"How many panels can fit on my roof?" The answer depends on your property type and roof layout.

Double-Storey Terrace (Intermediate)

  • Roof Space: ~300 - 450 sqft
  • Max System Size: 4 kWp to 6 kWp
  • Typical Bill Offset: RM 250 - RM 350 / month
  • Recommendation: Use high-efficiency panels (575W+) to maximize limited space.

Semi-Detached / Corner Lot

  • Roof Space: ~600 - 900 sqft
  • Max System Size: 8 kWp to 12 kWp
  • Typical Bill Offset: RM 500 - RM 800 / month
  • Recommendation: Ideal for 3-phase systems. Good ROI.

Bungalow

  • Roof Space: >1200 sqft
  • Max System Size: Up to 15 kWp for three-phase domestic (Solar ATAP cap). Larger systems require CCC review.
  • Recommendation: Consider aesthetic "All-Black" panels as the roof is often visible from the ground.

Not sure which size suits your property? Use our solar calculator to get a personalised recommendation. You can also explore specific system pages: the 5kW system is ideal for most terrace homes, the 8kW system suits semi-detached properties, and the 10kW system is the go-to choice for larger bungalows.
