What Happens After Signing the Solar Contract: Before & During the Solar Installation Process  

Now that you’ve signed up to invest in solar power for your home, you might be wondering what’s next. Your clean energy solutionist will work on getting your system ready, which begins with submitting your clean energy applications for the Net Energy Metering (NEM) Rakyat scheme and to the local authorities (SEDA Malaysia and your electricity distribution provider) to ensure your home solar PV system gets the necessary approvals before the installation of your solar PV system. 

Once these local authorities have approved your solar PV applications, the installation of your system can now begin! You will receive a call to inform you of the system installation date, as well as the implementation of the NEM meter by your electricity distribution provider.  

All you need to do after signing and making the first payment is to wait for the system installation to begin and your solutionist will take care of the rest!  

Post-Installation & After-Sales Services: What’s Next for Your Solar PV System? 

Your system is complete! Before you take a huge sigh of relief, be sure to check with your clean energy solutionist about the after-sales maintenance services which includes the following:  

• Remote Monitoring of the Energy Generated by Your System  
• Product Warranties  
• Defect(s) Liability Period (DLP)  
• Preventive Maintenance Service & Solar Panel Cleaning   

As an owner of the solar PV system, it is important to ensure with your solutionist that the above factors of the maintenance are included in your package when you sign up for the system or if they incur any additional charges.  

Make sure your maintenance warranties cover inverters, cleaning of solar panels, preventive, workmanship and equipment costs. While there are providers who assure you of the maintenance warranties for the solar PV panels on top of an affordable price for solar for home, keep the rest of your system and these factors in mind as an inclusive maintenance warranty is necessary to save you from paying a lot more.
