Mr. Lim, a homeowner in Penang, was facing increasing monthly electricity bills due to heavy AC and appliance usage in his double-storey home.
Despite being aware of solar, Mr. Lim was hesitant about the upfront costs and unclear on the long-term value. His main concerns were affordability, installation complexity, and system reliability.
Mr. Lim approached AQ Energy to discuss the possibilities of moving forward with solar, but wanted to know more about the long-term benefits and costs.
Since switching, Mr. Lim has reduced his electricity bills by 70% monthly and is projected to save over RM30,000 in 7 years. The RTO plan gave him peace of mind without financial strain, while contributing to a cleaner environment.

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. When sunlight hits the panels, it generates direct current (DC) electricity. This DC power is then sent to an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) – the type of electricity used by your home appliances. Once converted, the electricity can be used to power your home, and any excess energy can be stored in a battery (if installed) or exported back to the grid, depending on your system setup.
Yes, all our solar installations are fully legal and comply with local regulations. We handle all necessary approvals, including applications to the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB).
For hybrid solar systems with battery storage, we also manage the required applications and ensure full compliance with guidelines set by TNB and the Energy Commission (Suruhanjaya Tenaga, ST).
We calculate your savings based on current TNB tariff rates, based on the respective electricity bill that you have inserted to the estimator. The savings per month is averaged throughout the year, including monsoon (rainy) months and sunnier months. Our savings estimate is reinforced by the data that we collect from our previous customers through the system monitoring application.
That’s perfectly fine! Even if you’re not home during the day, your solar system will still generate electricity. For a grid-tied system, the excess energy you don’t use can be exported back to the grid under the Net Energy Metering (NEM) program, earning you credits to offset your electricity bill.
If you have a hybrid solar system with battery storage, the excess energy generated during the day will be stored in the battery. This stored power can then be used later in the evening or during power outages (on the backup load), giving you more flexibility and reducing your reliance on the grid.
Not necessarily. Solar panels are designed to be low-maintenance, and in most cases, rainwater helps keep them clean. We usually recommend cleaning them once every 2 to 3 years, depending on your area’s environment. If your panels are exposed to a lot of dust, bird droppings, or nearby construction, more frequent cleaning might help maintain performance.
