Net Energy Metering (NEM) was a government scheme that let solar users export extra energy to the grid in exchange for 1-to-1 energy credits.
It helped reduce electricity bills by offsetting solar exports against grid usage. However, the NEM 3.0 programme officially ended on 30 June 2025, and no new applications are being accepted.

A renewable energy certificate (REC) validates and quantifies the environmental benefits of generating electricity from renewable sources. It allows individuals and businesses to claim that a portion of their electricity consumption supports renewable energy generation, aiding in sustainability efforts and reducing carbon footprints.
RECs also help comply with regulatory requirements and voluntary standards related to renewable energy targets. Financially, RECs provide revenue for renewable energy producers, promoting investment in renewable energy projects and technologies.

Yes, excess energy may be exported to the grid, but it depends on the prevailing regulations from TNB and SEDA. Unlike the old NEM programme, there is no guaranteed 1-to-1 credit.
The main savings today come from self-consumption, meaning the more solar energy you use during the day, the lower your electricity bill. Our team will advise you on the latest export rules during consultation.

In sunny Malaysia, most rooftops are a great match for solar panels. However, if your roof is very steep or has a complex design with multiple angles or dormer windows, panel placement can be trickier and may add some extra costs.
It’s always a good idea to have our GetSolar pros take a look to ensure feasibility. Simply reach out to us on WhatsApp or our solar calculator for a consultation.

Typically roofs are built to withstand human weight, with a point load of at least 100 kg/m2 (for concrete roofs, at least around 250 kg/m2). Since our solar panel systems are usually between 30-50 kg/m2 (maximum 70 kg/m2 with concrete ballasts weighing them down on concrete roofs), there wouldn’t be any issues.
However for the cautious, you can also reach out to your main contractor or Qualified Professional (QP) for your home or building to double check on this.

For safety reasons, standard grid-tied solar systems automatically shut down during a power outage.
This prevents electricity from being sent back into the grid while utility workers are conducting repairs.
If you require backup power during outages, a battery system can be installed to provide stored electricity to selected circuits in your home.

Read our step-by-step guide on solar panel installations to learn more.
Solar panel systems, being hardwired with minimal moving parts, require little maintenance. However, we usually recommend our customers to think of solar panel maintenance like air-conditioning maintenance. It is always best to do this regularly even if the system is still performing, in order to detect or fix any issues early before it results in more serious problems.
The frequency of cleaning and maintenance can vary depending on factors like roof slope, building location, and environmental debris, however GetSolar recommends doing a preventive maintenance once every 1-1.5 years, as well as corrective or ad-hoc maintenance where needed.
If you’ve installed solar panels through our Rent-To-Own program (for residential owners) or Power Purchase Agreement (for commercial property owners), you won’t have to worry about any of this, as we’ve got you covered with free regular inspections and maintenance as part of your plan. Our worry-free solar plans also include all repairs, servicing and a performance guarantee so there will not be any out-of-pocket costs related to the solar system over the lifetime of your contract.
For those who made an upfront purchase, simply reach out to our team, and we’ll arrange maintenance sessions for you, with a little extra cost.

There are 2 main types of warranties when it comes to solar panels, under which manufacturers are obliged to provide a 1-for-1 replacement:
These warranties are usually registered directly with the manufacturers. However, you can rely on your solar installers to liaise with the manufacturers and handle any replacements covered by the warranties on your behalf.
At GetSolar, on top of offering these product warranties, we also provide a guarantee to all customers which encompasses the following:

Our Rent-To-Own (RTO) model is fully serviced. Under our guarantee, we cover all repairs, maintenance, and warranties over your contract period.
On top of this, we provide a performance guarantee. If your system generates less than the guaranteed energy due to unforeseen circumstances (like unusual dips in sunlight), we will investigate, rectify, and pay for the shortfall.
A 100% fuss-free system with no out-of-pocket costs.

At the end of your Rent-To-Own term, ownership of the system automatically transfer to you, and it’ll be yours to keep, continuing to provide you with power savings into the future! All our panels carry a 25-30 year warranty, while our inverters have 10 year warranties, and these warranties will still continue to be valid after your Rent-To-Own term is over
Do note however that our comprehensive maintenance, servicing and performance guarantee coverage will end after the contract has expired. However, if you’re interested to extend your Rent-To-Own coverage, or are looking for ad-hoc maintenance visits, feel free to reach out to us!

A solar loan or instalment plan are mainly financing plans that allow you to get solar with little to no initial payment. However, if there are any issues with your rooftop solar system, maintenance or repair costs will still be separately charged by your installers.
Under our Rent-to-Own model, we finance, install and maintain the rooftop solar system on your behalf, covering all out-of-pocket costs including repairs and warranties. On top of this, we also provide you with a performance guarantee and pay you for the difference if the system does not produce the expected amount of energy.

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) represent proof that electricity has been generated from renewable sources, such as solar energy.
Each REC typically corresponds to 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable electricity generated.
RECs are commonly used by companies to meet sustainability targets and reduce their reported carbon footprint.

When a solar system generates electricity, the renewable attribute of that energy can be issued as a REC under approved certification schemes.
The electricity itself is used on-site or exported to the grid, while the REC represents the environmental benefit of generating clean energy.
