people have multiple car, takkanlah every car habis battery?

Oh wow. What a dumb rule.

But look at the bill, even if you use during daytime, it still feeds off the grid, the energy generated is only to contra to the grid no?

its not about solar or not solar.
its about your usage high. they charge you because the logic is, the more you use, the more they need to innovate to sustain the load. what if everyone also high utilization? more grid is needed.

this is to curb high usage and wastage, by charging you more.

Should put it this way:

Msia petrol one of cheapest



Bodo for those think drive EV will save moneh for petrol

Thanks TS for letting us know how TNB charge the ICPT. IMO as long as you import from TNB, they spent that amount to generate the electricity you import thus if you exceed the subsidized quota, you pay the full cost (so the rest of us don't have to subsidize you). Your Solar Panels generated electricity that was sold back to TNB at the agreed price in your agreement/contract independent of ICPT (and you already know this when you installed your solar panel). Thus I don't see the issue here. Like some other say, you CAN opt to charge your car during the day thus lowering your energy import. Moreover you should calculate the amount you save per km vs petrol to make it more apple to apple comparison.

75kw needed to charge 60kw battery, then it is 25% lost, assume 60kwh giving u 300km, then 1 kw is 5km, and 100km is 20kw.

20kw with 25% charging loss requires 25kw, and lets consider you are hitting more than 900kw per month without ev, so every kw to charge ev will cost you rm 0.571.

then charging 25w will cost u rm 14.275.

fuel per 100km for my almera is 8 to 9 liter. so if 8 liter will be rm 16.40.

little bit saving, but if u hit 1500kw probably no saving.

but also depend on what ICE u drive la.

i am using worse case for ev and best case for ICE for calculation. if u charge using first 300 unit u always save money.

tapi sudah pasang.. belanja lebih RM50K

See description in image

This one very kesian. Last time with solar pay around rm30+ only per month. Suddenly ICPT charges kena rm200+ per month

How to gain back ROI from installing 40k+ solar like this

if your solar is big enough to not needing to pull frm the grid
thn what are they charging u?

It's in the TNB bill first page. TS didnt post cos contain your name address etc. Basically bottom left got the "Baki NEM" and the tarikh luput.

Just installed solar for my house. My bill rm800+ reduce to rm40+

then find a better inverter la.
ideally it supposed to prioritize house usage first.

I'm not familiar with residential so I'm assuming is you're using electricity from your system when it's generating, importing from grid when there is a short for example at night

My place my neighbours mostly install 5kwp systems, corner got 11 la. So 5kwp multiply by 4 hours (tembak here could be higher) and 30 days gets you about 600kwh give or take

That's your buffer before hitting the ICPT. Like someone said charge during the day.

By right ICPT charges should be charged after contra.

T1 spotted. How the heck you use 1600

And two, how big your roof to fit in 1200kwh monthly solar kek

you obviously dont understand how solar works in malaysia

Don't sell back to TNB

Live off grid

No actually I don't. Won't mind if ppl enlighten me

But for normal household usage 1500 is pretty high already

Tesla Malaysia teased tesla powerwall,

that will be only solution to say f off to tnb monopoly
