Get the size right, then compare complete quotations
For a new home installation, start with a system designed around your electricity use, then choose between complete written quotes. If an installer proposes around 5 kWp, the dated advertising sample gives RM15,000–RM30,000 and a median of RM19,499 as initial budget references. [source] A larger system deserves an explanation of what you will use during the day, not just how many panels fit on the roof.
For a landed home in Peninsular Malaysia, you can start with Verdant through the named referral button, then compare its proposal with another installer using the same equipment and work checklist. The button opens Verdant’s registration page; Verdant confirms site suitability and the proposed scope. Betulkex may receive a referral commission, disclosed beside the button.
| Approximate panel capacity | Recorded band | Median | How to use the row |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 kWp | RM6,000–RM18,000 | RM13,500 | Compare after the installer proposes this size. [source] |
| 5 kWp | RM15,000–RM30,000 | RM19,499 | Start a budget for a proposal around this size. [source] |
| 6.6 kWp | RM17,999–RM38,000 | RM22,374 | Compare equipment and roof work within the proposed size. [source] |
| 8 kWp | RM20,499–RM45,000 | RM26,900 | Ask why this capacity suits your consumption. [source] |
| 10 kWp | RM22,999–RM60,000+ | RM36,250 | Use the separate 10 kW guide for capacity and quote checks. [source] |
| 13 kWp | RM25,499–RM60,000 | RM38,000 | Request a design and consumption explanation for this larger proposal. [source] |
These are capacity classes, not recommendations for a terrace, semi-D or bungalow. House type alone cannot choose system size. The 10 kWp plus sign preserves open-ended seller ranges; it is not a cap on your quote. [source] One retailer separately advertised RM3,000–RM4,500 per kW, or RM15,000–RM25,000 for a typical 5 kW system; keep that seller’s reference separate from the sample above. [source]
A named competing price list helps you ask better questions
Trexon Energy’s page, updated March 2026, showed the following package cards and size-list rows. Different rows at the same nominal capacity have different listing contexts. When you see a price you like, ask the provider to identify the exact equipment, inclusions and current offer that corresponds to it.
| Listing row | Displayed price | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| 6.82 kWp, size table | RM20,499 | [source] |
| 6.82 kWp, complete 2026 list | RM17,999 | [source] |
| 8.68 kWp, Standard package card | RM22,999 | [source] |
| 8.68 kWp, complete 2026 list | RM20,499 | [source] |
| 10.54 kWp, Premium package card | RM28,999 | [source] |
| 10.54 kWp, size-table row | RM25,999 | [source] |
| 10.54 kWp, complete 2026 list | RM22,999 | [source] |
| 13.02 kWp, Elite package card | RM32,999 | [source] |
| 12.40 kWp, complete 2026 list | RM25,499 | [source] |
| 14.88 kWp, complete 2026 list | RM28,499 | [source] |
Do not use the lowest displayed row as a ready-to-buy offer. Instead, ask for that capacity and equipment to be quoted for your home, then compare it with Verdant’s or another installer’s itemised proposal. An advertisement saying registration is included still needs a written explanation of application fees and additional site work.
Compare these items before choosing an installer
| Item | Ask both providers to write down | Your decision |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity and equipment | Panel model, quantity and total kWp; inverter model and kWac | Compare the actual configuration at the size proposed for your use. |
| Roof and electrical work | Mounting, waterproofing, access/scaffolding, cable route, protection and distribution-board changes | Have extra work priced before comparing totals. |
| Application | Who submits, which fees are included and who pays for extra checks | The cited Solar ATAP application fee is RM7.50 per kWac and non-refundable; avoid counting it twice. [source] |
| Warranty and service | Separate equipment and workmanship cover, roof-leak responsibility, service period and later charges | Choose clear claim responsibility, not just a long warranty headline. |
| Insurance, if offered | Policy/document, insured parties, assets and period, risks, limits/excess, exclusions, fees and claims process | Separate insurance from product and workmanship warranties; mark cover unconfirmed if no document is provided. |
| Payment | Total payable, deposit, milestones, finance charges, asset ownership and exclusions | Compare full cost and obligations, as well as any monthly payment. |
If two offers match the necessary equipment and work, the lower total is a sensible starting preference. If one omits roof access or distribution-board work, have those items added before deciding. Keep the written scope and quote expiry with the contract. Check the provider’s applicable registration when signing and ask who handles roof leaks or the removal of panels for later roof repairs.
Separate insurance from warranty
A panel, inverter or installation-work warranty does not by itself prove insurance against damage, theft or liability. Do not assume the package includes insurance or that an existing home policy covers the PV system. If a provider or insurer offers cover, request documents naming the insured parties, equipment/location, period and start date, covered risks, limits/excess, exclusions, cost and claims contact. Ask in writing what is and is not covered during delivery, installation, commissioning and operation; do not infer that cover extends from one phase or party to another.
Keep the SuRIA rebate separate from the money you must pay
The cited SuRIA Home rebate is RM600 per kWac, capped at RM3,000, for domestic Solar ATAP customers who are Malaysian citizens and have not received the earlier SolaRIS cash rebate. The stated window is 1 June–31 December 2026, first-come, first-served; commissioning must occur by 31 December or before the allocation is exhausted, whichever comes first. Payment goes to the registered TNB customer’s local bank account after TNB’s email. Confirm eligibility, available allocation and payment steps before deducting it from your budget. [source] [source] [source]
Ask the installer for the amount payable before the rebate, rather than treating a possible later payment as an automatic discount. Application fees and capacity units also need their own lines; panel kWp and inverter AC output serve different purposes.
What about savings, maintenance and a battery?
Ask the proposal to show generation assumptions, daytime self-use, export treatment, applicable bill components and recurring costs. Trexon’s package pages contain seller savings and payback claims; those remain the seller’s forecasts, not a result measured for your home. [source] [source] [source] [source]
A package total cannot tell you the cleaning and maintenance cost over ownership. Ask what service is included, for how long, and what comes after. If you need blackout backup, request a separately priced battery design with exact models, usable capacity, supported circuits and warranty responsibility. A low monthly bill and a backup requirement are different reasons to buy; compare the designs for your own purpose.
Start a home-installation enquiry
Have your location and latest electricity usage ready. Register with Verdant through the referral button and ask for a written design and quote using the worksheet. Compare it with another proposal before paying a deposit. The route is for a new landed-home installation in Peninsular Malaysia; business projects, equipment-only purchases and battery servicing need their own provider-confirmed scope.

Frequently asked questions
What does a 10 kWp home system cost?
The dated advertised residential band was RM22,999–60,000+, with a midpoint median of RM36,250 [source]. It is not a quote for your property.
Does a displayed package price guarantee my final cost?
No. Roof access, wiring, equipment, authority submissions and exclusions vary. Obtain a written site-specific price and scope.
Does a RM40,000 quote include cleaning and maintenance, and what is the total cost over 15 years?
The package total alone does not answer that. Ask the provider to state in writing which service work is included, any included service period, later schedule or charges, exclusions, and who handles equipment and workmanship warranty claims. Do not assume free service or zero maintenance cost; compare the same scope and period.
What solar-system damage does insurance cover, for how long, and what is excluded?
Do not assume insurance is included in a package price or is the same as equipment or workmanship warranty. If insurance is offered, ask for the current document naming the insured parties, covered assets and period, start date, covered risks, limits and excess, exclusions, premium or fees, claim process and who files the claim. Without written terms, coverage is unconfirmed.
