the best explanation. tq

Its easier to generate more energy than to conserve energy.
Same like spending. Easier to make money than to save money.

Then you need to use battery to keep the energy generated from solar to use at night. Its more expensive and requires maintenance compared to the on-grid solar system that is linked to tnb meter.

I guess that is why people are complaining.
The solar generated goes to tnb during the day when people go to work, and then at night, homes draw electricity from tnb. But seems that tnb will charge ICPT for both tnb and solar energy. That don't seem fair.

But fact is driving EV charging is proved cheaper than petrol kan

just accept the honeymoon period is over.

i sometime waste electricity alot too, still far cry from 1500kwh

TNB buy power start from the highest tier, so 0.571 per kwh. TS issue is use too much so gov already said to impose extra charges on high usage. Even use EV also at most 250-300 kwh a month, assuming you travel 400km a week and use BYD Atto 3 average consumption 16kwh per 100km. TS bill usage way too high.

The problem is the 1500 usage limit should be NETT instead of gross.

So Usage should discount the solar generation baru apply the 1500kwh limit to be fair.

meaning they kira first, after that only deduct solar.

not deduct solar first baru kira.

edit: lol lucky never install solar, i wanted to, waifu told me jangan. moral of the story, listen to waifu.

If only can request separate meter and not linked to main house energy usage for charging purposes alone

simple terms is :

ICPT charges based on what total kwh u use, without deducting the kwh you export (from solar) before final calculation


correct?

The point is to reduce bill but not to let you use more electricity.

Most of this people having this problem are installing huge installations to generate excess power during the day to offset their high usage during the night. In effect, they are not reducing their electricity consumption but increasing it instead.

That's why they get hit by this icpt.

wah. So does this means that technically we're in the wrong if we buy for example the small solar light at shopee/lazada? because the generated power by the solar is standalone and connected only to the light and not tnb?

Its not mine, its other people one. Mine i still leech free electricity outside to charge my car whenever possible

Madani...

Take a look at the bill
Isnt that current TNB solar got import and export
you can't solely depend your solar without grid unless you have somekind of power wall box?

Time to BBBUUU tnb stock

the real way of doing solar is not sending your generated solar to TNB but store it in your battery like i saw many people do
even mah bayu themselves is doing it this way
basically minimize your need to pull from the grid
u generally use what u generated

Small appliances still fine, but u cannot totally go offgrid

night time grid dont use solar energy, is it fair.

TNB charge ICPT RM0.10/kWh based on total import, not nett total.

Use a system that has a battery
