I have a tesla.

Previously I pay around 400 a month for petrol and 150 a month to TNB

I have installed a 7kw system for 23k with EPP of 4 years in last December and monthly installment is 480, still cheaper than my previous TNB bill and petrol combined

My TNB bill last month is RM3.

Will be free power after 4 years
*
Tesla 180k
Solar system. 23k.

Pre tesla and solar system 550 myr.
550 x 12 x 10 = 66000 myr.

Bank loan interest at the end of 9th year for the tesla 43,740.00
Solar system repair and maintenance after tenth year? Not sure how much.

Bro u sure u saved money?

Nope, what ever credit you get, need to spend it in the current year.
Tnb will not pay you cash one. The vendor told me, if end of the year got extra credit ask your friends and relatives come charge their cars in November.

I got a quote in Johor.

10.53kWp for rm35,580. Jinko panel, Solis inverter, 30yr linear power warranty, 12 solar panel warranty, 10 year inverter warranty, 10 year system structure warranty, 2 year workmanship warranty for leaks just in case it starts to leak.

Washing panels is rm800/visit.
Skylift renting price if needed is rm700.
Other troubleshooting for onsite service is rm200/visit.

Recommended by close association. So far good. But my Bod...says Roi is 5-6 years so do not want.

If my landed property has a big compound can I just put the solar panels there?

No, NEM Rakyat has a clause that says must be mounted on roof top!

1 guy already offering 9.5k before the 2k rebate for 2.3kW but am not going to share here because many of us feel he LCLY. 
2kW inverter average about +-200kW/month based on KV but north will be slightly better!

Why must be on the roof?

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.
*
Nobody is interested in solar in this state because the electric bill is cheap and the power is generated from bakun dam. I'm want to install solar but SEB and Seda not interested in propelling it

Only way is you off grid and connect it to your ev if you have one. BTW how much u spent in total?

Someone from kuching shared his experience that the handful of solar installers here in kuching have no business in doing residential solar project. Don't even know which inverter to buy.

Wait it out until west malaysia companies come to us. Fuck sarawak style and their slow ass adoption

Unfortunately my Solar journey ends here . Click the spoiler to see pictures.

As per whatsapp from the solar company engineering team, my roof structure cannot support the weight of the solar panels

"Kayu ni boleh pecah kalau kita drill, bila da masuk L + railing + panel , possibility utk kayu tu mengepak dan pecah tinggi tu".

This means im stuck with a rm700+ tnb bill every month from now on

700 bill.
That kind of roof means your house is heating up rapidly due to that kind of roof.

Suggestion
Look for quotes for roof renovation.

All the 3 AC's are already inverter but they are running night and day , not 24 hours but during the hotter time of the day. Ive looked into the daily stats, on days that there's no one at home, idle consumption is 6kWh daily, normal day usage is 35kWh, and on days when I charge the EV (once every 4 days), daily consumption is 70kWh
Probably need to look into it already. But don't know where to start and who to look for. Later need to do more research

First off looking at the pics it's metal roof with wood then ur ceiling. Any aluminum heat reflector underneath?

Also that metal roof sucks. Get tiles or if u can install a fan on ur roof.

If u also can, collect rain water in a huge drum and during hot weather use it to spray on top of ur roof to cool it

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

My suggestion is to give ur ev sometime and get an average of your usage.

Anything less than 300 totally not worth installing a solar system.

I don't know about ur Financials but having a loan for solar system after an EV loan is kinda too much

Avangelice... saw your old question in other tered about ev charging but didn't see any satisfying reply... tot i'd share my views here...

option 2 will be most flexible as a dedicated system... you connect power source (panels/tnb/or battery) to the inverter, and charge your ev through the inverter... you then configure supply priority, solar 1st then either tnb or battery for 2nd and 3rd priority... this way if solar power is not enough, it will supplement from tnb/battery... also when you can charge (day/night) is crucial

the remaining question is then balancing/optimizing the capacity/cost... if big might as well just go full nem... if too small then roi no good...
*
Hi thanks for the reply and yes this was the answer I was looking for. So you can configure in system to give priority what to charge via the solar generation. Very nice. Thank u

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. dry.gif  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. ohmy.gif

Hi John, fellow kuching Lang here. How's ur off grid system now?

Received 2 sets of new cells:

16 Batterotech 280ah
16 EVE LF280K v3 280ah (plus another 2 extra cells as spare)

Done installing these two sets in parallel during Gawai holiday.
So far, due to rainy and cloudy weather, I am unable to get those packs to reach 55.2V not even once.
My JKBMS integrated active balancers and external Neey/Enerkey 10A balancers don't even turned on at all.

It had been almost two weeks......
I have no idea on the SOC % now since it never reach the voltage that I consider the cell to be fully charged.
Awaiting another set:
16 EVE MB306 306ah
Will be using the extra two spare EVE LF280K cells to replace two problematic Sinopoly cells. Frankenstein time? Currently the problematic sinopoly cells are not connected into the parallel busbar circuit yet.

Would love to follow your progress on your diy solar system. U should start a fb group & who knows maybe make money creating off grid systems that are connected just to charge Evs in landed property?

Is this all done by you alone? Or u hired workers?
