What Is Solar100’s Role?

Solar100 supports the early research, discovery and comparison stage of a solar project.

The platform helps Malaysian property owners identify participating solar companies based on location, property type and requested services.

Solar100 may help users:

• Find solar companies serving their area
• Identify residential or commercial providers
• Understand available solar services
• Submit property and electricity information
• Request consultations or quotations
• Compare providers using consistent information

What Does the Solar Installer Handle?

The selected solar company is responsible for the technical, installation and contractual parts of the project.

Depending on the project scope, the installer may handle:

• Reviewing electricity bills
• Assessing the property or roof
• Recommending a suitable system capacity
• Selecting panels and inverter equipment
• Estimating annual solar generation
• Preparing the official quotation
• Handling relevant applications
• Installing the solar system
• Testing and commissioning
• Providing monitoring access
• Issuing relevant warranties
• Providing maintenance support

Customers should confirm the exact scope in writing because the services included may differ between solar providers.

Does Solar100 Prepare the Final Quotation?

No. Solar100 does not prepare the final technical quotation for the customer’s property.

The final quotation should be issued by the selected solar company after reviewing the customer’s project requirements, electricity consumption and property conditions.

A complete solar quotation may include:

• Proposed system capacity in kWp
• Number of solar panels
• Solar panel brand and model
• Inverter brand and model
• Estimated annual generation
• Installation and electrical work
• Roof mounting requirements
• Monitoring system
• Application and approval services
• Product warranties
• Workmanship warranty
• Payment terms
• Excluded items
• Total installed price

Solar100 may facilitate the initial enquiry, but the customer and solar provider must review and agree on the final proposal directly.

Who Is Responsible for the Solar Installation?

The solar company named in the customer’s quotation and contract is responsible for carrying out the installation according to the agreed project scope.

Before making payment, customers should confirm:

• The legal name of the contracting company
• The company’s business registration details
• Who will perform the installation
• Whether subcontractors will be involved
• The expected installation schedule
• The person responsible for coordination
• The workmanship warranty period
• The process for reporting installation issues

Who Handles Applications and Approvals?

Application and approval responsibilities should be stated clearly in the solar provider’s quotation.

Depending on the project and applicable programme, the solar provider may assist with documentation, technical submissions, utility requirements and other relevant processes.

Customers should ask:

• Which applications are included?
• Are application fees included?
• What documents must the owner provide?
• Who monitors the application status?
• Is additional electrical work included?
• When can the system begin operating?

Solar100 does not replace the relevant authority, utility provider, appointed professional or technical consultant involved in the project.

Who Provides the Solar Warranty?

Solar projects may include several separate warranties provided by different parties.

Solar100 does not manufacture solar equipment and does not replace the original equipment manufacturer or installation company as the warranty provider.

Customers should keep copies of the quotation, contract, equipment serial numbers, warranty certificates and commissioning records.

Does Solar100 Guarantee Every Installation?

Solar100 Verification is intended to support the provider comparison process, but it is not an unconditional guarantee of every project outcome.

Solar100 uses five core verification areas:

1. SEDA Certified
2. SSM Registered
3. Gov Policy Compliant
4. O&M Support
5. Free Quote & Consult

These areas help users identify participating companies based on business, compliance and service-related considerations.

What Is the Difference Between Solar100 and a Solar Installer?

This distinction helps customers understand which party is responsible at each stage of the solar project.

Why Use Solar100 Instead of Contacting One Installer?

Solar100 may be useful for customers who want to explore and compare different participating providers before making a decision.

Comparing providers can reveal differences in:

• Recommended solar system size
• Solar panel and inverter brands
• Estimated electricity generation
• Installation scope
• Warranty coverage
• Maintenance support
• Payment terms
• Total project cost

A lower quotation does not always offer better value if it includes different equipment, shorter warranties, limited application support or fewer after-sales services.

Can Solar100 Help Identify a Suitable Provider?

Solar100 may help identify participating solar companies using information such as:

• Property location
• Residential or commercial project type
• Electricity bill range
• Roof or building information
• Requested solar service
• Provider service coverage

The final suitability of a provider depends on its technical assessment, availability, proposed system, project experience and contractual terms.

What Information Should I Prepare?

Preparing accurate property and electricity information can help solar companies provide a more relevant initial assessment.

Before requesting a quotation, prepare:

• Property location
• Property type
• Recent electricity bills
• Approximate daytime electricity usage
• Roof type or available roof space
• Roof photos, where available
• Preferred installation timeline
• Residential or commercial requirements
• Existing electrical system information
• Details of any existing solar equipment
