3 Steps to Choose the Right Solar PV Provider for Your Home

Solar PV: 3 Steps to Choose the Right Provider for Your Home

With rising TNB bills and the growing use of energy-intensive appliances like EV chargers and Tesla systems, many Malaysian homeowners are turning to Solar PV systems as a cost-effective solution. In September 2024, SEDA reported that the 350 MW capacity for residential solar under the NEM Rakyat initiative was fully subscribed, highlighting the increasing adoption of solar energy.

But choosing the right solar PV provider is a crucial decision. With so many options available, how do you know which one is right for you? This guide will walk you through three key steps to help you choose a provider that meets your needs and maximizes the value of your solar investment.

1. Reputation, Service, and Efficiency

Start by researching a solar provider’s track record. A strong reputation speaks volumes about their service quality and reliability. Look for online reviews, customer testimonials, and their portfolio of completed projects. Providers with consistent positive feedback and extensive experience with Malaysian homeowners are more likely to deliver a seamless experience. For example, Verdant Solar has built a strong reputation with the highest Google rating among residential solar providers—4.8 stars from 613 reviews.

Next, evaluate the services offered. Leading providers often assign dedicated consultants to conduct free site visits, assess your rooftop’s potential, and design an efficient solar panel layout tailored to your home. Providers with responsive post-installation support are also key, as they offer peace of mind and address any issues that may arise long after installation.

Finally, consider the materials used. High-quality materials, such as premium solar panels and efficient inverters, are essential for maximising energy output, ensuring long-term reliability, and boosting your ROI.

2. Ask the Right Questions to Your Solar PV Provider

Don’t hesitate to ask questions—it’s your right as a customer! Some key questions to consider include:

  • What’s the warranty period for the panels and inverters?
  • Do you offer maintenance or monitoring services?
  • Are there financing options available?
  • How long will the installation process take?
  • Are your panels compliant with NEM (Net Energy Metering) 3.0?

At Verdant Solar, our free consultations are designed to address these questions and more. Our consultants provide transparent and detailed explanations, ensuring homeowners feel confident and well-informed about their investment.

3. Understand Your Investment

Installing a solar PV system is a significant investment, ranging from RM17,000 to RM50,000, depending on your system size. Request a detailed breakdown of costs, including installation, equipment, and any additional fees, to make an informed decision.

Consider how much you’ll save in the long run. Many Malaysian households report reductions in their TNB bills of up to 90% after installing solar panels. At Verdant Solar, we offer flexible payment options, such as 0% interest instalments, bank loans, and cash payments. With government rebates, going solar has never been more accessible for Malaysian homeowners.

Conclusion:

Choosing the right solar PV provider doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By focusing on reputation, asking the right questions, and understanding your investment, you can avoid potential pitfalls and ensure a smooth transition to solar energy.
