βShould I go for a hybrid system with batteries, or just stick to the on-grid solar?β
β It depends on your goals β savings vs backup power.
Letβs compare both systems and see which fits your lifestyle best.
π Option 1: On-Grid Solar (Most Common in Malaysia)
β
Connected directly to TNB
β
Generates power for daytime use
β
Excess is exported under NEM for rebates
β Shuts down during power outage (for safety)
Best for:
π Urban homeowners with stable electricity
π° Those focused purely on savings
π Lower upfront cost, faster ROI (4β6 years)
π Option 2: Hybrid Solar System (Solar + Battery)
β
Works like on-grid, but includes a battery
β
Keeps essential appliances running during blackout
β
Useful in rural areas or homes with sensitive equipment (e.g. aquariums, medical gear)
π¦ Higher cost, but more independence
Best for:
π‘ Homeowners in blackout-prone areas
π Families needing uninterrupted power
π Those willing to invest more for backup assurance
π° Whatβs the Price Difference?
- On-grid: RM15kβRM25k for typical homes
- Hybrid: RM30kβRM45k (depending on battery size)
- Battery lifespan: 10β15 years with warranty
β Which One Should You Choose?
If your goal is maximum bill reduction, go on-grid.
If you want peace of mind during outages, consider hybrid.
