โShould I pay cash for my solar system, or use a loan or instalment plan?โ
โ Both options work โ but the best choice depends on your budget, goals, and expected returns.
Letโs break down what most Malaysian homeowners are doing in 2025.
๐ต Option 1: Cash Payment
Paying in full means:
โ
Lowest total cost (no interest or fees)
โ
Faster ROI โ usually within 4 to 5 years
โ
Enjoy full savings from month one
Cash is ideal if you have spare funds, EPF withdrawal access (via Account 2), or simply want to invest in a stable, long-term asset.
๐ฆ Option 2: Loan or Instalment Plan
For homeowners who prefer flexibility:
โ
0% credit card instalments (up to 36 months)
โ
Bank solar loans (tenure up to 10 years)
โ
Monthly payments often similar to your TNB bill
This is great for those who want to go solar without upfront capital.
And the best part? The system still generates savings while you pay โ meaning it can offset the instalment itself.
๐ What Are Most People Choosing?
In 2025, weโre seeing:
- 40% choosing full cash (to save more over time)
- 60% using instalments or solar-friendly loans
- Most hitting ROI within 5โ6 years, even with financing
Itโs no longer about โcan I afford it?โ โ itโs about choosing the right payment strategy.
