QUOTE(Keng @ Mar 6 2024, 10:21 AM) 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. |

QUOTE(prdkancil @ Mar 28 2024, 04:41 PM) Morning the extra solar will send bck the grip and offset my nite usage? To sinplify things. 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 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) . Ivan113 liked this post

QUOTE(spamfish @ Mar 31 2024, 02:42 PM) 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. |

QUOTE(JohnLai @ Apr 1 2024, 03:10 PM) I don't even want to bother with SEDA and my local SESCO anymore. Please update us after installation. Best if got picture of the battery storage room and the outcome. pros and cons.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. |

QUOTE(JohnLai @ Apr 1 2024, 03:46 PM) Current installation is very messy. woah. sounds like nightmare. maybe can chronicle from start to finish. You do self installation?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. Should arrive in April or May if I am not being scammed? |

I kind of envy why ppl can be so clueless yet so full of confident.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... |

QUOTE(bee88 @ Apr 3 2024, 07:46 AM) 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 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.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 |

QUOTE(derict @ Apr 14 2024, 10:26 PM) Since many have experience with solar here, i would like to ask. Yes normal. Because some of the energy generated get consumed before feeding the excess back into the grid.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? |

QUOTE(derict @ Apr 15 2024, 11:18 AM) 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. You will be provided with two meter. Will it accumulate? I thought those excess will be "earned" by TNB and not accumulated for consumer? 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. |

QUOTE(Marcus Cody @ May 9 2024, 02:17 AM) 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. |

QUOTE(Jason @ May 9 2024, 04:37 PM) use multiple credit card.. ask the installer company where u put ur inverter? 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. My huawei inverter got this mosquito sound quite annoying especially when the house is silent. |

QUOTE(Jason @ May 9 2024, 06:00 PM) 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. |
