The Latest SuRIA Home Solar Rebate: How Malaysian Homeowners Can Save Up to RM3,000 with Solar ATAP

Malaysia has introduced a new residential solar incentive called the SuRIA Home solar rebate, giving eligible homeowners the opportunity to receive up to RM3,000 when they install a rooftop solar system under the Solar ATAP Scheme.

For households in West Malaysia, this is one of the best times to consider solar. With rising electricity costs and increasing awareness of renewable energy, rooftop solar is no longer only for factories and commercial buildings. It is now becoming a practical solution for homeowners who want to reduce monthly electricity bills and enjoy long-term energy savings.

What is the SuRIA Home Solar Rebate Malaysia?

The SuRIA Home Solar Rebate Malaysia Progromme, short for Sustainable Rebate & Incentive Assistance Home, is a government solar rebate initiative launched by PETRA to encourage more Malaysian households to install residential rooftop solar systems.

Under this programme, eligible domestic users who install solar under the Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme, also known as Solar ATAP, can receive a rebate of RM600 for every 1kWac of solar installation, up to a maximum rebate of RM3,000, equivalent to a 5kWac system. PETRA has allocated RM150 million for the SuRIA Home initiative, which is expected to support around 250MW of residential rooftop solar capacity. (The Edge Malaysia)

What is Solar ATAP?

Solar ATAP, or the Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme, is Malaysia’s new rooftop solar programme. It was introduced as a continuation of the previous Net Energy Metering (NEM) programme, which ended in June 2025. According to SEDA, Solar ATAP is designed to maximise the use of rooftop spaces for renewable energy generation from solar sources. (SEDA Malaysia)

Through Solar ATAP, homeowners can install a solar PV system on their rooftop and use the electricity generated for their own household consumption. When the solar system generates more electricity than the home uses during the day, the excess electricity can be exported to the TNB grid. TNB explains that the solar energy generated is first used for internal consumption, and when there is insufficient solar generation, such as at night, TNB supplies electricity as usual. (myTNB)

Why Homeowners Should Consider Solar ATAP Now

For many homeowners, electricity bills are becoming a bigger monthly expense. Air-conditioning, water heaters, refrigerators, home offices, EV charging, and daily family usage can all increase household electricity consumption.

By installing rooftop solar under Solar ATAP, homeowners can generate their own electricity during the day and reduce the amount of electricity purchased from the grid. This is especially useful for households with high daytime usage or higher monthly TNB bills.

The SuRIA Home rebate makes the decision even more attractive because eligible homeowners may receive up to RM3,000 in rebate support. The programme is available for Solar ATAP installations that commence operations by 31 December 2026, or until the 250MW quota is fully taken up, whichever comes first. (PETRA)
