had my home solar commissioned in Dec2023 so last month was the first full month generation and usage, summary as below:-

1) System Capacity - 7.2kWp, micro-invertor
2) Cost - RM23k, on 48 months EPP
3) Generation in Jan 2024 - 714kWh
4) Export to TNB in Jab 2024 - 525kWh
5) Own consumption of solar energy - 714 - 525 = 189kWh
6) Import from TNB - 557kWh
7) Total energy usage - 557 + 189 = 746kWh
8) TNB bill if no solar - approx RM315
9) TNB bill with solar - RM3
10) Saving - RM312/month
11) ROI - Around 6 years (23000/312*12)

For my consumption, actually a 5kwp system is sufficient. But i was quoted about 20k for that so for a little bid more, i opt for a 7kwp system. This give me flexibility to add another EV for the family in the near future.
*
Generated-714kWh VS Usage-746kWh, where got allowance for another EV? Shouldn't u opt for higher kwp?

if you pay cash that good
if you pay CC (based on TNB website up to 36 months )
u need to pay rm1284 per month for solar installation & equipment installment 
but after 36 month you will happy pay around rm40 to 70/month for electric 
mostly Malaysia people can not afford to pay 1k++ for now.
but in k i sure can affrod one la all k salary 20k permonth  icon_idea.gif 

but if got loan bank up to 10 years,
i believe many people will install solar panel

1284x36=46224.
What solar system do u get for this, price & kwh? Or got link?

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?

You should compare using same time frame(for loan) and same car price(EV&ICE). Compare monthly payment of EV+Solar with ICE+Petrol+Electricity.
Currently ICE still has an upperhand in MY cos our petrol & electricity r still cheap but they r going up. More feasible for countries like Thailand & OZ where the petrol & electricity r more than double.
A friend told me a more worrying factor of EV is electro-magnetic field on occupants.

To sinplify things.

U have two meter. One for energy consumed. One for solar generated energy.

(Energy consumed) - (energy generated) = nett difference.

If u generated more than u consumed. The extra will carry forward to next month and so forth. But it will be reset beginning of each year (31st December) .
*
So if u r away for the last 3 months of the year, all energy generated will be wasted?

All excess energy will be exported to grid which will be recorded in ur tnb bill, must use within 1 yr
Tnb wont give cash money  for the energy, only recorded as a credit. After 1 yr, credit back to zero.

So Dec2024 excess energy credit will expire only in 31Dec2025, not 1Jan2025? Credit is treated monthly?

Thanks again, if my monthly usage is 700kWh, n I plan to have a EV in 5 years time that requires another 600kWh, should I get one now with 700kWh and expand it 5 years later, or straight away go for 1300kWh one?

No more selling back. Only accumulate as extra kWh for 1 year period.

Shouldn't it be "accumulate as extra kWh til end of the current year"?

off topic sikit

which aircond u using? got solar installed still use inverter? or non-inverter cukup d?

all non-inverter. Daikin 1.5hp, mitusbishi mrslim 2hp, panasonic 1.5hp and 2hp.

Daikin and panasonic give me least problem.

Mitsubishi most lapsap because stupid remote control hard to set timer. They only have the option to "off after x hour". 2018 product, no internal clock. lol. Also many parts rosak within this period. circuit board, sensor, pipe burst. Highly not recommend.

So it is advisable to use non-invertor appliances cos they r cheaper and not as "fragile" (control board prone to lightning strike n replacement cost is high) and spend a bit more on higher capacity solar panels.

Another installer quoted me Solis 3P6K, has integrated AFCI but needs activation, whatever that means. Huawei I know confirm it is there. Between Solis vs Huawei, I prefer Huawei simply because it is a more expensive hybrid inverter versus Solis..so for the same price or less, why choose the cheaper Solis? The company that quoted Solis said I need to top up RM2k if I want Huawei. In terms of company backing, as above, Huawei is one of the biggest tech companies in the world, the backing is solid. Solis, not sure if the company is here in MY themselves or via distributor.

Anyhow the installer quoted me Solis 3P6K with 4.6k panels for more money versus Huawei 5KTL-M1 + 5.4k panels. So its a no brainer for me.
RM18.8k before any rebates.

Well, there are instances micro inverters can be useful, when shading is an issue or orientation/roof design. Mine is a straightforward terrace roof and nothing shading around my roof.

Averagely how many kwh can this produce?

For d 11kWp system at rm25800, how many panels would be needed? It's bill of rm650 is ~1366kwh? My current bill is rm300, planning to get EV in 3 years time.

If your bill is rm300, you don’t need this much. If ev is in the planning, but not confirmed, I think better not to take into consideration. Lots of thing can happen within this three years. Newer tech, cheaper options. 

You most likely need about 7kwp max. If you are on single phase, you don’t need to convert to three phase for 11kwp.


Why 3 years time to get ev. Get now and enjoy. Nice ride actually.
*
Let say if I get 7kwp now, in 3 years time if I need 11kwp how can I upgrade from 7kwp, add panels?
Actually from 7 to 11kwp add only 7k for an increase of 57% kwh, upgrade later might cost more?

I think my house is 3 phase power.
