Ask for written assumptions

Key takeaway: Use this article to prepare better questions. A solar design, price, programme outcome or savings estimate must be confirmed for the individual property in a current written proposal.

A Solar ATAP application starts with your TNB account, electricity usage, property assessment and a proposal prepared by an appropriately registered provider.

The application process is easier when the technical and paperwork steps are planned in the correct order. Use this checklist before asking for a final solar quotation.

Step 1: Prepare Your Electricity Information

Collect recent TNB bills and note the account type, phase, monthly usage and daytime operating pattern. A bill alone does not determine the final system size, but it gives the installer a starting point.

Step 2: Complete the Site and Technical Review

Roof photographs and usable roof area
Shading, orientation and roof condition
Electrical connection and distribution-board condition
Proposed PV capacity and load profile
Any technical assessment required for the capacity

Step 3: Confirm the Submission and Handover Plan

Before signing, ask who prepares forms, coordinates testing, handles commissioning and provides the final documents. The responsibilities should be written into the quotation instead of being assumed.
