Misinformation is expensive. Let's clear up the myths surrounding photovoltaic systems in our country.
Myth 1: "Solar doesn't work when it rains or is cloudy."
Fact: Solar panels work on light, not heat. While output drops during heavy rain (to ~10-20%), they still generate power during cloudy moments. Our estimates use about 3.5 peak sun hours a day for Malaysia, which is enough for solid returns.
Myth 2: "It makes my house too hot."
Fact: The opposite is true! Solar panels act as a second roof shade, absorbing the sun's heat before it hits your tiles, which can help keep the roof space cooler.
Myth 3: "I will have electricity during a blackout."
Fact: Standard grid-tied systems shut down during a blackout for safety (anti-islanding). Unless you have a hybrid inverter with a battery backup, you will also lose power.
Myth 4: "Maintenance is difficult."
Fact: Systems have no moving parts. Aside from occasional cleaning (handled by rain or yearly service), they run themselves.
