Hi. Can I ask you .. since your gross usage is higher than 1500 units.
Do u get extra charged for the surcharge for touching tat level even though your true usage has been brought down by solar ?

I'm also using solar system now. My usage is around 1300kwh (gross). And my bill after inport export calculation is around rm40.
My worry is if I wan to buy ev car, will my total bill kena the new surcharge since it touches 1500 since I will need to charge the car at home.

Touch 1.5K and the whole amount gets charged with the surcharge right?

Mine 1.6K the past 2 months, and 2.2K the month before that, kena nicely LOL

Rn 1.2K for this month, still got 1 more week so RIP probably gonna be above also FML

U on solar?

Yea since August, just trying to understand the charges and trying to actively reduce. Its kinda stupid that they dont use net import for that ICPT charge.

That is net import that they use.

If u are referring to “net import” whereby, u need to minus ur export, that isn’t the case.
But if u want to reduce import, u should change ur lifestyle and do everything in the morning. Like that ur import should be reduced. For example, charging ev in the morning.

Yep, also trying to monitor night time usage with various sensors

Still need huge investment right? I think most also just use a solar panel for water heating only.

For an average of RM280 a month usage, is it advisable to even install solar panels?
*
Nope, 500+ then should consider

Ic.  So your total Feb production is 1397.27?

That translate to 3.67 Sun hour.

Slightly better than usually promised 3.5sun hour.

Where is your location?

KL, bill still high tho, i guess thats what happens when there are 3 power hungry PCs that are on at night LUL, one of which is a 24/7 machine.
