A solar system converts sunlight into electricity using solar panels. It helps reduce energy bills and decreases reliance on the power grid.
A solar system generates electricity from sunlight using solar panels. It helps reduce your monthly electricity bills and lower your reliance on the power grid.
Solar panels are made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells that absorb sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. This DC power is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter, which is the type of electricity used by most home appliances.
Solar panels contain photovoltaic cells that capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then changes this DC into alternating current (AC) to power your premises.
This depends on factors like local energy costs, available incentives, and your home’s sunlight exposure. Many homeowners find solar to be a cost-effective investment over time, with benefits including:
Save Electricity Bill
Reduce Environmental Impact
Increase Property Value
Return on Investment within 5 - 7 Years
Just RM400 (refundable) + RM100 (non-refundable site visit fee). We'll assess your site to determine the best solar setup or additional services.
Yes. You can.
Costs vary based on system size, type of panels, installation, and location. You may choose your affordable system size. The final cost would depend on the outcome of the site visit assessment conducted and available space and type of the roof.
There are no hidden charges. You'll receive a clear, final costing breakdown after we conduct a site visit and assessment.
The purpose of a site visit assessment is to assess the condition of the premises and locate suitable pathways to access the roof. However, the site visit does not involve internal roof inspection as we are not roofing experts. We would also perform an aerial measurement of all roof spaces, and identify any shading issues caused by nearby trees or obstructions. This process is essential to ensure that we can propose a scale up / scale down solar system solution to meet your requirement.
Yes, you can. If your property has a single-phase power supply, then you are limited to single-phase solar systems. It isn't possible to install a three-phase inverter on a property with a single-phase connection unless you were to upgrade your supply.
Savings vary based on your electricity consumption and solar system size. You can always save anywhere up to 95% with the NEM scheme (Only available in Peninsular Malaysia). The estimated saving and return of investment is stated in our price list. The average return on Investment (ROI) is between 5 to 7 years for residential sites.
Yes, options include cash purchases, solar financing scheme, credit card instalment plan up to 60 months, and Easy Payment by exclusive financial partners.
The estimated number of panels for each solar system size is stated in our price list. No worries! That’s the reason why we need to arrange a site visit assessment to determine you have enough roof space.
Solar panels can still generate some electricity on cloudy days, but output decreases. At night, you can draw electricity from the grid or alternatively use battery storage if installed.
Installation typically takes one to two days, but the entire process for NEM (including permits and approvals) can take between 6 to 16 weeks, as we will need to obtain approval from TNB and SEDA Peninsular Malaysia. If you wish to have a pure self-consumption model for residential usage, no approval from SEDA is needed for up to 72KW in Peninsular Malaysia and this can be completed within a week, depending on the installation size.
This is possible, but we would advise against it as it would increase the ROI (Return on Investment). Subsequently, do note that the validity of the surplus energy generated is only valid till the end of the calendar year (31st December of the year), after which it will be forfeited.

The prices for solar systems are not projected to go much lower in the years to come. Besides the cost of panels, direct material costs such as labour, Inverters, and electrical components may affect prices. Also, with the previous constant increase of electricity tariffs, you may lose out on potential savings.
Yes, you can upgrade your solar system, but this will depend on the availability of your roof space and the size of your inverter. For Peninsular Malaysia, is also subject to the approval and availability of the NEM quota.

The warranty for a solar system typically includes several components, each covering different aspects of the system:
Solar Performance Warranty: Up to 30 years, guaranteeing that the panels will produce a certain percentage of their rated output (often around 80-90%)
Solar Panel Warranty: 12 years, covering manufacturing defects.
Inverters Warranty: 10 years, covering manufacturing defects.
Operation & Maintenance: 1 year, covering any issues related to the installation itself.
The warranties provided only cover damages caused by a manufacturing defect or performance related defect.
Solar systems require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning of solar panels and occasional inspections on systems are recommended to ensure optimal performance.
The price of regular cleaning and inspection vary based on system size, ranging from RM1,100 to RM3,000 per visit, with scope of service of inspection and cleaning as below:
Solar PV Module & String Inspection
Inverter Inspection & Maintenance
Racking & Mounting Structure Inspection
DC & AC Electrical Inspection
Remote Monitoring device Inspection
System Repair & Spare Parts Handling
Warranty Administration
Solar Panel Cleaning
It is advised to clean solar panels typically at least once a year, however it is very much depending on your location and environmental factors. In areas with heavy dust, pollen, or bird droppings, more frequent cleaning may be necessary.
No, the entire system will shut down, and the inverter will switch off for self-protection during a blackout. However, if storage or batteries are installed, the inverter and system will continue running.
Net Energy Metering is one of the options which allows you to sell excess electricity generated by your solar system back to the grid, often resulting in credits on your electricity bill. This system is designed to provide you credit for any excess of solar energy you generate. It is then used to offset your next electricity bill. (Only in Peninsular Malaysia)
The NEM scheme only lasts for 10 years. Owners can continue with self-consumption after that. (Only in Peninsular Malaysia)
Documents needed to apply for Residential NEM:
Applicant's Mykad or Passport copy or SSM Form (if your TNB bills is under company)
Latest 3 months Electricity Bill
Site Ownership (full copy of S&P agreement/ geran tanah/cukai)
Applicant & Alternative Contact Person Information - (full name as per in IC, IC No, Email, Contact No, relationship)

Solar For Rakyat Incentive Scheme, SolaRIS is an incentive programme launched by the Government aimed at attracting new installations of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in residential premises. This programme supports the government’s goal of increasing renewable energy capacity in the electricity supply system to 70% by the year 2050 and reducing carbon emissions.
A cash rebate of up to RM4,000 will be given to residential customers who submit Net Energy Metering (NEM) application to Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) Malaysia from 1st April 2024 onwards and successfully commission their solar PV system installations with TNB.
