How to read this comparison

Pick two cities with the Location A and Location B selectors. The page lines up four figures for each: solar irradiance, average monthly bill, payback period and peak sun hours, followed by the incentives listed for each city.

Use the comparison to see how location changes the picture, but treat the numbers as planning guides. Payback depends far more on your own consumption, tariff, roof and system size than on the city alone, and the same published catalogue price, from RM15,999 for a 5.58 kWp system, applies across Peninsular Malaysia.

For a figure based on your home, keep your latest TNB bill to hand. Under Solar ATAP, exported energy is credited at the programme rate and unused export credit is forfeited each month, so a system should be sized to your daytime use. East Malaysia is served through local partners, from RM29,499, and Sabah and Sarawak follow their own schemes. Open the full guide for either city for its FAQs and local details.
