Question 5

Are there any solar schemes available for my business?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in Malaysia we have the Net Energy Metering (NEM) and Self-Consumption (SELCO) scheme for the adoption of Renewable Energy. With NEM, the energy generated from the solar PV system will be consumed first, and any excess to be exported and sold to the distribution licensee (such as TNB and SESB). Aside from NEM, SELCO is another option for you to generate electricity from your own solar PV system which allows you to offset or reduce your energy bills. With SELCO, you can consume all the electricity generated by your solar system but will not allow any excess electricity to flow into the grid.

Question 6

How much savings will I be able to enjoy with a solar power system?

Accepted Answer

With a solar power system installed in your building, you can save up to 85% on your monthly electricity bills.

Question 7

How often should solar panels be cleaned and maintained?

Accepted Answer

As solar power systems are hardwired without moving parts, they require very little maintenance. Nevertheless, the time needed for cleaning and maintenance can vary and it depends on several factors such as the slope of your roof, the location of your building, the presence of particles, etc. At Progressture  Solar, we provide operation and maintenance (O&M) services to our clients that include the cleaning and inspection of solar panels on an annual basis. It is our responsibility to keep your panels clean at regular intervals to prevent residue from forming and to ensure their optimal performance.

Accepted Answer

Depending on tariff rates, the average payback period for the purchase of a rooftop solar system is approximately 2.5 - 5 years.
