Solar100 helps Malaysian homeowners and businesses prepare solar project information, discover participating providers, review verification details and compare solar quotations before selecting an installer.
Why Use Solar100 Before Choosing a Solar Installer?
Choosing a solar installer involves more than finding a company name or selecting the lowest price. Solar100 helps users prepare their project, discover participating providers and compare quotations using more consistent technical, commercial and service-related criteria.
What Are the Main Reasons to Use Solar100?
Solar100 is designed to make the early stages of choosing a solar installer more organised and easier to compare.
Prepare Project Information
Understand which electricity bills, roof details and project objectives may be required before requesting a quotation.
Discover Providers
Find participating solar companies according to location, property type and required solar service.
Review Verification
Consider available Solar100 Verification information when reviewing participating providers.
Compare Quotations
Compare system size, equipment, warranties, project scope and total price using similar categories.
Ask Better Questions
Identify missing information, unclear exclusions and important points that should be confirmed before signing.
Make a More Informed Choice
Review the complete proposal instead of relying only on an advertised price or a single sales presentation.
Solar100 Helps You Prepare Your Project Properly
A solar installer normally needs more than your name and telephone number to understand the project.
Preparing the correct information early can reduce repeated questions and make the quotations easier to compare.
Useful information may include:
- Property or facility address
- Residential or commercial property type
- Recent electricity bills
- Monthly electricity consumption
- Daytime electricity usage
- Roof type and available area
- Roof condition and age
- Roof photographs
- Shading or access limitations
- Preferred installation timeline
- Future electricity requirements
- Battery requirements, where relevant
Solar100 Helps You Discover Relevant Participating Providers
Not every solar company serves every location or handles every type of project.
Solar100 may help identify participating providers based on factors such as:
- State, city or service area
- Residential or commercial project type
- Required solar service
- Estimated project scale
- Property or roof type
- Provider service coverage
- Commercial or industrial capability
- O&M service availability
- Current provider availability
- Information submitted with the enquiry
This helps narrow the initial search, but it is not a final technical recommendation or automatic endorsement of a particular quotation.
Solar100 Provides Additional Verification Information
A Solar100 Verified Partner is a participating solar company that has completed Solar100’s screening process based on the information and supporting documents reviewed.
Solar100 uses five core verification areas:
- SEDA Certified
- SSM Registered
- Gov Policy Compliant
- O&M Support
- Free Quote & Consult
Verification information gives users an additional reference when reviewing participating companies.
Business Identification
Users can consider available company registration and business information when reviewing the provider.
Solar-Related Information
Relevant certification, provider capability and solar service information may be reviewed.
Policy Considerations
Providers are expected to work with regard to applicable solar programme and project requirements.
Support Arrangements
O&M, after-sales, quotation and consultation arrangements may be considered during the review.
Solar100 Helps You Compare Solar Quotations More Consistently
Solar quotations can look similar while covering very different systems, equipment and installation work.
Solar100 encourages users to compare proposals using solar-specific categories.
| Comparison Area | What to Review | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| System Capacity | Proposed capacity in kWp and the reason it was selected | Affects panel quantity, generation and project price |
| Generation Estimate | Estimated annual output and calculation assumptions | Helps determine whether projections are realistic |
| Solar Panels | Brand, model, wattage, quantity and warranty | Different products may have different specifications and support |
| Inverter | Brand, model, capacity, type and monitoring platform | Influences system operation, monitoring and maintenance |
| Installation Scope | Mounting, wiring, electrical work, access and waterproofing | Missing work may create additional charges later |
| Applications | Documents, submissions, responsibilities and included fees | Clarifies which party handles administrative work |
| Warranties | Product, performance, inverter and workmanship coverage | Determines the protection available after installation |
| O&M Support | Monitoring, inspection, maintenance and response arrangements | Important for long-term system support |
| Payment Terms | Deposit, progress payments and final payment conditions | Helps users understand financial commitments |
| Total Project Price | Complete price, exclusions, optional charges and taxes | Supports a more accurate financial comparison |
Solar100 Helps You Avoid Choosing by Price Alone
The cheapest quotation is not automatically the most suitable quotation.
A lower price may reflect:
- A smaller proposed system
- Different equipment specifications
- Shorter warranty periods
- Limited installation scope
- Excluded electrical work
- Excluded application services
- Optional monitoring equipment
- Additional roof-related charges
- Limited O&M support
- Different payment requirements
Before selecting the lowest quotation, check whether the proposals are actually covering a similar system and project scope.
Solar100 Helps You Know What Questions to Ask
Customers may not know which details should be clarified before accepting a solar proposal.
- Why is this system capacity being recommended?
- Which electricity bills and usage data were reviewed?
- What annual generation is estimated?
- What assumptions were used in the calculation?
- What exact solar panel model is included?
- What exact inverter model is included?
- What installation and electrical work is included?
- Are application and submission services included?
- What work or costs are excluded?
- Who provides each warranty?
- Who handles O&M and warranty claims?
- Will any work be subcontracted?

The final technical assessment and quotation are prepared directly by the participating solar provider.
What Does Solar100 Not Do?
Solar100 is a provider discovery and quotation comparison platform. It is not the installer, equipment manufacturer, utility provider, engineering consultant or approval authority for an individual project.
Solar100 does not automatically:
- Design the final solar system
- Issue the final technical quotation
- Carry out the physical installation
- Approve solar applications
- Manufacture solar panels or inverters
- Guarantee a fixed electricity saving
- Guarantee financial returns
- Guarantee project completion dates
- Approve warranty claims
- Choose the final installer for the customer
What Is the Customer’s Final Responsibility?
Solar100 can support the selection process, but the final decision remains with the customer.
