I am lost. How to get the 3.4 from the picture?

i see. thanks ya

any recommended/affordable installer for 4 to 5kWp system?

two ways to look at it.

if u keep the money in epf, u still need to pay tnb bill right? say u withdraw money every month to pay 800 to TNB, how much of this 47k will be left after 4 years, or how many years the 47k totally depleted by using it to pay tnb bill?

if u use the 47k to install solar pv, say 800 tnb bill saving per month, what u can do is to invest the 800 into something that can give u 5.5% return, i dont think thats difficult to find such investment (say just buy maybank shares lah that give annual dividend 6 to 7%), in 4 years, u will get about 44k in investment, in 8 years, your investment value will be about 97k, while if the money still in epf, that 47k will increase to about 73k in 8 years, the gap will grow larger and larger

just saying, of course EPP even more beneficial as its 0% interest and the epf money still giving 5.5%

how many years EPP u r getting? what i heard max 4 years only

if 4 years EPP, your monthly installment will still be higher than your tnb bill and can only see net saving after 4 years

thats exactly what i mentioned earlier where i calculated for 8 years period

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.

We enjoy super low tariff for first 300kWh usage. So if my usage reach 1000kWh per month, it is still within the 22c/33c per kwh bracket which is super cheap

charge your car in day time during weekend/off day. Should be sufficient to fully charge the car unless u drive super far weekly

yup. more self consumption, less import

got EPP. got warranty

How u know theres no install?




U think all those ppl installing all stupid if it is not beneficial?

Trina is AAA grade for solar panel Woh

U should worry more on the inverter instead

Himo7 from longi? I think both longi and Trina also good and rated AAA

My system was upgraded from 565wp Canadian solar to 600wp Trina because contractor out of stock the 565wp so I'm happy

Just charge at the weekend. I believe your system should be about 14kwp. Say u can get average 8kw from 11am to 4pm for Saturday and Sunday, U should get at least 80kwh there and fully charge your EV. 80kwh worth of battery capacity can easily bring u a range of at least 400km, or even over 500km if u have an efficient EV

I read news saying CATL going to cut battery cost in half this year. So battery storage will be much cheaper in 10 years time. Maybe can get 20kwh in 5k then

I have a tesla.

Previously I pay around 400 a month for petrol and 150 a month to TNB

I have installed a 7kw system for 23k with EPP of 4 years in last December and monthly installment is 480, still cheaper than my previous TNB bill and petrol combined

My TNB bill last month is RM3.

Will be free power after 4 years
