Just got new quotation from pathgreen, since I'm still deciding what size solar.
9.68kwp rm30k
12.10kwp rm36k.
Microinverter hoymiles.

I asked about adding battery and getting a smaller capacity solar but was told if add battery will not be eligible for NEM.
*
NEM can add battery & in fact Hoymiles launching their AC couple battery for micro soon. Most vendors don't want to do battery because of the cost to keep batteries and also the additional risk.

Hi guys, I am new to Solar installation and I was checking the NEM 3.0 and Solaris website.

Question with regards to Solaris program and rebate (RM1000 per kwh), the program will last as long as NEM quota still available?

thanks

NEM quota running low, just do it incase they don't extend the Solaris program brows.gif

Hi guys, I am offered with Trina bifacial panels.. wondering how effective are the bifacial panels since they will be mounted on the roof tiles?

Another thing crossed my mind is my house is facing north and my panels most likely will be facing north as there are 3 storey house at my south which could partially block my roof.. the sun usually at the north side during mid year and at the south during year end and beginning of the year..
Anyone notice if the difference is huge throughout the year? Understand that monsoon season also affects the energy production..

No need worry so much, if can afford it just get it done & get your 4k bonus! Solar generation will definitely go up/down throughout the year! As for how bad the blockages you can actually used the app PV Calculator to estimate.

Thanks... yea Verdant is pretty pricy, that was the quotation in Jan 2024

I just proceed with Pathgreen yesterday, 6.05kWp 10 panels (Trina bifacial), 3 x microinverter (Hoymiles) for RM20k best price.
Turns out to be RM3306 per 1 kWp, I tot it is pretty ok considering they are providing 3 x microinverter, also 20% cash, 80% CC 24-month 0 interest.

So far I think this is the lowest that I get from various providers.
*
3x2kW hoymiles? Panels & inverter kW doesnt sounds right to me?

If 3 phase should go for 3 X HMS-2000 and 12 x 605W provided roof space sufficient.

Yes to be exact RM14210 before Solaris.

Solaris supposed to be 2.7k but they wrongly submitted thats why I get 4k.

rm1k 1kW, your installation not +4kW panels?

Yea..
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 😄

You are supposed to oversized the panels! Yours only 1:1.21. Mine 1:1.3 brows.gif

What will happen to those solar system providers after NEM Rakyat quota depleted?
Wait for government to announce NEM4.0 or extended quota?
I assume some reputable vendors can still get businesses from NOVA whereby smaller player will count on luck…
*
Can apply under Selco & run the Solar with limiter but this round rather complicated because of Solaris. If later convert to NEM & if Solaris is extended you might not get it!

The question was on the pool of solar system vendors.
Probably they have enough backlogs now to survive till government announces new NEM plan or extended quota.
SELCO volume is definitely insufficient to feed the current vendors pool.
Hopefully, those companies are still around as long as the solar system warranty.

In between 28th Nov 2023 when quota depleted until 1st April 2024 when NEM 3 extra quota with Solaris announced, they still managed to survive brows.gif

Didn't had change to go.
Btw, is there still quota left for the extended rm4k rebate?

I think chances of getting the 4k if they don't extend again rather slim brows.gif
Quota Balance: 10.9360MWac

what is the reason to have oversized panel to inverter?

is it because the panel wont achieve the max 605w or 610w?

During cloudy days still can give better output.

Mind asking what does the Solar Insurance cover?

I signed up 8kwh package at the Setia City CC Home Expo last month, 14 JA panels, Solargrow inverter, for 22.5k. Now awaiting SEDA approval. I don't think it comes with Solar Insurance.

The coverage for NEM loss of savings sound interesting.

Yes, wanted to buy too but just haven't survey enough which company is good. My friend's Deye hybrid inverter which cost almost 9k has been having issues for almost a month not settled yet. If he bought maybe no need to worry but don't know what's the period covered though. If anybody bought before please share your experience.

Signed up at Expo three weeks ago. Then site visit two weeks ago to confirm if roof can fit 14 panels. Submission thereafter. Was told SEDA will take 4-6 weeks, is that the norm?

Nowadays seems faster, 2 of my friends managed to get approval within 2 weeks which is very suprising smile.gif
