QUOTE(adamw @ Sep 5 2024, 03:41 PM) If 3 phase should go for 3 X HMS-2000 and 12 x 605W provided roof space sufficient. You brought up a very good observation, I am being offered 10 panels with 605watt each assuming: 3 x panels to microinverter A 3 x panels to microinverter B 4 x panels to microinverter C I need to do more study on this This post has been edited by OrangeGrove: Sep 5 2024, 04:34 PM

Looks like my solar panel sytem quite cheap after discount. 4kwh for 10k. Average for last 3 months at least 5.5kwh  Jun to Aug tnb bill negative amount.

They gave you a good inverter, Sungrow, single phase. If your house is 3 phase then.. not so great. Cheap.. hmm, I won't say so, but your inverter is now underrated, you can add more panels inf future if your electricity usage increase or you change to an EV.

And nothing wrong with this. Just u will have extra port for two more panels should you anticipate any expansion.

Initially I was concerned about the capacity of the inverter vs the energy production from the solar panels.. In theory 4 panels produce 2420kw with 605kw each, but the inverter is rated at 2000 VA.. I actually wrote a mail to Hoymiles and their engineer responded, and claimed that it is compatible.. So there is some conversion calculation.. As long as the manufacturer themselves say it's ok then I am fine with that 😄

The purpose it's I don't want to pay electricity bill so i wouldn't purposely use more just to breakeven faster. EV will be an option when there's no more fuel subsidies.

Well, shouldn't take Solaris rebate into account when comparing cost between systems, because 4kWp system will always nett the highest savings/cheapest kWp price WITH Solaris rebate. So it's not a true apple to apple comparison. Anyway they did give you a larger inverter, you are future proof upto 7.8kWp with oversize panels, more than enough for single phase house. Good job!

What would be considered good price for Solar system without Solaris?
Below RM3000/kWp?

I got email from Seda that my application is received.. let's see if it will be approved. Still 14% unapproved quota..
