❓ Top 5 Questions Malaysians Ask Before Going Solar (And the Truth Behind Them)

Thinking of installing solar, but still unsure if it’s worth it?

You’re not alone. At least 80% of homeowners in Malaysia ask these same questions before deciding — and rightfully so. Here are the top 5 most common concerns (and the facts behind them) to help you make a confident choice.

1. “Will I Really Save Money?”

Yes — if your electricity bill is above RM400/month, solar typically saves you RM300–RM500/month, depending on system size and usage pattern. Most homeowners break even in 4–5 years, and enjoy free energy after that.

2. ⚡ “What Happens at Night or on Cloudy Days?”

Your home still draws electricity from TNB when solar can’t meet demand. But with Net Energy Metering (NEM), you can export excess power during the day and use those credits later, balancing out your usage.

3. “Is the NEM 3.0 quota still available?”

Yes — as of 2025, NEM Rakyat (residential) is still open, but quotas are filling fast. Once it’s full, NEM 4.0 will take over — and may come with new terms.

4. “Is my house suitable for solar?”

If you have a landed property with a clear roof (no major shading), you’re likely eligible. We do free on-site assessments to confirm direction, tilt, and sunlight exposure.

5. “Is it hard to maintain?”

Not at all. Solar panels are low-maintenance, with no moving parts. Most systems last 25–30 years and only require occasional cleaning and monitoring.
