Have you ever thought about getting a solar system malaysia and wondered, “Who can I trust to put all those expensive panels on my roof?” You’re not alone. It’s not only about someone who can use a wrench. Certifications are very significant.
The Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST) Registered Electrical Service Contractor is the best in Malaysia by a long shot. Get out of there if an installer isn’t registered with ST (or at least don’t let them near your fuse box). Why? Because Malaysia’s Energy Commission, Suruhanjaya Tenaga, has engineers who must approve each system that is connected to the grid. No connection without a certificate.
Next, check to see if they have SEDA accreditation. That is the name of the organization that works on sustainable energy development. You need a SEDA Certified PV Service Provider to make a contract with the Net Energy Metering (NEM) program. SEDA is more than just a cool name; it ensures sure that any solar work done under the NEM program is safe and lawful. Don’t trust somebody who can talk you into things but doesn’t have the papers.
You have to deal with this: GCPV stands for photovoltaic systems that are connected to the grid. The persons who work for your installer should have taken the Grid-Connected PV System Design & Installation Course. SEDA offers this course to make sure that electricians and engineers know more than just the technical terms. Without this, things go wrong, including wiring that isn’t right, installations that aren’t sturdy, or panels that are left at the wrong angle and roast in the sun for no reason.
What are qualifications that are recognized over the world? Not necessary, but a lovely touch. Some techies brag off their credentials, such the NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) or training from the Clean Energy Council in Australia. That’s great, but Malaysian law doesn’t require it. It still demonstrates that the installer cares about their work.
In short, make sure your installer can show you the ST registration, SEDA certification, and GCPV training. International extras and CIDB are the icing on the cake. Don’t let nice words and low prices fool you. If something goes wrong, you have to deal with it, your roof, and your money. Not having a certification can quickly give you difficulties you don’t need.
