Malaysia Solar Price Index: Dated Residential Package Listings

Residential package listings by size

These public listings were captured as dated price bands for residential package sizes. The reported median is the median of the quoted midpoints in each size class; counts identify the offers and sites in that class. All six rows were reviewed 2026-09-29 ^{[source] [source] [source] [source] [source] [source]}.

One separate 7–9 kWp advertisement

GetSolar’s page, updated 22 August 2026, states prices as of March 2026 and lists RM26,000–RM38,000 for a semi-detached 7–9 kWp system ^[source]. This is one advertiser’s range, not a 9 kWp market band or median, a current quote, or proof that it matches another proposal’s scope.

These are advertised listings, not transaction prices, current market averages, our prices or offers for your home. The range does not establish that packages include equivalent equipment or work. Do not treat a class median as a target price.

Use the rows when comparing proposals

Start with actual bill kWh and billing days, supply phase, roof and daytime load. Ask providers to state panel capacity in kWp and inverter output in kWac separately, then list models, roof work, wiring, application responsibility, fees, taxes, exclusions and warranties. A system label or monthly bill amount alone does not establish a suitable size or price.

Once a site design is proposed, request its complete installed price and one smaller option; ask for a larger option only if the roof, phase and usage profile support it. Compare both against the same bill and period: expected generation, daytime self-use, credited exports, remaining bill and total project cost. For the larger design, weigh the added installed cost against the extra self-use/export-credit value stated in the proposal—not against a size-class median alone.

The capture contains one reviewed reading per size class, so it cannot show a month-over-month trend. A trend needs a later reading for the same class gathered on a comparable basis.

The price-list request this index can—and cannot—answer

A Lowyat forum post on 6 May 2019 asked for a reference price list for 4, 8 and 12 kW “under NEM” (original question). That is evidence of a past size-comparison question, not proof that NEM or those prices still apply. This index has nearby classes around 3, 5, 6.6, 8, 10 and 13 kWp; it has no exact 4 or 12 kWp row and does not remap that old request to current programme terms. The 4.0 kW calculator-display page covers one 4.0 kW output from a separate record. This sample has no specific 12 kWp price, so do not interpolate between nearby classes.

How this price sample was assembled

The index is not one set of directly comparable offers. Each row combines public pages dated in 2026 that list a package around that capacity class; only listed prices, “from” prices and ranges are included. Worked examples, historical or illustrative figures, and net-of-rebate figures are excluded. The band uses the lowest and highest qualifying figures, while the median is the median of the collected quote midpoints. That median describes this advertisement sample only: it is not a forecast of your bill, a verified typical price or a provider offer. Offer and site counts differ by size; the 13 kWp row has only three sites, so its evidence base is not as broad as rows with more sources. ^{[source] [source] [source] [source] [source] [source]}
