Four trusted components. One accountable solar system.
A high-performing home-solar system is more than the panels. Hornbill brings the core components together, then engineers them around your roof, bill and local grid.

Solar panels
Actual productASTRO N7s · all-black residential module
Astronergy
China · CHINT GroupBloombergNEF Tier 1 PV module manufacturerTop 6 in BloombergNEF’s 2023 module bankability survey
Why it mattersThe panels create the energy. Bankability, manufacturing depth and long-term performance history matter when the asset is expected to work on your roof for decades.

Solar inverter
Actual productET PLUS+ · 5–10 kW residential hybrid inverter
GoodWe
China · solar electronics since 2010Global Top 3 hybrid inverter supplierWood Mackenzie ranking for 2021 · BloombergNEF Tier 1 inverter manufacturer in Q2 2025
Why it mattersThe inverter is the control centre that converts rooftop DC power into usable AC electricity. Correct sizing, monitoring and after-sales support protect daily performance.

BYD
China · BYD Battery-Box5.12 kWh usable energy · IP20Lithium iron phosphate storage · 51.2 V · CAN / RS485
Why it mattersA battery can move daytime solar into evening use and provide eligible backup functions. IP20 equipment requires the protected installation location stated in the final design.

Match equipment to my home →Actual product photography is shown for the named product family. Final model, appearance and availability are confirmed in the site-specific quotation. Rankings are stated with their category and year; BloombergNEF Tier 1 is a bankability classification, not a universal product-quality league table. Battery is optional, and its installation location and inverter compatibility must be confirmed in the final design.
The number that matters
Your return, shown before you commit.
Solar ROI is not a generic “save up to” percentage. Hornbill models your actual grid, bill profile, usable roof, confirmed incentive and payment route—then shows the assumptions beside the answer.

Are solar incentives the same across Malaysia?+
No. Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak and Sabah use different electricity grids and different residential solar programmes. The correct incentive, export credit, contract period and system cap depend on your property address and utility account.
What should I send for a solar assessment?+
Your latest electricity bill and property location are enough for a first estimate. A roof photo helps. Hornbill then checks your usage profile, roof constraints, phase type and the rules for your local grid before recommending a system.
Does Hornbill handle the application paperwork?+
Yes. Hornbill coordinates the relevant TNB, Sarawak Energy or SESB process, including the applicable programme application, design, approvals, installation, commissioning and monitoring.
Is Astronergy really a BloombergNEF Tier 1 solar panel manufacturer?+
Yes. Astronergy is a BloombergNEF Tier 1 PV module manufacturer and placed Top 6 in BloombergNEF’s 2023 module bankability survey. Tier 1 is a bankability classification—not a universal ‘best panel’ quality score—so Hornbill states the category and year precisely.
Is GoodWe one of the world’s top three inverter brands?+
GoodWe was ranked among the global Top 3 hybrid inverter suppliers by Wood Mackenzie for 2021. It was also named a BloombergNEF Tier 1 power inverter manufacturer for Q2 2025. These are dated, category-specific credentials rather than a permanent ranking of every inverter model.
How should I judge the ROI of a home solar system?+
Start with net installed cost after confirmed incentives, then divide it by modelled annual bill savings for a simple payback estimate. A useful proposal should also disclose generation, self-consumption, export value, degradation and maintenance assumptions instead of promising one headline percentage.
