No NEM contractor in Sarawak except 1 company in Kuching which not interested in providing service.
Cause I already purchased all the certified solar panels + inverters + breakers + rails + wires etc, all contractor need to do is install it and certify it.
Takde untung banyak, mereka tak nak. They actually want to sell me their expensive package.

Problematic Sinopoly cells, had to replace 2 cells before getting all 16 cells stable.

Cost? Wasted RM3000 for grid-tie-inverter Growatt 4200TL-X which in storage room now.

Did you need to get any approval from TNB / authorities for your solar + battery setup?

Roof = hired electrician contractor to install panels, they farked up my roof so hard that I had to take off the roof zinc metal sheet and railing.
At the end, I had to buy new zinc roof and perform the solar panel installation at my rooftop on my own and the result is WAY BETTER than so called qualified electrical contractor workers.

The electrical contractor simply sent 2 workers to install the panel at my rooftop.

I can confirm 100% these workers didn't have the knowledge on how to install the panel or even having electrical knowledge, don't get me started with how they left the wires exposed and hanging.
They don't even have the proper tool to tighten the bolt/nuts. Ever heard of torque wrench? They simply use normal spannar to torque down the bolt until the solar panel metal got bend. Farker.
They connected the MC4 connectors to the solar panels in broad daylight and left the "LIVE" wire hanging down, luckily there was no short circuit happening. The panel voltage is more than 200v in series.

End up terminating contract with this certified electrical contractor. They didn't ask money from me after I show off the damage to my panel and how the live wire was left hanging.

Only approval from local authority on the rooftop installation part. Had to find another electrical contractor to sign it off which I got.

It is off-grid-inverter, no need for SESCO permission. Plus https://www.sarawakenergy.com/electricity-a...enewable-energy

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...

recently announced rm1k rebate for each 1kwp solat NEM 3.0 applied and installed...from 1 April 2024 till 31 Mac 2025..

anybody got any concrete / promo info from solar provider...

if let say 4kwp system, rm18k..if rebate 4k = RM14k only..not bad..

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.

complain to SESB, like if it matters. as long as recorded. lulz

Eh. Sarawak where got nem. It’s only for Tnb account holder.

My local SESCO branch here when I asked = Saya semua tak tahu Sound familiar?

Remember, the official response is, "Tak ada benda ini".
Funny considering their website has NEM with full details just fine. I got scammed by SESCO, that all.

escalate to ministry. suruhanjaya tenaga dun cover swk.

Fyi, beware of low-quality Chinese solar PV panels, .......

That's why I only buy tier 1 brand which QR code can be scanned to show it's Grade A.

Hi sifus. Read all 40 pages of the thread and now considering to install solar at my place. Appreciate if any sifus can PM me on where to start? Engaged some company already and awaiting their reply. My tnb bills average 500-600+ every month. Also I’m not sure my house is using 1 phase or 3 phase system. Thank you in advance.

Seda nem is only for Tnb. For ur nem for Sarawak , it’s under the company own initiative if not mistaken.

Look at your MCB, if got 3 is 3 phase! Where is your location? You can also search SEDA website for RPVSP near you to get some obligation free quotes for a start!
