Tired of spending more for electricity each year? Well you are not alone. Did you know that the electricity rates rise by around 5.3 percent on average each year. Don't worry though, with SOLS Energy solar panel systems, you can slash your power bills by up to 90%!

This can easily add up to RM1,000's saved annually - meaning your solar system completely pays for itself in just 5-6 years! It is time that Malaysians focus on solar projects to create clean and renewable energy. From your refrigerator to your air conditioner, solar panels can power all of it.

More than 7 years ago, SOLS Energy had a clear vision – to live on a planet where clean and affordable energy is accessible to anyone, anywhere. SOLS Energy is an innovative one-stop solution company that designs, distributes, maintains and installs high quality solar energy systems at a competitive rate.

In 2020, Petronas had inked an agreement with SOLS Energy Sdn Bhd to invest in their renewable energy start-up. Petronas believes that the SOLS Energy team has the passion and determination to propel the sustainable industry.

An investment for a lifetime

When considering solar energy for a home or business, many people would ask “how much does it cost to go solar?”. Instead of looking at solar as a purchase that has a cost, solar panels should be viewed as an investment.

Switching to clean solar energy can generate attractive financial benefits that rival the returns of other places you can put your money. A simpler way to look at the return on investment of solar panels is to ask, “How many years will it take for my solar panels to pay me back for the cost I paid?”.

Breaking misconception that Solar Power is expensive

While we're on the subject of expenses, let's debunk the notion that solar electricity is prohibitively expensive. It is actually cheaper than coal and natural gas, providing stable costs and an increasingly more affordable price.

Solar energy has advanced to the point that it can power entire data centres and factories. That’s a lot of energy! Thanks to advancements in battery technology, we can now store solar power even when the sun doesn't shine.

Tampering with your electric meter is considered electricity theft!

Meter tampering is usually associated with a utility customer that wants to reduce their electric bill. Residential and commercial customers have tried many tampering methods over the years because there is nothing wrong with saving money, right?

But believe it or not, as tempting as it sounds, you can get into a whole lot of trouble for trying to even tamper with your TNB metre. First is, this illegal activity can cause damage to your property, business and your neighbours' utility and it can be really dangerous.

Also remember meter tampering does not usually end on a happy note as you can potentially be found liable under section 37 of the Electricity Supply Act.

Every action counts

Solar energy is a form of renewable energy. This means that there is plenty of it to go around because it is an energy source that won’t run out (not for another few billion years anyway).

Fossil fuels on the other hand are a finite source of energy, and one that we damage the planet with when we mine and distribute it. By relying on solar panels, you are one less household or business that is relying on fossil fuels, and it can make a bigger impact than you might think.

Create more jobs opportunities

Did you know investing in clean energy can help economies recover from the slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic as it will add more jobs?

Green investments such as installing solar panels systems can be an important part of recovery packages, leading to job creation and positive economic outcomes. More people will be given the job opportunity in manufacturing, installing, operating and maintaining the solar panel systems.

SOLS Energy currently runs the first Solar Academy in Malaysia that offers technical skills in the solar industry and personal development training to local youth. Today, with more than 700 projects, the company is the leading solar installer for residential homes and is rapidly growing in the commercial sector.

Protect the environment

On top of that, installing a solar energy system at your home or business also helps reduce our dependence on nonrenewable sources of energy such as fossil fuels and coal. This is great for so many reasons.

First and foremost, those nonrenewable energy resources create a lot of the pollutants that negatively impact our air quality. Second, nonrenewable resources are nonrenewable because they will, eventually, run out. The sooner and more fully we can make the transition to renewable energy, the better for both us and the environment we are surrounded with.

Solar power shines a light on the great opportunity we have to tackle our nation’s carbon footprint, while investing in the economic well-being of communities across our county with new solar projects. As technology advances, we should be able to see more people enjoying the benefits of solar energy no matter where they live.Have you found yourself interested in solar panels?
