Penang is one of the sunnier parts of Peninsular Malaysia. But local council rules on the island are stricter.
Why Penang Suits Solar
Our estimates use about 3.98 peak sun hours a day for Penang, Kedah and Perlis, among the highest in Peninsular Malaysia and about 14% more than the 3.50 hours we use for the Klang Valley.
Heritage Zones vs Newer Developments
If you live in a heritage zone (George Town), you need special heritage permits. For newer developments in Bayan Lepas, standard SEDA approvals apply.
Top Penang Locations for Solar
- Tanjung Bungah: Ideal for large bungalows.
- Balik Pulau: High agricultural solar potential.
- Bayan Baru: High density of semi-Ds suited to 8-10kWp systems.
