THE BRIGHT SIDE OF SOLAR TOWARDS THE PANDEMIC

As if going solar isn’t a huge enough leap for many people around the globe, the COVID-19 pandemic that attacked the world over a year ago has shown that investing in clean energy is prominent for its own reasons. Since everyone is now spending less time outside, the chaotic nature of everyday life at home has seemingly increased, especially with those homes serving as offices and classrooms for the foreseeable future. With everything that’s going on in the world right now, it's easy to understand why some people are reluctant or not prioritizing the switch to clean energy. Honestly, there's never been a better time to go solar than now, and postponing could cause you to miss out on huge savings. We'd love to help you through the process and make the decision hassle-and stress-free!

More time at home = More energy bills to be paid?

About a year ago, the majority of people spent a huge portion of their days outside of home, with parents at the office and children at school. At most times, the lights were switched off, A/C turned down, and devices left idle. Today, all the energy is constantly being used and practically runs around the clock. As we’re adjusting to the new normal, energy bills are expected to rise through the roof, and nobody knows how long this work-from-home environment will last. There is plenty of speculation that most companies will embrace the model permanently, especially the non-physical industries of work. Logically, the cost of energy from utilities is sure to increase over time. Utility rates across the country have constantly gone up annually, and the rise is expected to continue. Due to this, the sooner we go solar, the better it is for our return on investment. In today's situation, the investment brings the added benefit of reducing the financial impact from spending more time at home.

Government Program: Program NEM Rakyat

Under the NEM Rakyat Programme, Domestic Consumer(s) who have a solar PV installation on the roof-top of their premises will consume the energy produced first, and any excess will be exported to the TNB grid. The credit to be received for such excess energy will be used to offset part of the electricity bill on a “one-on-one” offset basis for a period of ten (10) years of operation. The energy generated by NEM consumers will be consumed first which implies that less energy will be imported from the Distribution Licensee (DL). In many countries, the NEM scheme is effective to hedge against fluctuation or increase in electricity tariff in the future. This is highly relevant for consumers that fall under the high electricity tariff block. With this program, any excess energy generated will be exported to the utility grid and will be paid on a 1:1 offset basis. The priority is for self-consumption, however most domestic consumers during the weekdays may not be at home and may have excess energy exported to the grid. The credit shall be allowed to roll over for a maximum of 12 months.
