Solar Panel Price List Malaysia 2026: Panel, Inverter and Component Prices

Key Takeaway:
A Tier-1 solar panel in Malaysia retails for RM1,000–RM2,000, and a string or hybrid inverter for RM5,000–RM12,000. Installed as a complete system, a 5 kWp setup costs around RM17,000 outright and a 10 kWp setup around RM27,000. GetSolar's Rent-to-Own plan brings the upfront cost to RM0.

Quotes for a residential solar setup can vary by as much as RM10,000 for the same terrace house. This price difference is mostly driven by brand of panels, inverter, and the specific services bundled by your installer.

This price list breaks the quote down into several parts. You get retail panel and inverter prices, add-ons, and what a full installed system costs by size. Knowing what each part should cost helps you evaluate a fair quote faster.

How Much Does One Solar Panel Cost in Malaysia?

A single Tier-1 residential panel retails for around RM1,000–RM2,000 in Malaysia, depending on brand, wattage and supplier. Today's residential panels sit between 590W and 650W. Here's what GetSolar offers:

Retail prices for single panels don't add up to a system quote. Installers buy panels in bulk and price the system as a package, so compare full quotes rather than multiplying a per-panel figure. Our sales team recommends a brand based on your roof and budget.

Which Solar Panel Brand Is Best in Malaysia?

All four brands hold Tier-1 BloombergNEF classification, which signals financial stability and reliable warranty support:

The large-format panels most homes now get typically carry a 12–15 year product warranty and a 30-year performance warranty, though terms vary by model and region, so check the exact model on your quote. Trina and JA Solar sit a tier below LONGi and Jinko on price, while Jinko leads on efficiency.

How Much Does a Solar Inverter Cost in Malaysia?

The inverter converts DC electricity from your panels into the AC electricity your home uses, and it's the part most likely to need replacing after ten to fifteen years. Your supply type also decides which inverter you can install: under Solar ATAP, single-phase homes cap at 5kWac and three-phase homes at 15kWac.

Retail inverter prices run from RM5,000 to RM12,000 depending on specs, and the inverter type sets where you land in that range:

From cheapest to most expensive, the order runs: microinverters, single-phase string, three-phase string, then hybrid inverters.

Note: GetSolar offers Huawei, Sungrow, Solis and GoodWe string and hybrid inverters, plus Hoymiles microinverters.

What Else Goes Into a Solar Quote?

Panels and the inverter take the biggest share, but these line items affect the final quotation as well.

If your usage peaks in the evening, check whether a solar battery actually pays back before adding one. For ongoing costs after installation, see our breakdown of solar panel maintenance cost.

What Does Solar Cost per kWp in Malaysia?

Bought outright, a fully installed system costs around RM2,700–RM3,400 per kWp, and the per-kWp price falls as systems get bigger. Most residential systems start at 4–5 kWp:

Fixed costs like labour and paperwork spread across more panels on bigger systems, which is why a 10 kWp system works out to about RM2,700/kWp against about RM3,400/kWp at 5 kWp.

How To Tell If a Solar Quote Is Fair?

Price each line against the tables above, then check four things:

• Brand tier: A Huawei inverter and LONGi panels cost more than lesser-known brands.
• Extras: Concealed wiring, a battery, an EPS or jobs needing extra equipment add to the base price.
• What's included: Some quotes bundle the Solar ATAP application, monitoring and early maintenance; others price them separately.
• Installer track record: Ask for past projects near you, the workmanship warranty, and who handles after-sales support.

Our checklist of questions to ask before signing a solar quote covers the rest.

How Can You Pay for Solar Without the Upfront Cost?

Paying outright gives the fastest payback, and green loans from banks help spread the cost into monthly repayments. Rent-to-Own is also a viable option for homeowners who want immediate energy savings without taking on a traditional bank loan.

GetSolar's Rent-to-Own plan starts at RM0 upfront, with installation, maintenance and warranty coverage included until you own the system after 5 or 10 years.

However, it’s still worth comparing all three options for yourself in our solar financing guide.
