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.

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.

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.  doh.gif

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.

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

Yeah at least there’s a minimum bill

TNB also wants to cari makan
