So long stopped posting in my blog, only 1 word - lazy.

I was reading a lot of good blogs recently, and learned a lot, real a lot of others investment going around, especially they are like me, in Malaysia, the middle class ....

The solar plan strike me well after reading 1 or 2 bloggers blogging about their investment progress for this solar thingy.

I did searches, do the calculation but still having '3 big 3 small' (please translate it to cantonese) ... not sure if this really a smart investment or not.


Some info I have collected from the below sites :

All hype. Those who do install the Solar Panels will regret it when they realize that the "savings" will take 20+ years to pay for the initial investment not counting the maintenance cost and effort.

Hey Vincent, any further details to disclose supporting you view of 20+ years to pay for the initial investment ? Some insider information I guess though ?
