Plain answers to what Malaysian homeowners ask most about the SuRIA Home rebate, who can claim, Solar ATAP, and the claim steps, sorted by topic so you reach the right answer quickly.
The SuRIA Home rebate hands Malaysian homeowners RM600 per kWac, up to a RM3,000 ceiling, for fitting a rooftop solar system under the Solar ATAP scheme. TNB deposits it straight into your own bank account, first-come, first-served, and the window closes on 31 December 2026 or once the RM150 million pot runs dry. Stacked on top of this government rebate, the Astern Technologies extra of up to RM4,000 may apply (outright purchase only, limited quota, terms & conditions apply), taking the total to as much as RM7,000.
It pays RM600 for each 1 kWac of declared installed capacity, capped at RM3,000. A 5 kWac system collects the full RM3,000; anything larger still receives the RM3,000 maximum.
Just once. It's a single cash rebate, one claim per eligible customer, deposited by TNB into your own bank account.
You still qualify, but the payout stays pinned at RM3,000 however far past 5 kWac you go.
It runs first-come, first-served until 31 December 2026, or until the RM150 million pot is fully used up, whichever lands first. Claiming early is strongly advised.
No. TNB pays it to you after your Solar ATAP system is commissioned and verified. It isn't knocked off the installer's invoice, it's cash into your own bank account.
By stacking two separate rebates: the RM3,000 government SuRIA Home rebate (RM600 per kWac, capped at RM3,000, paid by TNB) and the up to RM4,000 Astern Technologies extra. RM3,000 + RM4,000 = RM7,000.
A private promotional rebate of up to RM4,000 from Astern Technologies, separate from the government SuRIA Home rebate. Outright purchase only, limited quota, terms & conditions apply. First-come, first-served, and never guaranteed.
You're eligible if you're a Malaysian citizen, an individual TNB customer on the Domestic Tariff (not a business), your Solar ATAP system is commissioned with TNB by 31 December 2026, and you've never taken a SolaRIS cash rebate. One claim per customer.
No. It's for individual TNB customers on the Domestic Tariff only. Accounts under companies or on commercial or industrial tariffs don't qualify.
No. Having already collected a cash rebate under SolaRIS rules you out of the SuRIA Home rebate. It's limited to one per customer.
The rebate goes to the TNB-registered Domestic Tariff customer who is a Malaysian citizen, and the bank account used for payment must belong to that registered customer. Always check your own situation on the official TNB and SEDA channels.
Solar ATAP (Accelerated Transition Action Programme) is Malaysia's rooftop solar scheme that lets homeowners fit solar panels and offset their electricity bills. It replaced NEM and is run by SEDA Malaysia, with TNB handling grid connection.
NEM offset exported energy one-to-one. Solar ATAP instead credits exported energy at the System Marginal Price (SMP), a market-based rate that shifts over time. Solar ATAP took effect on 1 January 2026.
Yes. The SuRIA Home rebate is only on offer for systems commissioned under Solar ATAP with TNB by 31 December 2026.
Most Malaysian homes fit between 3 kWac and 6 kWac, depending on roof space and electricity use. A 5 kWac system reaches the full RM3,000 SuRIA Home rebate.
TNB deposits the rebate straight into the registered customer's own local bank account, within seven working days of verification. We fit your system and guide you, we never pay or claim the rebate for you.
From 1 June 2026, TNB contacts eligible customers in waves through their TNB-registered email once the Solar ATAP Welcome Letter is out. You then provide your chosen local bank account details for payment.
Once TNB verifies your details, the rebate reaches your own local bank account within seven working days.
No. Availability hinges on government allocation and terms, runs first-come, first-served, and is never guaranteed. The RM150 million pot may empty before 31 December 2026. Always confirm current details on the official TNB and SEDA websites.
