QUOTE(nikrizal @ May 20 2024, 09:54 PM) 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. 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%.Is it worth upgrading to three phase for long run or just stick with single phase. Appreciate it guys for sharing. Many thanks 🙏 |

QUOTE(dwRK @ May 24 2024, 12:29 PM) hi guys... thinking of small 1kwp (500-600w panelx2) diy for ev charging... which one you prefer? Update us on this, if it's so simple & cheap, I think you should patent this & Elon will be knocking at your door 1. panels --> charge controller --> inverter --> charger/car 2. panels --> hybrid inverter --> charger/car 3. panels --> micro inverter --> 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... |

QUOTE(dwRK @ May 25 2024, 12:09 AM) 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) 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! 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... |

QUOTE(Boy96 @ May 25 2024, 11:12 AM) 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.QUOTE(grimjow @ May 25 2024, 10:55 AM) Please share more details so we can see how they managed to give you a 2.7 years ROI.This post has been edited by adamw: May 25 2024, 11:32 AM |

QUOTE(judesh @ May 29 2024, 06:38 AM) Guys, advice please.. No need wait for increased tnb bill, just write a cover letter would do. Sometimes no need letter also will be approved 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 |

QUOTE(bee88 @ Jun 4 2024, 01:08 PM) It doesn’t work this way. buy this 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. DC to DC |

QUOTE(kahjye @ Jun 8 2024, 11:24 PM) Hahaha. I think you better study the plan carefully because you will be paying a total of rm61.2k without knowing what you are getting! 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. |

QUOTE(kaizoku30 @ Jun 10 2024, 05:31 PM) Macam tiada 3 phase micro inverter. Hoymiles HMT Series (Three Phase)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 Hoymiles |

QUOTE(cdspins @ Jun 13 2024, 11:54 AM) 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. 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 -114wYup, 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.
