If your monthly TNB bill is around RM400, you may be wondering: how much should solar installation cost, and what solar system size do I actually need?
This Solar100 calculator gives you a simple starting estimate based on your monthly electricity bill, residential supply type and daytime electricity usage. It is designed for homeowners who have not received a quotation yet and want to understand a reasonable solar installation cost range before speaking to installers.
For a RM400 monthly TNB bill, many Malaysian homes may start by checking a solar system around 4kWp to 6kWp, with a rough installation cost range around RM16,000 to RM28,000. The final cost depends on system size, roof condition, panel brand, inverter brand, warranty, workmanship and whether additional work is needed.

This is a simple estimate only. Actual solar installation cost depends on roof condition, system design, panel brand, inverter brand, warranty, workmanship, application requirements and installer quotation.
For a RM400 TNB Bill, How Much Solar Installation Cost Is Reasonable?
If your monthly TNB bill is around RM400, a reasonable solar installation estimate usually starts by checking whether a 4kWp to 6kWp system makes sense for your home. This does not mean every RM400 bill needs the same solar package. Two homes with the same bill may have very different usage patterns.
For example, a home that uses electricity mainly at night may not need the same system size as a home where people stay at home during the day, use air-conditioning, water pumps, kitchen equipment or work-from-home devices. Daytime usage matters because solar panels generate electricity during sunlight hours.
Do not decide based on installation price alone. A low price may come with smaller system size, cheaper inverter, shorter warranty or weaker after-sales support. A higher price may still be reasonable if it includes better equipment, roof work, stronger workmanship or battery-ready design.
