Does chest freezer use less energy compared to normal one?

No need spend so much on CAPEX.

Register with tnb or gentari lease your roof to them for solar installation and maintenance.

20 years warranty iinm. They will give you 20% or more discount on your monthly bill.

You only need to pay rm1-2k deposit to start.

boy96 anak megah holding will clarify more for you

wasn't expecting so many replies.
thanks a lot everyone for the feedback.

tq. noted.
the RM1k rebate might get snatched up before end of 2024. probably can't wait that long.


a friend has the dolphin. but IINM i won't be able to charge it from the normal 3 prong plug?
we need that special wall box to charge an EV right?

lots of trees already.

entire compound is now surrounded by trees. and the rear of the house is surrounded by green paddy field.

can't wait that long.
that Skim Insentif Solar Rakyat rebate will be snatched up before i get an EV.

waiting for gov to announce the new EV roadtax scheme. if they slap RM3k for 500bhp EV roadtax mampos.

can clarify what is smart parking? i don't understand.

you go buy a FLIR/thermal camera and see if there's any hotspot or cold air leak from the room.
also good to insulate the entire roof to reduce heat from the rooftop.


not tempered in any way.
it's the new TNB smart meter i think.

i did the entire wiring myself so no it's not modded in any way.

i've probably done some sort of energy saving. that's why my energy cost is low.
i don't really have a problem with the energy bill since it's low as it is.

but consider this.
if i spend RM14k for a 4kW system and get RM4k rebate.
so total spent is only RM10k to generate about 400kW of power monthly.
400kW would allow me to contra about RM150-ish a month allowing me to have RM0 TNB bill.

RM10k / RM150 = 5.6 years of ROI then i'll get to live for the other 4.4 year on free electricity.
quite a good investment, no?

thanks will PM you.

yes probably too low for a solar system.

thanks. will need to check with TNB branch that handle this area.
thanks for the heads up.

Find the best IR rejection exterior paint in white and spray paint the roof lo.
Nice house.

To get that solaris rebate, you probably need to install at minimum 6kwp. So that your solar system will generate maybe around 3 to 4 kwac ?

So you're looking roughly around rm20k of investment for that nem system.

Not worth it for ts

After pasang that solar lease you will need to pay over 45cents/kWh

TS current bill without solar not even hit that tier.

Yes.

the house is already on 3 phase wiring.

my house has 2x 0.5hp (370W) water pump.
one for the sedimentation tank and another one from the sedimentation tank to the storage tank.
from the storage tank it's gravity fed to all 5 bathroom.

no loss of pressure since there's multiple distribution pipe. all 1 inch diameter.
another energy saving design to reduce pump cycle.


the roof area is built according to the drawing.
measurement from the drawing doesn't differ much.

the entire roof is heavily insulated with 3inch glass wool.

beneath the glass wool there's a double woven aluminum sheet. even during hot midday sun the roof temperature is kept at around 37 degrees.

the entire roof structure is then ventilated with aluminium louvers to further reduce trapped heat.
there's already rainwater collection that i use for irrigation purpose.

Are you going to apply for NEM? Or selco (off-grid)?

If selco, you can reduce your bill theoretically to RM0 because there wont be any limit in terms of solar pv capacity, but you need to get an energy storage system if you plan to continue use the energy at night.

But, if you plan to go for NEM (grid connected), the current capacity limit is 85% of your maximum demand, so you still have to pay for TNB bills.

Wow really well thought out

there's no intake and exhaust fan anywhere in the house.
it's all natural ventilation.

general wind direction is as above.

true. suspension does take a beating.

there's a lot of these agriculture dirt road everywhere.
it's better to drive a tall SUV than a low slung sports car over here.

haiya.
i designed the wrong roof then.
solar is really not my forte.
i used to think solar facing the west is the best to catch the most sunshine.

yes the 500bhp AWD byd seal is mighty enticing.
that, or the upcoming byd sea lion SUV.

an SUV will be better for the roads that we have up here.
slap a small 15-16" rim and some thick all terrain tyres hngghhhh

Hailat ftw!
Ev will be the first to die in the coming apocalypse
Haven’t you seen Mad Max?!
Lol

Not sure about the Gentari leasing, but from TNB should be "SARE" which is only applicable to commercial & industrial not?

Rule of thumb for any solar installation:

1. If you live in the northern hemisphere, your solar panels should be facing south (and vice versa).
2. Angle of the solar panels should be according to the latitude.

These two are just the starting points, actual calculations for optimal placement, angle and directions of solar panel depends on your location, surrounding trees/buildings, and many other factors.

In some areas, facing west would be the most optimal direction in certain months of the year, but in general, the panels should face south.

If I'm TS might as well set-up automated rotation support for the solar panel janji can fork out extra cash for cool tech if you get what i mean rather than measuring here and there so much hassle 😁

While it is cool looking tech but it’s not feasible. Better stick at one position and be done with it.

there are people who only turn on higher consuming electronics like aircond for 2-3 hours a night before sleep..

with solar installed, they don't really have to be so "stingy" on the usage of electronics already.

e.g. PC can on 24/7, get EV, longer hours of air-conditioning on daily basis.

Actually, not enforced minimum rm 10 TNB if generation exceeds consumption.
