Hi everyone, I plan to install solar system too. My house is single phase, average bill around RM500/month. Been reading this thread and would like to know main advantages of three phase over single phase inverter.

Is it worth upgrading to three phase for long run or just stick with single phase.

Appreciate it guys for sharing. Many thanks 🙏

Unless you intend to add more aircons, 5kWac is sufficient, since just need to lower your tnb bill so that you won't kena the 8%.

Better for you to list out the no of panels/inverter model & nett price so forummers can advised based on that.

hi guys... thinking of small 1kwp (500-600w panelx2) diy for ev charging... which one you prefer?

1. panels --> charge controller --> inverter --> charger/car
2. panels --> hybrid inverter --> charger/car
3. panels --> micro inverter --> charger/car
4. panels --> power station --> charger/car

will 1 and 2 work without battery? otherwise may need a small battery to trick the system... sorry for noob question, got no solar experience

estimated cost 2.5-3k... roi 1.5-2 yrs

car sits at home in the day, plenty of daylight hours...

Update us on this, if it's so simple & cheap, I think you should patent this & Elon will be knocking at your door brows.gif

??? these are the basics for solar pv right?

what is your estimate i should use for 2 panels and 1 inverter for ~1kw system?

Currently your EV charger is what specification?

the granny brick is rated 2.3kw... usually i think it charges lower around 1.8kw (my main wallbox is 7kw but i set it up for 5kw to reduce cable loss)

originally i was thinking a 1kwp grid tie or off grid for a 1hp aircon for day use... then i was thinking maybe i can use it to slow charge the ev... the ev can limit charging power but i can't remember how low it can go... I'll have to do some more testing to finalize kwp... grid tie will be easiest to supplement ac power...

my usual tnb bill is 250...ev adds 150... so a small system for the ev that i can diy i think will be more cost effective than going 5-7kwp nem for the whole house...

anyways... thank you for taking an interest... smile.gif

That's why I asked you your about your original charger details. Your 1kW off grid cannot power it unless you mod it which is a big qustion mark! hmm.gif Or maybe some crazy mat salleh already managed to do it? brows.gif

This is what i saw on some other house in my neighbourhood. But the solar company i asked about this and they refuse to recommend this method. Dont know why, they just said it wont work..

Looking at the conditions of your roof truss/zinc sheet I think they don't want to take the risk. If you DIY can always used those frameless type solar panels with a cheap hybrid inverter+48v100Ah battery & used it off grid.

I got a quotation from a contractor, estimated roi 2.7 years..seems like a good ROI

Please share more details so we can see how they managed to give you a 2.7 years ROI.

Guys, advice please..
My electricity bill around 80 but I just got an ev so expect to reach 230-250..
1. 15 yr old Double storey terrace house in Melaka East West orientation with 3 phase
2. Saw an advert for 3.92kWp for less than 13k with 60 months instalment... Is this suitable for me or can recommend anything else..
3. Need to wait for how many months bill before can apply? Last month bill 200
Not looking at ROI.. The way I look at it, if 15k over 60 months is 250 per month which is almost what I have to pay to tnb... No more guilty about switching on aircon in daytime..
Thanks

No need wait for increased tnb bill, just write a cover letter would do. Sometimes no need letter also will be approved brows.gif

It doesn’t work this way.

Wha you are calculating is dc. So u will need a dc gun.  For charging.

Meanwhile , the usual gun we have at home it ac.  So u can’t purely use solar to charge.

Hahaha.

I hv not much detail too

Paying installment of rm1700 for 3yrs. 0%
Enjoying government scheme rm4k.

Monthly tnb bill rebate capacity is rm1100.

Which means indirectly im paying just rm600 for the solar system cause now my monthly bill also around rm1k.

On 3rd year onwards , my electricity is basically free. Thats if i utilise less than rm1100
Yepp.

I think you better study the plan carefully because you will be paying a total of rm61.2k without knowing what you are getting! brows.gif

Macam tiada 3 phase micro inverter.

No need get biracial if you gonna put on roof, the other side basically shaded. Just get the mono facial enough. Bifacial also more fragile cuz both side also glass panel.

Better to have string inverter on single side. Next time you can upgrade inverter with battery storage option when your nem contract habis

Hmm... I'm not sure if it is a build in function for the inverter because for Malaysia NEM, the inverter is place after the distribution board that connect to the meter. So the switching will be at the distribution board, not on the inverter. If the switching function is on the inverter, then it need to be place between meter and distribution board.

Yup, but anyway, as you mention not that it cannot be done, but it certainly not a DIY solution or general electrician work scope.
It need to be carefully calculated on the max and min load and also switching time.

Basically you measure the power of your house load and determine if there is a need to switch supplement from TNB feed. The cost of implementing this totally defeat the purpose of cost savings.

Wrong, not rocket science to prevent export provided that the inverter manaufacturer have this options. For my microinverter I just used a wifi meter unit clamp to the incoming L load & it will communicate with my inverter to give the exact wattage needed. Attached is an example but due to the weather in my place currently the generated power cannot cover my consumption now. If it's any brighter, it should show zero instead of -114w
