Geez what a journey. If you see so many gaps between dates, its just my SA blue ticking my whatsapp.

Now just waiting for Solaris rebate email



Btw my roof is almost flat and maybe just 2° angle at max, not sure how its going to effect solar production. Luckily no trees high enough nor any tall buildings nearby

Solar panels spec

Panel - ASTRONERGY AS635Wp

Inverters - SAJ M2-2.2K-S4

Why not make it half yearly instead of all this quarterly extension

I think its a 24 months 0% epp. So rm27k - deposit and divide 24 month

hi. I heard they say jinko panels and huawei inverters are the best?
Anyone has any input on if they are efficient
Quoted around 16-18k

existing no cover by solar insurance ?
home fire insurance is another insurance cover?
6xxkw per months production  ..what's your package size ?
thanks ...

8.54kwp, 8kwac string

No sure why option 2 is there. Usually common practice will not have an inverter larger than panel. Probably there have too many units of it.
If it is for me, I will just choose the cheapest which is option 1. Cause no matter what brand of inverter, the warranty is the same, the efficiency is also about the same. so the cheapest will allow the fastest ROI.

actually depends on you lor... say in future you buy ev or add sauna and jacuzzi or retire and whole day aircon... then option 2 very easy to add a few more panels to expand... otherwise no point...

who are the vendors?

In this particular case, it makes sense to go for the higher kwp because the extra 2.2 kwp is just RM3k. I would say the quote for the 5kwp system is on the high side at 4k per kwp hence the longer roi.

4.92kwp 8panels , 2 micro inverter
7.38kwp 12panels,3micro inverter

diff 6k for extra 4panels + 1micro inverter

BTW ,your average tnb bill how much?

NEM Rakyat SOLAR 3.0
NET is Nett like net weight meaning 100% discount like Shopee voucher limited capped at your Solar Panel system size kWp DC and kW AC inverter size
This is depends on
A.Rooftop size
B.Single phase 3 wire 1 Fuse max 11 ~ 12 panels depends on watts 5xx ~ 6xx
3 phase 5 wire 3 Fuse max 27~ 28 panels is the same as above
1 to 1 ratio is hard to understand
1.Daytime sunny day allowed to self consumption SELCO
Solar energy directly go to electricity appliances without TNB = not buying electric from TNB less dependent on grid lower the load = save money also avoiding ICPT 1501 kWh = RM150.10
2. If there are holidays no one at home 90% ++ go to TNB grid and nighttime not buying from TNB so the rollover mechanism will be carried forward to next month within the same year every year cut-off day is the same which is 31 December similar to annual leave. 12 months starting count from January
3. If someone at home the longer hours daytime usage percentages of kWh is higher saving but must control usage within the Solar kWp system size, if over also need to buy from TNB
4. If possible avoid using high power devices during nighttime eg EV charging, laundry dryer l, ironing etc because Solar only offset the electric kWh change not the tax KWTBB ICPT ST

in reality when solar panel go into grid, no people can different the current is from solar or other power generation.

when we send solar power to TNB, TMB will record it as green energy,

when they sell energy to commercial, they can sell higher price from the recorded green energy from us.

something like green energy certificate.

so company don't generate any green energy, but buying green energy certificate to proof they using green energy.

Lower capacity. Mine 14 vs his 10

Still got rebate campaign offered by the company. If got solaris 4k rebate the ROI can reduce even further to 3 years. Damn good deal dunno why ppl hesitate so much.

Hi All, since Solaris rebate is out, any good promo that currently available?
I got a quotation from PG 7.44kwp 23K cash. Is this same price before when Solaris rebate is still there? Just want to know as they advertise this as with 4K discount (normal price for this is 27K)
