How much they have quoted?

Hi Brothers , i am comparing the vendors for my solar panels , as i have the option to build solar as roof by Epsilon . ( Others not so willing to do so ), it slightly different to compare with other typical solar system vendors. Install on awning and roof

They quoted below:

RM : 36,460 - Total
RM : 7200 - Awning part
RM : 29,260 - Solar System part

MONOFACIAL DUAL GLASS MONOCRYSTALLINE MODULE 24 Unit 660.00
- Brand : Trina Solar Vertex S+ (N Type)
- Model :NEG9R.28_EN_2024_500W
- Nominal Maximum Power (Pmax) : 500W
- Optimum Operating Voltage (Vmp) : 42V
- Optimum Operating Current (Imp) : 10.36Amp
- PV Array : 24 x 500W = 12KWP
RM 15,840.00

2 Inverter 15KW Three Phase 1 Unit
- Brand : Think Power
- Rated Power : 15KW AC
- Maximum PV Array Open Circuit Voltage : 850VDC
- MPPT Range @ Operating Voltage : 250 - 800VDC
- Number of MPP Trackers : 2 x 2 String
RM 4,000.00 RM4,000.00

Any review on Epsilon ? and it is a string system instead .
So far this is the cheapest solution if i just care about the kw and all in the awning inclusive price.

NEM submission shows 15kW inverter? And your total cost don't really add up when I try to calculate it
Btw, I am using thinkpower single phase inverter & they are quite decent!

haven't reach there yet , as i haven't confirm with them.

i am trying to simplify , if awning as solar roof , RM : 36,460 , take away the structural part is RM : 29,260 -

By referring RM 29260 , i can compare other solar vendors quotation.

Mostly offering 11-12kwp , 31k to 35k , micro inverter solar system only.

Therefore , with my awning cost : around 7k , (regardless , i need to build a backyard awning) , the whole system will stretch more than 40K if i am not taking  ,epsilon,aka solarmy

Just curious, why do you consider 0% instalment option as one of the key criteria in decision making? In my experience, 0% instalment is just pure marketing gimmick.

But not sure if you could make it in time for Solaris rebate, unless TNB extends it.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but i have an old subsale house and on the roof have a broken solar water heater. Not sure what is the brand. Anyone know whether I should be able to obtain the company name (if the company still exists) and ask the workers to remove?

Or just ask those usual house contractors and they should also be able to remove it?

I don't intend to use solar in the future. Just instant water heater will do.

It is not related, but still we love to help.
You can just ask renovation contractor to remove. They will charged accordingly.

Thanks. Btw i'm also concerned about the pipings and water tank connections etc. Yeah I have asked a contractor to inspect, and they said can remove then after that, terminate the piping or something.

These solar water heaters are using those internal concealed pipings? Then after remove, also considering whether install instant water heater or how.

How old is old? If already 15yrs or more, i suggest you lay new pipe over whole house for the peace of mind, especially if you plan to do renovation. You dun want to have the renovation done then 3-4 yrs later pipe leakage ruin ur renovation. For my case, i rather cut my renovation budget to fit in the new piping n wiring for whole house.

At one time around 10-15 yrs ago if not mistaken, there was trending for new housing projects to use ABS pipes, said to be a better materials which turned out not to be. Check if tat house is running ABS piping, if yes, better lay new pipes.

Previous owner stayed around 2010 onwards. Damn, maybe it's ABS pipings. Will contractor/plumber know how to check?

Turned out not to be? Why, what happened with ABS?
What did you meant by 'especially if you plan to do renovation'?

Anyway, wow if want to do new piping and wiring, damn, that will cost almost RM30k isn't it? And a lot of things need to be destroyed.

No guarantees new piping won't leak though.

Heard many horror ABS stories from frens and relatives, especially if running water pump.

If you bought the house that already done with reno and u intend to just move in, then dun bother with new piping n wiring. If u bought a basic house and intend to tear down everything to renovate all over, then can consider running new wiring n piping.

With new TNB tariff overhaul, those who installed solar might get screwed if solar generation can only knock off the electricity charge and not the network charge/capacity charge.

Will need to wait for official announcement.
