Feed-In Approval Application Process for Solar PV Installation

If you’re interested on Solar PV System as the type of technology you’re going to use in generating your own electricity and make a profit, let the following Feed-In Approval Application (FIA) steps serve as your guide in achieving those goals.

Step 1 : Check for Eligibility and make sure that you comply with the criteria implemented by the Renewable Energy Rules 2011 (see FIT Rates and FIT RE Quota for more details).

Step 2

• Obtain legal rights to the property of the Solar PV Installation or a letter of intent from the owner of the property.
• Verify if there are any requirements from the local government or the local authorities.
• Coordinate with your prospective financier and complete the necessary documents that your financier requires.

Step 3 : Fill out the FIA Application and submit the forms either manually or online.

Step 4: Once approved, sign the Renewable Energy Power Purchase Agreement (REPPA) with the relevant Distribution Licensee (DL), which will then have to be registered with SEDA Malaysia.

Step 5 : Sign all the financing agreements and fulfill all the conditions to first drawdown.

Step 6 : Coordinate with your preferred service provider to get started with the Solar PV Installation.

Step 7 : Install Feed-In Tariff Meter.

Step 8 : Execute Acceptance Test which is to be verified and certified by a Qualified Personnel only.

Step 9

• Inform SEDA Malaysia and the Distribution Licensee of the FIT Commencement Date before and after the FIT Commencement Date.
