Have to consider the solar investment rm40k++ ROI which was supposed to be in 5 years now dont know become how many years already.

Some more they only allow 10 years after that they won't pay back your excess energy. Have to spend more money to get battery storage

if u want the contra way, should have do solar properly to have battery storage and have your household electricity to draw from the solar generated electricity first and the only topup via TNB electricity. not "sell" the electricity to TNB.. trololo... just like currency exchange, customer selling to bank, always at a "lost"...

Yes. Exactly.

One of my solar friend avoided the extra surcharge because of solar.

yeah, no point install solar(connected to tnb grid) where the generated electricity > your average usage during the day, only waste of money coz the unit u sell also not really cover much in comparision with the tax and whats not.. better just save up the panel cost and install just enough.

logically, yes.

because it does not matter kWh by solar or by hydro or by coal.
you put into TNB 1kWh, and you take back 1kWh. nett zero.

If export 900 and use 1800, that nett use of only 900 from non-solar.
logically TNB should only be allowed to charge ICPT for that non-solar usage.
*
depend on what "logic" TNB use.. what they do is more like buying and selling of electricity... "selling" of electricity from solar user only occur when there are surplus of electricity during the day, if not, then no "selling" occur. when TNB "buy" your electricity, it is this rate. when u "buy" electricity from TNB is that rate, there's that. similar to currency. u sell to bank USD in the morning, then buy from bank USD in the night, will bank just "give back"(contra) the USD you sold earlier?

Lapiji said you can generate income by letting your roof become solar panel
*
what lapiji mention is renting out our roof space.. arguably that a better income than this "investment" shit coz you dun have to throw load of money for the installation, but rather just collect the rental fees.

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 doesnโ€™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.
*
yes, if it is used/install for the right conditions. if you dun use much electricity during the day, i would say better forget it. the export/selling part to TNB is not worth it.

Saw this in fb and point 5 really catches it.

And Sabah just announced a reduction in ICPT cost for usage above 1500kWh

buy 2 EV... rotate charge during the day, spend more to solve problem that does not exist in the first place.

Must be the fridge and coway machine then. Thats the only thing i know is running when everything else is switched off

most likely coway machine. fridge these day pretty efficient, especially if you dun open it much.. coway machine that keep water at/near boiling temperature on the other hand.. not so.

Then during the day you park the EV at home to charge.
Night time you park the EV at home to power your house.
Buy EV for this purpose? LOL ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
*
depend.. not all EV support bi directional charging. also if you do that, most likely not enough power to use the car when u need it. might as well spend half of the price and buy a big ass LiFePO battery for that kind of ussage.
