QUOTE(virtualgay @ Jul 23 2025, 08:51 AM) Is it true that not all inverter can just simply hook up battery to it? So after 10 years I need to change my current string inverter before I can install battery? string inverters almost guarantee can hook up battery... unless customized without battery/charging function...I really thought is like plug and play saja macam power bank. silly me |

QUOTE(stevenlee @ Jul 23 2025, 09:36 AM) last time i checked, string can install directly without converter but micro need a converter.. not all ev... must have vtl function... and vtl rate is very limited...both still need professional to help you install. if you hv EV car, then you can save battery money by using EV car as battery.. there is a converter for this purpose |

QUOTE(yeapsc73 @ Jul 23 2025, 10:03 AM) not all string, must be hybrid string then only can hookup with DC coupling battery must check spec... a lot of companies dun use hybrid in their product range/name but are battery ready...normal string and micro need to use AC coupling battery QUOTE(stevenlee @ Jul 23 2025, 10:04 AM) np... a lot of generalize info... in principle can work, but actually tak boleh pakai one... hahaha... |

QUOTE(skywardsword @ Aug 3 2025, 01:14 PM) Tnb probably realized, just like Australia's case. actually opposite is the case...Solar adoption can make them lose money big time, if it is over their peak generation peak consumption limits. Since the generation plant running fuel, have a peak efficiency that it runs at, they always try to run at peak efficiency. Hence, they roll out time of use, cap the NEM, and make it flat 1:1, plus additional charges. Overall, we need them to be on the game...or the cascade will be equally spectacular. Further if Tnb is reading here, pls adopt Wind generation farms. When raining wind still can generate. Or get the residential to adopt Wind generation. I like those tube like wind generation, looks great! without solar, easy for tnb to optimize peak running condition... with solar very hard... your cloud move here and there tnb needs to ramp up and down to meet demand... our wind lagi teruk... dickybird and lurkingaround liked this post

QUOTE(netflix2019 @ Aug 19 2025, 02:56 PM) interestingly the "seal" is known to degrade with time. faster if exposed to environment. string has a fan... also more components crammed together... so its quite reasonable...I am still very surprised to hear about studies showing microinverter can last longer than string. Logically quite impossible. |

QUOTE(MGM @ Sep 3 2025, 04:03 PM) QUOTE(skywardsword @ Sep 4 2025, 10:50 PM) If we need to get a breather.... would it make sense to calculate the cost of 1kWh battery to be about RM1000? Since eg.. a BYD car with 70kWh cost about RM123k --- battery take up RM70k, and the rest of the car cost RM53k? i think its impractical to use ev as main bess...or the battery is even cheaper than RM1000. if that is the case, a 20kWh Home energy storage system should cost around RM23k?+ installation or RM2k = RM25k. Assuming the thing last like manufacturer claim 5000 cycle. /30days= 166 months. Each month the cost of the battery is RM25,000/166 = RM150. And even than, would that enable us to selco or reduce import of only 540 kWh (18 kwh *30days) and for 540kWh * RM0.70 (worst case scenario we have to buy from grid) = RM378 per month. so does it make sense to pay RM150 ++ per month for battery + solar generation cost? or pay RM378 per month to grid. Cost for my solar gen 16kWp = RM42,000. For it to run 5 years without any hiccup. It produces avg 50kWh per day. 1500kWh per month. X 60 months = 90,000kWh. RM42,000/90,000kWh = RM0.46/kWh. What the hell.... does not really make sense to have both Solar + battery system at all. Do I have it right? most v2l supply is 3kw... minority at 3.6kw... our major load is aircon, an inductive load... rule of thumb is starting power required is 3x running power... this means it can only run 1kw/1.5hp aircon and fan... enough for single/couple+baby, not enough for a growing/big family... |

QUOTE(adamw @ Sep 23 2025, 01:49 PM) If what they proposed is correct, buy HIGH sell LOW. ROI almost double that of NEM. Might as well go SELCO with battery for those that can afford it, faster ROI but upfront cost higher. thanks... maybe have to wait a bit for official roll out and any new gov incentive... |
