I hear from kopitiam blow water session that there's this someone who adjust the meter n year ago -> tnb sent letter wanna change smart meter (whole taman) and he normalize back the meter -> tnb lai change smart meter -> readjust the smart meter  laugh.gif

Psst ... he very diam bout this, very the diam unlike those lak kaw bu chiet mouth like a loud speaker.
I hear he's been on the tnb discounted rate for > 10 year. Duno what usage is before but after discount its around Rm150+-

Kasi bakar the meter and get tnb to install new one -> install ur solar.

The first gen of smart meter can be tamper, like a remote control switch on and the meter will not be running, not sure whether it will transmit data back to TNB server or not. My friend did it.

But the latest gen of smart meter even if u tamper the meter, the hourly usage once become 0 and TNB will find it irregular, in short very easy to kantoi.

Actually I believe they bypass the meter.  With a smaller wire.

So depending on your “saving” like how many percent , they adjust the thickness of the wire.

Coz my friend say that if they “on” the device, the meter will still run.  But whole night only 2kwh or 3kwh.

Just my suspicion.

This kind very easy kantoi wor if kena TNB spot check, which is why it is very risky.

If you have 500 ringgit bill consistent, it’s very worth to venture to solar.  The general consensus is above 400 it’s super worth to install.

With the right system, roi is below 60 months with no upfront deposit whatsoever. And bill will drop to tm3.

Basically you are just channeling money paid to Tnb to buy a system that belongs to you. U still get to enjoy the electricity as as much as usual and only pay rm3 to Tnb.  Ur rm500 will go to ur system for about 60 months. After that alll free electricity.  If u don’t do solar, u will channel 120 months of rm500 to Tnb just to use and get nothing back.

In the next NEM 4.0 i think they going to rent roof from owner, generating additional income for owner. As for normal terrace house i think need to think twice of this, the water leakage can be a major headache for house owner.
