365/6 days have sunlight, but what I mean is the quality of "hot" sunlight.
And the panel direction also comes into play.

you means 52 x 6 days a week.
Yaya, rain, mist and humidity all affect the out come.

As said, you need to consider all the factors.
Just say, without this solar panels, you are spending rm200 for your electric bill monthly. But once you install this, you may only paying rm150, for long term it is something.
But for just investment sake, I think it is not that good.

I already have solar heater panel at roof top. tongue.gif
I know the effect is too little compare to the whole roof with panels la. hehe

I see the wrong one. Solar panel heater won't absorb much like those solar panels.
Yours only cover 10-20% while the other type can cover 50% icon_rolleyes.gif
*
Yaya. Probably less then 10%.
Btw, i saw some house almost the whole roof is covered by the solar panel. It looks kind of weird.

That is because they want to do free advertisement in forums.
Just make 1 car with some effort then other cars take back the effort.
History are proven this, KL's some reputable shops are giving sheet type of quality.

No la. They just show me the picture when i go to pick my car.
No advertisement in internet one.

4 wires to the meter will be 3 phase, 2 wires will be single phase.
*
Look for cut off fuse will be easier.
1 cut off fuse = single phase
3 cut off fuse = 3 phase

Single phase meter only have red LED that blink.
But 3 phase meter got green color display during night, can check voltage(mine highest was 255V during normal run) and current thumbup.gif
Is good to have a check on incoming voltage every now and then. A rm38 Sunwah multimeter is a good start. Or if you are fanatic enough, a Fluke multimeter whistling.gif

Purposely get a metter to check the voltage?

Check for any open circuit, check voltage on plug points.
Anything > 245V, I'll call 15454.

Good idea. Haha

Test connection of a cable, test resistance of a cables, test Amp usages, voltage, capacitance, etc...
