From City Terrace to Kampung House: How Solar Transforms Lives in Different Malaysian Households

Different Stories Under the Same Sky

On Homi’s installation map, our footprints cover both bustling “Tamans” and serene “Kampungs.” While the roof shapes differ, the goal remains the same: A life with more freedom and fewer worries.

Let’s look at two distinct cases:

Story 1: The Battle for “Aircon Freedom” in KL

Profile: Jason & May, Professionals Location: Double Storey Terrace in PJ Pain Point: WFH & High Living Costs

For Jason’s family, the electricity bill was a monthly nightmare. Both work from home (WFH), and with two kids, their 4 air-conditioners were running almost 24/7. “We used to set timers on the AC, or even sleep in one room to save electricity,” Jason recalls. The RM600+ bill brought guilt with every cool breeze.

The Change After Solar: Now, their bill is under RM100. “The biggest change isn’t the money, it’s the mindset,” says May. “If it’s hot, we turn on the AC. No stress, no guilt. That is what we call Aircon Freedom.”

Story 2: “Retirement Security” in the Kampung

Profile: Cikgu Rahim, Retired Teacher Location: Single Storey Bungalow in a Kampung (Johor) Pain Point: Fixed Pension vs. Rising Costs

Cikgu Rahim lives in his spacious kampung home. His daily usage is low, but when his children and grandchildren “Balik Kampung” during weekends or Raya, consumption spikes. “My pension is fixed, but prices keep rising, including TNB tariffs,” he worried.

The Change After Solar: Cikgu Rahim utilized his large roof to install a solar system. Through NEM, the excess power generated on weekdays is stored as credit, perfectly offsetting the high usage when family visits. “Now, the grandkids can use power however they like. It protects my pension from inflation. It’s the best upgrade I’ve made to this old house.”

Homi’s View: Sunlight is Fair to All
