FAQ | Ecorise Solar

1. How does a solar PV system work?

Solar panels convert sunlight into DC electricity. Inverters then convert it into AC power for use in homes or businesses. Excess energy may be stored or exported depending on your scheme (ATAP or SELCO).

2. Will solar panels work during cloudy or rainy days?

Yes, but output is reduced during cloudy weather. At night, panels don’t generate electricity—battery storage or grid connection is needed.

3. Will I still receive an electricity bill?

Yes. Even with solar, you remain connected to the grid. Your bill may show reduced charges or credits depending on your energy usage and export.

4. How long do solar panels last?

Most panels have a lifespan of 25–30 years and come with performance warranties to ensure long-term efficiency.

5. What are the environmental benefits of solar energy?

Solar reduces carbon emissions, improves air quality, and supports a cleaner energy future.

6. Is solar safe for my home or business?

Yes—when installed by qualified professionals using certified components. EcoRise follows strict safety protocols and offers maintenance packages for long-term peace of mind.

1. Is my home suitable for solar?

Homes with unobstructed roof space and monthly bills above RM200 are ideal. We conducts site assessments to confirm feasibility.

2. What is the ATAP scheme for homeowners?

ATAP (Accelerated Transition Action Programme) is Malaysia’s new rooftop solar initiative replacing NEM. It allows homeowners to install solar systems that can offset up to 100% of their electricity usage.

3. What is the SELCO scheme?

SELCO (Self-Consumption) allows you to generate and use solar energy entirely on-site, without exporting to the grid. It’s ideal for homes that want to reduce bills without relying on net metering.

4. What components are included in a residential solar system?

Typically: solar panels, inverter, mounting structure, wiring, and optionally, battery storage.

5. How much does solar cost?

Costs vary by system size and roof type. Financing options include cash, loans, and leasing. We provides transparent quotes with ROI modeling.

6. How much can I save on my electricity bills?

Savings vary by usage and system size. Many homeowners reduce bills by 50–90% under ATAP or SELCO.

7. What happens to solar energy when I’m not home?

If you’re under ATAP or NEM, excess energy is exported to the grid and credited to your account. Under SELCO, systems are optimized for internal consumption, with no export to the grid permitted.

8. What is the installation process?

It includes site assessment, system design, installation, grid connection, and commissioning.

9. Do I need to replace my roof first?

If your roof is old or damaged, replacement may be recommended before installation. We will advise during the site visit.

10. How do I maintain my solar system?

Malaysia’s rainfall helps keep panels clean, but periodic inspections are recommended. We offers maintenance packages for added assurance.

11. What happens if I sell my house?

Solar systems can increase property value. Ownership transfer or relocation options are available.

1. How can solar benefit my business?

Solar reduces operating costs, improves ESG scores, and enhances brand image.

2. What is ATAP for C&I users?

ATAP allows businesses to offset up to 100% of their maximum demand with solar. It replaces NEM NOVA.What is ATAP for businesses?

3. What is SELCO for C&I users?

SELCO enables full on-site consumption of solar energy without exporting to the grid. It’s ideal for businesses with high daytime loads and internal energy use.

4. What is the typical ROI for commercial solar?

Payback periods range from 4–7 years depending on tariff rates and system size.

5. Can I expand my system later?

Yes—EcoRise designs systems with future expansion in mind.

1. What documents are needed to start?

Electricity bills, site photos, and proof of ownership or tenancy are usually required.

2. What is the maximum system size I can install?

For residential: up to 12 kWp (single-phase) or 72 kWp (three-phase). For C&I: up to 75% of maximum demand or 60% of fuse/CT rating.

3. Are there hidden costs?

No. EcoRise provides transparent pricing, including installation, approvals, and optional upgrades.

4. What if I generate more energy than I use?

Under ATAP, you can offset up to 100% of your usage. Under SELCO, excess energy is not exported, so system sizing is optimized for internal use.

5. What financing options are available?

You can pay via cash, solar loans, or power purchase agreements (PPAs). EcoRise helps assess the best fit

6. Should I install solar batteries?

Batteries are optional. They help store excess energy for night use or backup during outages. We offers battery-ready systems
