I wrote an article recently about SEDA Malaysia's target of 2,000 house owners to invest in solar power through the feed-in tariff incentive by the end of this year.
The good news has finally arrived. A couple of weeks ago The Star reported that owners of landed homes can start applying for the 2000 quota starting September 24, 2012. They can do this by applying through the e-FiT Online System.

The 2000 Solar Home Rooftop Programme
SEDA chairman Tan Sri Dr Fong Chan Onn told newsmen that the authority would allocate 2,000kW of solar photovoltaic (PV) for the fourth quarter of 2012 and 6,000kW for 2013 to home owners interested in generating electricity from their rooftops.
“A directory of the solar PV service providers will be available at Seda from Sept 18 to assist home owners,” he said in a statement.
Dr Fong said the programme was open to only individual residents and each application must comply with the Renewable Energy (Feed-in Approval and Feed-in Tariff Rate) Rules 2011 and Administrative Guidelines under the Renewable Energy Act.
An applicant can only submit one application per day through the e-FiT Online System at efit.seda.gov.my. The e-FiT Online System was made available for public access since Sept 18 after going through system enhancements. - The Star Online, 14-09-2012
Programme Summary:
Programme : 2000 Solar Home Rooftop
Period : 4Q of 2012
Organised : Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA)
Quota : 2 MW (4Q, 2012) and 6 MW (2013)
Eligibility : Individual residents
How to apply : Submit application through e-FIT online system. One application per day.
Investment return : Expected ROI of 6 years
Earning : Average of RM500 per month for the REPPA of 21 years
Bad news for those who have applied earlier
If you have applied online prior to this date, your application would have been 'flushed out'. Meaning, your applications would have been deleted. This is because of what SEDA described as 'upgrading'.
The Star (Sept.14, 2012):
For me this is a bad move (or weakness) by SEDA. The approval/quota is on first-come-first-served basis and because earlier applications are flushed out, they lost their advantages for registering early.
TheGreenMechanics: If you are eligible and you have what it takes to get it done on your landed home, go for it. Simple as that.

The Star (Sept.14, 2012):
- "...Badriyah (CEO of SEDA) also said applications for feed-in approval that were sent earlier have been flushed out due to the system upgrade. She also encouraged interested applicants and prospective and renewable energy developers to attend Seda's roadshows which will be held soon to learn more about the programme."
For me this is a bad move (or weakness) by SEDA. The approval/quota is on first-come-first-served basis and because earlier applications are flushed out, they lost their advantages for registering early.

setuju sangat
memang sepatutnya begitu
yang dahulu mesti didahulukan
tak bagus ni bila perlu beratur semula di belakang kerana kesilapan orang lain
It's good that the system is being put into place and the whole thing is pretty much going ahead now at least.
I still think Feed in Tariffs are generally the top way to attract people towards solar so I hope for the success of this scheme.
any battery involved?
@thomas - no battery is involved in the FiT scheme
