QUOTE(am_i_rulez @ Oct 3 2023, 10:55 AM) 5 years ROI, quite good if there is no additional charges and can run another 5 years. How about repair and maintenance? solar panel - wash once a year. wash panel like go car wash clean your car window inverter - shelf life 8 to 12 years. thats it solar system -> no moving parts. very easy to maintain. got moving parts (like car) then need a lot of maintenance.

Can ON aircond whole day sure gg. got insider tell me..... substation supply to taman -> x kwh every house in taman -> y kwh x - y kwh = curi then check which house in that taman suddenly drop in kwh consumption recently. just pull up chart house by house, very easy see.... soon a team will come to that house and check the meter.

QUOTE(dudester @ Oct 3 2023, 11:59 AM) Strange question. I have plans to renovate house, maybe fix/replace roof tiles. If i am installing Solar Panel, does it mean i dont need to care the part cover by panels? water proof solar panels a little tricky. most installer pretty bad (ie will leak after installation). some are good. ask them what type of bracket and system they use.

QUOTE(dudester @ Oct 3 2023, 12:12 PM) If like the pic standard installation, I believe there will be leak between the panels. but at least is not directly hitting the tiles. Global warming getting quite bad, klang valley storm also stronger wind.... true.....however at one time SEDA encouraged BIPV (building integrated photo voltic) and they paid extra tariff. now no more already....i pasted example of picture further up.... some do this for extra light or more aesthetically pleasing.

QUOTE(Ivan113 @ Oct 3 2023, 12:19 PM) I know, but how often those panels need to be clean until somebody complain it's not worth it and troublesome despite 20% pa return? Need to clean once a week? Once a month? once a year. i pay bangla (2 pax) RM300 to climb up and use mop to clean the panel.

QUOTE(Drian @ Oct 3 2023, 12:22 PM) It is ROI. But the ROI needs to minus off any maintainence fee /interest (if borrowing from bank) and asset depreciation. TS doesn't include Asset depreciation so it's kind of flawed i guess you didn't do accounts..... just make it simple; a) cash out to buy the project b) cash in over 10 and 20 years calculate payback (in years) and internal rate of return. depreciation irrelevant.

QUOTE(Drian @ Oct 3 2023, 12:26 PM) Biggest unknown is inverter. That's why need warranty + reputable brand for this. Solar panel being passive will last very long. quality inverter important 10 years back was SMA (german) now more choice

QUOTE(bee88 @ May 26 2024, 09:59 AM) Actually in Kuching or Sarawak, their electric charges is still very very cheap. Like 30 cent per kWh at the highest rate. So there is little point going Solar there unless you are really a big consumption. Peninsular is 57sen/kwh for residential on the highest tier....nearly double...

QUOTE(bee88 @ Feb 14 2025, 11:28 PM) I think 4.64kwp setup won’t really help much in the Tnb bill, not only it’s more expensive upfront, but due to Tnb lower tariff for the first few hundred brackets, it won’t get u far in term of saving. Btw, 4.64kwp can and should help generate around 480kwh on average per month. Which is around 16-18kwh a day. my yearly average 3.1 hours (klang valley).....solar panel 10 years (solar world) and sma inverter....maybe time to upgrade...

QUOTE(bee88 @ May 26 2025, 02:24 AM) If i am not mistaken , Actually the higher fee can be used to cover the cost of Tnb pay for FIT producer. In the first generation of solar, Tnb actually pay about 85 cent to rm1.xx for each kWh to FIT solar programme participants which started in 2011. Before NEM was introduced. In fact all Users are paying a 1.6% kwtbb including current NEM users. TNB will need some $$ money to cover FIT program payout for sure I believe. So the higher rate translate to your support on the green initiative by Tnb all this while I guess. originally proposed at 5% but cabinet only approve at 1.6%.......if 5% then syiok....
