RE: The Most Powerful Solar Panel In the World
Why isn't SEDA pushing the net metering program harder and enabling more people to actually participate in Malaysia? @khimgoh
SEDA is promoting but nobody is taking because net metering is very financially unattractive.
Say your solar power system costs RM 50,000 and you save RM 200 per month because you participated in net metering. That's like paying 20 years of electricity bills in advance.
The net metering program in Malaysia started in 2016 and was open to 100 MW worth of applications, only 8 was taken up.
Seems net metering in California is sorta causing a problem . They have all this excess power during the day time around solar noon. I seen a article that one state was incentive's people getting the tesla power wall for around 1k (still the power companies) they could use it if they needed these reserves . Would be a great idea . You could buy one for your own backup . Problems require solutions that would be a good solution that benefits both you and the juice company.
Thanks @nokiasixteth.
Net metering is causing a problem in California because solar is creating excess power during the day when nobody is at home to use it.
I would need a utility engineer to consult me on this one. In my mind, the excess power would not be wasted because net metering systems are grid connected. The grid is an efficient tool to distribute electricity to whoever needs electricity instantaneously.
One state is incentivizing people to get a TESLA power wall for around US$1,000.
Cool. Which state is this?
Problems require solutions that are win-win.
Agree.
