So direct feed to network

and night time withdraw from TNB

I have farm, meter on commercial rate, there is such scheme also ?

If we import and setup our own, can get approval from TNB for their NEM program? From where I read on TNB, need to appoint a contractor.

I just check around. 20 panels 500w cost about rm6k, really can save a lot money.

Is the solar collection consistent through out the entire year? Feels like some certain month it's always raining or cloudy

Trina is AAA grade for solar panel Woh

U should worry more on the inverter instead

Ada warranty la boss ......

Those install in FIT in 2011 should answered you ... more than 12 years

Btw we don't just pay 50k .... got 0% interest installments la dei....

If you says that he has 10 years of fit left, means that he has used the panel for 15 years already. 

And to think that the panel on those days can last 15 years that time, it’s quite impressive already. 

But iinm, u cannot increase the capacity of the kw for fit. They are very strict with that.

Yea. There is a risk of solar company disappear or gulung jor. So it’s best to get from companies with a longer history in the business I guess.

i think the replacement costs should be quite cheap for that capacity, maybe less than 10k

i remember FIT sell back price to TNB is very high, RM1 plus per kwh, ROI probably less than 2 years

So what will you suggest to be use to evaluate as in your opinion you think that ROI it is not reliable?

For common consumers... the tariff... which can be tracked all through the years is easy to understand and can be use fairly easily to know if one earn or loss from his Solar project. That will be the predicted ROI.

Of course you are not totally wrong as the ROI is calculated based on current and previous tariff which is predicted to constantly increase. But who know suddenly there is a new oid field found and oil price drop dirt cheap and electric tariff follow suit, or some mad scientist suddenly able to produce electricity out of thin air and electricity tarif price drop rendering solar ROI to zero.

How you check how much ur solar generate the power per day? Is there something like your smartphone can know the percentage of your battery? If not then you just don't know ler since tnb install all for you only.

If private company its very risky and expensive as they can anytime close shop and then open a new company again

Then take video show the power meter here instead of all just words. If cannot accept criticism why open thread? We are now accessing evidence not just words.

this is the smallest system i have seen. how much u pay for it ya bro?

That mastika is tnb app mer? I only want to know about tnb 1 since belongs to gomen,

If private company no need because anytime can chap lap aka gulung tikar. No point to know.

Honestly, why mention battery in the first place? The nem system no batteries la.  To be honest, I have got data of fit users but I don’t think I would like to share here coz you are not planning to understand or learn.  Kinda trolling most of the time.

Capacity 565w x 12 panels.

But limited by inverter rating and 4 panels facing north.

Inverter is 1.8kw x 3.

Max inverter output is 1.932kw though (483w per panel)

Supposingly at max sun brightness, the output is kept at 1800W or 1932W for this inverter? Any input power over 1800W will be tapered off?

Actually when you sell a house with NEM, the whole system is transferable.... just  add up in the house price...

For my case, my inverter rated 2000W, clipping at 536W

My panel is rated 600W, but max input to the inverter is 536W due to clipping

But 4 X 536W will get 2144W, more than the inverter 2000W rating, so output of inverter will be clipped again to 2000W or still remained at 2144W?

It depends on the system size. For example, a 40k system from company A , at a difference of 8% is going to be 3.8k more.

This will affect the ROI in long term.

For smaller system, the roi is already long, so even an 8% difference will have significant delay on the roi, making it not so  worth anymore for the hassle.

But yes, always compare few prices, and the specs of the packages you will get coz it’s a system that you are going to use for long term.  Get what you are comfortable with.

For smaller system, based on my experience, the difference isn’t that big, because most solar companies has a minimum price that they want for each project. They are not so keen on small project nowadays. Doing a 4kwp project takes a similar time for completing a 9kwp project, so they don’t really look at smaller project. But if willing to dig further, perhaps the difference could be quite big too based on my experience.  It could be larger than 8%. I would say the Tnb company  price is usually 20% or more  than others most of the time

Good discussion thread for home solar
Learn a lot from here

Now I start searching for installer
So far from what I read here :

Many ppl recommend path green  ( because their micro inverter cheaper than others)

Gspark slightly expensive ( but backed by Tnb)

Any other installer recommend ?

3 phase

Now tnb bill is rm 600+
Future usage might increase if more EV and family members stay with us

Anyone tried installing solar panel on awning? Or better still, use solar panel as awning? I've plans to install awning at my parents' driveway, so thinking if its possible to do so. The driveway also gets unblock sunlight throughout the day.

one of my neighbour got his solar installed by this company called Northern Solar. Very very bad service. During pitching everything is good, however the headache came during the installation part. During installation day, appointment made at 9am but the contractor end up coming at 2-3pm despite several reminders and kept calling the sales guy.

When contractor finally came, he said no one from the company inform him. Anyway, installation done and then got leaking issue. contacted the sales guy but he kept pushing the blame to my neighbour instead of rectifying it. So, my neighbour contacted the contractor directly and turns out its a sub con and he said he can't do anything because the solar company did not pay them and all the other sub con for a long time. So they asked the sales guy if can fix on our own and claim from your end, he said can. so proceed with own fixing and at the end now say cannot claim. Left google review but it has been deleted.

Avoid this company, Northern Solar. They offer cheap package but come with a lot of problem after. Not worth the saving. Heard from the contractor also that a lot customer complain but no action taken.

Ooo, keep me posted! I'm very much interested in this setup.

I think 22k includes 3 phase already… how would I know how much is enough to cover my monthly usage?

Soalan bodoh, if my bill is rm200 and I have the same exact setup as yours, so tnb need to pay me RM200-RM559=359
