Maxis has stepped into the solar energy game with its Maxis Home Solar subscription service, claiming that the offering will remove the large cost hurdle of purchasing and installing solar panels for customers in the Klang Valley.
According to Maxis' FAQ page, customers only need to pay RM1,000 upfront for installation (subject to a prior credit check). The company estimates that homeowners would generally have to pay between RM30,000 to RM50,000 to purchase and install such a system otherwise.
Maxis estimates that Home Solar subscribers could save up to 25% once the system is installed, with the company conducting an assessment to evaluate the condition of a roof and to determine the appropriate size for the system.
Following the assessment, customers can choose between two payment plans for their tailored solar solution: a fixed monthly fee or a rate based on the amount of energy generated.

The company also says it uses Tier 1 Certified Solar Panels and Inverters, with installations performed by Registered PV Service Providers (RPVSP) accredited by the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA).
The subscription service, which requires a 10-year contract commitment, will include a 30-year warranty on equipment, insurance coverage for any damage to the solar energy system, free maintenance and repairs to the system, along with 24/7 customer support and system monitoring.
Do note that early contract terminations will require that customers pay a prorated amount to buy out their solar system based on the remaining tenure.
Those keen on adopting solar energy to power their home can reach out to Maxis via its website for consultation with the company's Solar Team.
