What Determines Solar Panel Costs in Naypyidaw?

Like building a custom-tailored longyi, photovoltaic (PV) system prices depend on multiple factors:

• System size: Most homes need 3-8kW systems (₵4.5 million to ₵12 million)
• Panel type: Monocrystalline (premium) vs. Polycrystalline (budget)
• Roof complexity: Tile vs. metal roofs affect labor costs
• Battery storage: Adds 25-40% to total cost but ensures night power

"Our 5kW system paid for itself in 6 years through bill savings," says U Min Htike, a local tea shop owner. "Now we''re selling excess power back to the grid!"
