Anyone tried installing solar panel on awning? Or better still, use solar panel as awning? I've plans to install awning at my parents' driveway, so thinking if its possible to do so. The driveway also gets unblock sunlight throughout the day.
*
My uncle did. The solar company suggested it to him cos his roof a lot of weird angles and at the same time he memang plan to install awning.

His only complain so far is it's collecting a lot more dust because of the angle issue. He installed it flat. if conventional roof top it will be sloped so when it rains it will wash away some of the dust and also less water stain.

Morning the extra solar will send bck the grip and offset my nite usage?
I dunno how the calculation work maybe can u explain how offset work ? Becoz i tot nite cant use solar then will use bck electric supply from tnb so bill still the same
*
To sinplify things.

U have two meter. One for energy consumed. One for solar generated energy.

(Energy consumed) - (energy generated) = nett difference.

If u generated more than u consumed. The extra will carry forward to next month and so forth. But it will be reset beginning of each year (31st December) .

besides the electricity generation portion, how about the heat underneath the rooms in the topmost floor? does it become cooler due to the panel absorbing most of the heat?
*
Unfortunately no. One of the main reason i choose to go solar, i thought those panels can serve as double roof to insulate the house further. Somehow it doesnt work that way. Maybe cos the panels are too close to the roof, lack of air movement underneath. Probably required to prevent strong wind from flipping them.

I don't even want to bother with SEDA and my local SESCO anymore.
Straight opt for self-consumption with battery.

Previously, I secured all the necessary materials for the NEM, but unable to find NEM qualified installer/contractor to get NEM application done.
Thus zero-export grid tie.
[attachmentid=11494206]

-.- Since nobody at home from morning to evening*, the saving is really minimal in zero export mode.....

K then, time for battery storage :

[attachmentid=11494207]

[attachmentid=11494208]

The only problem is my battery capacity is too small for my solar panel capacity of 4200watts.
51.2V 200Ah.

Currently securing purchase of 16 cells of EVE LF280K and 16 cells of Batterotech BT280......
Gonna parallel all 3 packs for total storage of 38kWh.
*
Please update us after installation. Best if got picture of the battery storage room and the outcome. pros and cons.

Current installation is very messy.  sad.gif
Don't get me started with leaky roof and requires sealant etc....Not to mention buying non polarised breaker for the battery connection to the off-grid-inverter.

I gonna wait for my EVE and BT cells to arrive first before making any changes to current installation.  smile.gif
Should arrive in April or May if I am not being scammed? sweat.gif

woah. sounds like nightmare. maybe can chronicle from start to finish. You do self installation?

Wow... read the first 3 pages of the thread...

The amount of clueless ppl who is biased against solar due to misinformation is staggering....

My housing area, we did a group buy 2yrs ago... none of the 20+ ppl who joined regretted. Infact now the rest of the neighbours are trying to organise another group buy...
*
lol yeah. if u didnt know better really sounded damn convincing the way they so confident with the bullshit they said. I kind of envy why ppl can be so clueless yet so full of confident.

Actually, the easiest is to get the import - export. If the value is positive, calculate the bill based on the lowest tariff and goes all the way up

for example, import is 990
export is 700

so you need to pay 290 units

200 units at 21.8 cent
and 90 units at 33.4 cent

and some taxs and misc charges like kwtbb
*
Actually i still tak faham what's the other way of calculation that give us more advantage? I remember there was a tered that said TNB screwed us over with the way they calculate that tip the scale on their favor.

Since many have experience with solar here, i would like to ask.

i've heard some feedback from few different solar provider/installer on their home. Feedback received is the power generated from solar, differs from the power received in TNB based on the power written on the electricity bills. Is this normal?

Example: Generate 600kWh seen in the app, but in TNB bill only show received 300-400kWh?
*
Yes normal. Because some of the energy generated get consumed before feeding the excess back into the grid.

Good to know, i didn't know it worked that way without any battery storage. The electricity generated will be used throught DB before being sent back to TNB.
Will it accumulate? I thought those excess will be "earned" by TNB and not accumulated for consumer?
*
You will be provided with two meter.

One to track how much u gave back to TNB

One to track ur consumptiom

End of the month they calculate nett usage.
- If u gave back more than u use, they will be credited into your TNB account to roll forward next month. But this amount get reset every year 31st december.
- if u use more than u give. Then u pay the excess that u use just like before.

aha, so we're not bound by the max 10kWp stated by government? LOL. Would it be illegal to install more?

My contractor hinted they can install more panel if i want. I didnt ask for specifics because i dont need it... yet. Lol

off topic sikit

which aircond u using? got solar installed still use inverter? or non-inverter cukup d?
*
all non-inverter. Daikin 1.5hp, mitusbishi mrslim 2hp, panasonic 1.5hp and 2hp.

Daikin and panasonic give me least problem.

Mitsubishi most lapsap because stupid remote control hard to set timer. They only have the option to "off after x hour". 2018 product, no internal clock. lol. Also many parts rosak within this period. circuit board, sensor, pipe burst. Highly not recommend.

Hi guys, I am planning to get my home to equip with solar panel, it is around RM300 per month and my house is 3phases power. I wanted to have installment plan, I saw there are some subscription based solar provider, are they good? Or I should go with those installment one
*
iianm subscription one they take a certain % cut from the energy generated. That's their profit margin. No free lunch in this world.

use multiple credit card.. ask the installer company

I know TNB SparkX got that instalment thingy.. SOLS also got.. and now the new Solar Boleh program.. but... they already factored in the % cost...and it seems higher than credit card 0% instalment

Yesterday the installer company technician came with drone... took footage and photos of my roof.. also discussed where to put my inverter and explained how they will run the cabling.. now waiting for them to send me proposal of how it'll be installed.
*
where u put ur inverter?

My huawei inverter got this mosquito sound quite annoying especially when the house is silent.

Front of house, hmm, actually can also place behind my house. Is the sound audible if you close all windows/doors?

Definitely not if separated.

I placed mine in the storeroom underneath stairs. The door is the type like roman curtain. So its audible if i am within 2 meters. I extra sensitive to that kind of noise.
