Solar100 helps Malaysian homeowners find residential solar installers, compare provider services and request solar quotations based on location, electricity usage, property type and roof information.
How Does Solar100 Help Homeowners Find Solar Installers in Malaysia?
Solar100 helps Malaysian homeowners find and compare participating solar installation companies based on their property location, electricity usage, roof information and project requirements.
Why Can Finding a Solar Installer Be Difficult?
Different solar companies may recommend different system capacities, equipment brands, projected generation figures and installation scopes for the same property.
One provider may recommend a smaller system, while another may propose a larger installation. The quotations may also include different solar panel brands, inverter types, warranty periods and approval services.
This makes it difficult to compare providers using the total price alone.
Different System Sizes
Proposed capacity may vary based on electricity consumption, roof space and each provider’s design assumptions.
Different Equipment
Quotations may include different solar panel models, inverter types, mounting systems and monitoring tools.
Different Warranties
Product, performance, inverter and workmanship warranties may have different issuers, periods and conditions.
Different Project Scopes
Some quotations may include applications, electrical upgrades and maintenance support, while others may exclude them.
A complete comparison should consider:
- Proposed system capacity
- Estimated electricity generation
- Solar panel and inverter models
- Installation and electrical scope
- Warranty coverage
- Maintenance and after-sales support
- Payment terms
- Items excluded from the quotation
What Information Does Solar100 Need?
Solar100 may request basic information to help identify participating residential solar providers that could be relevant to the homeowner’s location and project.
- Property location
- Property type
- Monthly electricity bill range
- Roof type
- Available roof area
- Approximate daytime electricity usage
- Preferred installation timeline
- Contact details
- Roof photos, where available
- Existing solar or electrical information
Accurate information helps providers understand the enquiry before contacting the homeowner.
How Does the Solar100 Process Work?
- Submit Property Details
Provide the location, property type, electricity bill and basic solar requirements. - Identify Providers
Relevant participating companies may be identified based on location and project type. - Receive Consultation
A provider may review bills, roof conditions and the homeowner’s project objectives. - Obtain a Proposal
The provider prepares an initial or final quotation based on its assessment. - Compare Options
Review the proposed system, equipment, warranties, services and total project scope.
Submitting an enquiry through Solar100 does not require the homeowner to accept a quotation, make payment or sign a contract.
How Does Solar100 Match Homeowners With Solar Providers?
Solar100 may consider several factors when identifying participating companies that could be relevant to a residential solar enquiry.
- State, city or service area
- Residential property type
- Electricity bill range
- Roof or building information
- Requested solar service
- Provider service coverage
- Estimated project size
- Provider availability
A provider appearing relevant during the initial matching stage does not automatically mean it is the final best choice for the homeowner.
Homeowners should still review the company’s technical proposal, credentials, equipment, warranty support and contract terms.
What Residential Properties May Be Suitable for Solar?
Residential rooftop solar may be considered for different types of landed homes, subject to roof, structural and electrical suitability.
A solar provider may also assess:
- Usable roof space
- Roof direction and angle
- Roof condition
- Shading from trees or buildings
- Structural suitability
- Existing electrical system
- Household electricity consumption
- Applicable installation requirements
Properties with similar monthly electricity bills may still require different solar system designs.
Can Condominium Owners Use Solar100?
Condominium and apartment owners may submit a solar enquiry, but the installation process can be more complex than for landed residential properties.
Possible considerations include:
- Ownership of the roof area
- Management approval
- Joint Management Body requirements
- Management Corporation requirements
- Common-area electricity usage
- Shared electricity arrangements
- Building electrical infrastructure
- Available installation space
What Does a Solar Provider Check Before Recommending a System?
A solar provider should review relevant property and electricity information before recommending a residential solar system.
- Recent electricity bills
- Daytime energy consumption
- Available roof space
- Roof direction and angle
- Shading conditions
- Roof material and condition
- Electrical distribution board
- Customer budget
- Electricity savings objectives
- Preferred equipment or system type
A proper recommendation should explain why the proposed system capacity is suitable for the property.
What Should Be Included in a Residential Solar Quotation?
A residential solar quotation should clearly state the proposed equipment, installation work, warranties, payment terms and exclusions.
- System capacity in kWp
- Number of solar panels
- Solar panel brand and model
- Inverter brand and model
- Mounting system
- Estimated annual generation
- Monitoring system
- Installation work
- Electrical work
- Application services
- Product warranty
- Performance warranty
- Inverter warranty
- Workmanship warranty
- Payment schedule
- Expected project timeline
- Excluded items
- Total installed price
Homeowners should request clarification when important information is missing, unclear or provided only verbally.
How Should Homeowners Compare Solar Quotations?
Solar quotations should be compared using the same categories rather than price alone.
| Comparison Area | What to Check |
|---|---|
| System Size | Proposed capacity in kWp and the reason for the recommendation |
| Generation | Estimated annual electricity production and calculation assumptions |
| Solar Panels | Exact brand, model, wattage, product warranty and performance warranty |
| Inverter | Exact brand, model, system type, monitoring and warranty coverage |
| Installation | Roof mounting, waterproofing, wiring and electrical scope |
| Warranty | Product, performance, inverter and workmanship coverage |
| Monitoring | Mobile app, online portal and monitoring equipment included |
| Applications | Processes, documentation and fees included in the quotation |
| Maintenance | Inspection, cleaning, O&M and warranty claim support |
| Price | Total installed price, payment terms and all excluded items |
A lower quotation may not provide better value if it includes a smaller system, different equipment, shorter warranties or less after-sales support.
