🧐 What Are the Hidden Costs of Going Solar in Malaysia?

“Are there any extra fees after I pay for my solar system?”

✅ Most costs are transparent — but it’s important to know what’s included, and what might pop up later.

Let’s break down the real picture, so you can avoid surprises.


💰 What’s Usually Included in the Quoted Price?

A professional solar package typically covers:

✅ Solar panels & inverter
✅ Installation labor & materials
✅ Net Energy Metering (NEM) submission
✅ TNB approval process
✅ Monitoring app setup
✅ Basic workmanship warranty

For most homeowners, this is all you’ll need to pay.


🧾 What Are the Potential “Hidden” or Extra Costs?

  1. DB Board Upgrade
    • Some older homes may require upgrading the distribution board (RM500–RM1,000)
  2. Roof Repairs (if needed)
    • If the roof is damaged or unstable, it must be fixed before installation
  3. Scaffolding / Special Access Equipment
    • Rare, but necessary for complex or steep roofs (usually for 3-storey or shoplots)
  4. Post-warranty Service
    • After free support ends (usually 1–2 years), optional annual servicing may cost RM200–RM400

📍 How to Avoid Surprise Charges?

✅ Ask for a full itemized quotation
✅ Ensure NEM submission and TNB approvals are included
✅ Clarify warranty coverage for parts and labor

Most reputable providers are transparent — it’s the cheap packages that tend to hide costs.
