I actually picked Emit Solar because they are the only one AFAIK that don't have upfront payment. There was one other solar company that I consulted before, but I backed off because they need upfront payment or they want us to do EPP scheme. I have nothing against EPP just that it will eat up my CC limit which we might need in times of emergency.

Actually after installation I found out that Emit Solar is an intermediary, the actual installation is done by another solar company. However, I am fine with that because Emit Solar assumes the risk, support and warranty for the whole installation.

What happens after 10 years is actually for us to decide. I am quite happy that they used Huawei inverter with 10 years warranty. Imagine if they skimped on this and opted for an inverter that can last 5-6 years. Now that I think about it, they opted for this for a good reason as well. If everything goes as planned most likely we just need to replace the inverter and it's good for another 10 years, solar panels theoretically could last 30 years. One other factor to consider is what happens to our NEM contract after 10 years? Can we renew and sell back to grid after? Only time will tell.

Everyone can say they can get cheaper but the quality of the solar panels and inverter is another factor that you need to consider as well.

Final thoughts: Solar installation is NPV positive from Day 1. You also get to lock a portion of your energy cost from the fluctuations in the energy prices of TNB. If you opted with Emit Solar you are actually making infinite return since your savings that you get divide by 0 = infinity

I actually opted to take their offer.

9.28 kWp for monthly payment of RM 372 for 10 years. No upfront cost, they throw in first 3 months free. On top of that I got RM4k rebate from Solaris.

System was installed early July.

My TNB bill went down from RM 600-700 to RM 50 for July bill. August TNB bill is on track to have same or lower amount.

Considering that this setup would cost 30k, I think its worth it, they can take their profits over 10 years 

recently get quotation for 6.05kWp solar panel for RM12,200 after incentives, and another RM1000 discount. Nett is RM11,200.

Machiam reasonable.

Actually dtu will get back the previous data thst is not transmitted. 

So let’s say if u off ur dtu, ur system should work and then once the dtu connects to the inverter, it will sync back the lost data.

Here's mine!

I am on 9.68kWp (16×605W Trina bifacial) with micro inverter (4×Hoymiles HMS-2000-4T) for rm27k. Still waiting NEM approval.

Before...

Maybe got glitch, now goes back up!

Should be anytime soon. Too many applications since end of Aug to now, there are bound to be delays. But I think the delays by some installers will be even worse coz they take on too many clients but don't know whether can meet the 3 months deadline or not.

I think there is a fine and jail term for feeding power into the grid without approval. Are you feeling lucky?

NEM approval?

Hi, yes that happens when the Hoymiles micro inverter's temperature goes beyond 86C and the micro inverter throttles performance by means of cutting back down on output power. Happened to mine often. You can view the micro inverter temperature from the website below, just login as usual. I've reached out to Pathgreen on this many times, but they're just silent on this, never acknowledging this issue. On our end, I'm not sure what can be done to improve the heat dissipation of the micro inverter unit.

This could be several reasons. The most common reason is thst the inverter lost communication with the DTU at that time. But do check on the voltage. It could be overvoltage and need a grid profile.

Do check on the total yield of the day and see if it differ much from other panels from other inverters. As your reading is back to normal after that, inverter failure may not be the reason.

should be about similar i think.

Anyway, for microinvertor like my house HMS2000, there will be clipping at 536.8W, so u have 1000W panel also no use

Not too sure about string invertor



Edit: 1000W not no use still can generate more power than 600W panel during morning and evening, but will have heavy clipping during noon time so not efficient.

7.2kwp. it is cloudy lah my inverter is working fine

Hi all,

Just wanted to share my setup which was activated just last week. I've also been corresponding with bee88 who has been very helpful throughout the process.

System capacity - 4 panels 490W, 4 panels 575W = 4260W.
Microinverter setup - 4 panels to 1 inverter @ 2kWac each

Timeline:
16 May - engaged solar installer to do site survey and take measurements
24 June - received final proposal and rendering of panels on roof (took awhile as my roof is quite small and have to also work around solar water heater and water tank)
10 July - solar company applied for NEM 3.0 through SEDA website
1 Aug - SEDA approval received (had a small clarification from SEDA after 1st week of submission)
9 Sep - installation of panels and inverters on roof completed within 1 day (took awhile to get solar installer to do this as they have limited manpower)
1 Oct - received Welcome Letter from TNB
3 Oct - engineer from solar company came to set up system and monitoring app
6 Oct - received Solaris rebate form from TNB (eligible for RM4k), currently waiting for rebate

Overall, very happy with the whole process even though the waiting time was a bit long. System has been performing very well so far, even though it has been mostly cloudy past few days. Monitoring app also works as expected. Microinverter setup allows for monitoring of individual panel performance and even has a "time-lapse" mode. Web portal also allows for data extraction in XLSX format for offline data analysis, which will be useful later.

Standard warranty for all components i.e. 3 years for workmanship, 10 years for inverters, 25 years for panel performance.

If anyone has any other detailed questions, feel free to PM me.

Cheap… can share the contact?

My solar is 7.2kw too. Switched on from 21 sept till now. So far higher day yield  is 37.4kw and lower day is 11.5kw. In month of sept from 21/9 to 30/9 is 274kw. Yields from  1/10 to 23/10 is 658kw.

Mine too , 7.26kW system, hoymiles micro inverter, max output was peak out at 6.11kW, max total on a single day was about 38.01kw - 5.5 sun hours..  I wonder what's the max peak output for hoymiles inverter, anyone ?

pls see a post above this.. Clipping, is this something normal ?

how the progress so far? still having the same issue?

I think it is limited by the inverter coz inverter max only 2,000w. So 605w x 4 = 2420w is definitely not achievable.
