Which post says battery with solar is illegal? In fact many DIY go for this option because the profit by vendors from NEM can be used to buy a battery size of 48V 100Ah.

i wanna ask you ah.. why vendors profit so much for each component? or issit they added in profit into the components for setting up the system?

Probably because low demand?
If every solar installation comes with battery I believe it will be much cheaper. Look at those 48v 50ah rack mounted baattery price in taobao.

i think its something else. previously installers need certification to tie into grid, so they import and markup on the components they specify. if use as off grid.. then you can just import your own from anywhere..of coz if the electronics kaput, your own loss.

Well, I do have my own part of blown off electronics on my DIY solar.  blush.gif

Actually some brand like growatt has their own grid tie inveters that can charge to battery. Only when battery is full then it will export back to grid.
This brand already have their own brand battery, should not be too hard to install it.

I wonder those grid-tie inveter TNB uses got growatt brand?

if u look at those fb ads promote install solar at home for 20k or 25k , usually very vague at specifying what components they use to build the 5kwp solar, the inverter etc.. biggrin.gif
maybe need to generate official quotation only they will give break down.

They will be liable like how an engineer/architect sign off your plans if something goes wrong! DIY'ers have to bare your own consequnces on warranties etc. So not for the faint hearted.

But no logic profit diff is nearly half.. if architect sign off on 1mil house.to build..his profit 400k meh😅

Tnb just flat out charge additional 10 cents/kWh for the total energy usage instead of just anything above the 1500kWh use

so its simple. if use >1500kwh of grid power then kena charge lo.

if u got solar and u export it, they pay u for what u export.

maybe daytime export solar. (everyone go to work, fridge/internet/cctv , background devices running only, solar panels produce more than u use, net positive send back to tnb grid, so they pay based on agreed rate)

night time their house suck tnb grid power like crazy. (charge 2 ev and 4 aircons etc) end up using over 1500kwh of grid power. so kena penalty!
