"12 Jul - 6.30 pm - Received the Email from TNB say NEM meter complete, and a bill for this month payment.

20 Jul - Received the Solaris welcome and claim form. - but IC number invalid, reported to TNB, they say is solar installer need to settle with TNB, then reported to Solar installer. Solar install say they have go to TNB HQ to deal with it."
My update.

21 Jun start installed solar panels and inverter.

27 Jun finally completed installation.

1 whole month of keep chasing installer and tnb till also fed up. ****pls note: the installer time line did mention up to 8 weeks for smart meter installation.

27 Jul - Installed smart meter - spoke to the TNB tech. they said their queue is so full and have so much to do, they are friendly and belanja them some softdrink. *** they completed the meter change in just 10 minutes.
***immediately turn on the solar power system.... now, a little relief.
30 Jul  - Just received the NEM completion letter.

looks like I will have to wait another 8 days for Solaris to welcome Us....before we can even fill out the rebate forms... I think this part is also very important as it seriously cut short the ROI, or in our case, enable us to buy Insurance for 3.5 years.

Hey guys, I need some opinions. I'm comparing a few vendor solar system proposals and would like some advice on which vendor/system to choose especially on the Solar Panel and Inverter. I'm fairly new to solar systems, so any feedback or opinions are welcome!

I have send in enquiries for another two more company today let’s see if they will response.

My place has roof with tiles, some area is not so slanted but can only fit 3 panels, majority of the area are 43 degrees slanted.

My solar has been ON for two days. Rated 7.26, so far got 34 kWh perday? The weather not fully sunny, mixed with cloudiness. Acceptable readings? Tq

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.

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.

can share the panel layout that show each of panel performance during the highest kwh?

so that's mean with 605W panel, 1 microinverter should connect to 3 panel instead of 4 to get maximum output?
or get the higher W of inverter.

Probably the outlier here. My HMT-2000 can hit 560w. But, it's been cloudy/rainy very often since my system started that i have never experience all my panels maxing out yet ...

any of user here with 2 panel connected to 1 microinverter? User with system 6KW should be. Or with 10, 14, 18 panels.
What is your max generate for 1 panel?

Seems that most are on HMS as i can barely find any user contribution on HMT. Price wise, i got my system comparable to a HMS system so i went with it despite there being not much review on this series (To be fair, my vendor said he underquoted me).

So far only diff is i get a balanced distribution of the energy to each phase* n my per panel max is slightly higher. Asides from that, i cannot tell or have yet to discover.

*Good or bad i dont know, mr google n chat GPT says balanced better, others say ability to customise better 🤷🏻‍♀️.

its not a problem having extra MI on a phase...

those single phase houses with 4-5 kwp all goes to 1 phase, MI is much less...

anyways just saying not an issue with home installations...

commercial is a different story amd have very rigid requirements

Would it be possible to upgrade the panel from 4.5 kwp to 9 in the future?

Current house under construction is 3 phase.
Asking because developer included this solar system as part of the house.

Apparently HMS-2000 has 4 MPPTs, whereas HMS-2000-4T has 2 according to the spec.  Not sure why the reduction though as HMS-2000-4T is the latest i think..

which is that?...

i checked many -4T mi... they all show 2 mppts only...

I also tot 2mppt based on website but my installer send this....they using 4mmpts.
I think this is the one in website Europe without D or DW behind just HMS-2000. The one in website for Asia comes with HMS-2000D or DW behind..

My 10.89kw 18 panels (was quoted Trina 605w but got Trina 610w) just up 10 days ago. 2 panels facing south are on one HMS-2000. Max output for both panels are 536.8w and most productive so far. Highest output total for 18 panels are 9.44kW. Too bad only 2 panels can face south. The rest face north and west. Highest micro inverter temperature was 82 C.

Highest output per day so far was 50.5kWh. On rainy days will get just below 20kWh. On sunny days between 30 to 40 kWh.
