The complete picture for Malaysian homeowners on the 2026 SuRIA Home solar rebate, what you'll receive, who can claim, when TNB pays, and how to lodge it. Layer the RM3,000 government rebate with the up to RM4,000 Astern Technologies extra and the total climbs to RM7,000.
The SuRIA Home rebate puts up to RM3,000 cash back in the hands of Malaysian homeowners who fit a rooftop solar system under the Solar ATAP scheme. The rate is RM600 for each 1 kWac of installed capacity, capped at RM3,000, and TNB deposits it straight into your bank account.
SuRIA Home (Sustainable Rebate and Incentive Assistance) is a government programme designed to help domestic electricity users trim their bills by switching to solar. PETRA rolled it out on 22 May 2026 with a RM150 million pot, projected to reach 45,000 to 50,000 households across the country. Because the rebate stacks on top of your everyday Solar ATAP savings, you shave money off the monthly TNB bill and pocket a one-off cash payout as well.
The payout is worked out from your system's declared installed capacity in kWac, RM600 for every kWac, up to a RM3,000 ceiling. Here's how that plays out in real numbers:
| System size | Calculation | Rebate |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5 kWac | 2.5 × RM600 | RM1,500 |
| 3.0 kWac | 3.0 × RM600 | RM1,800 |
| 4.0 kWac | 4.0 × RM600 | RM2,400 |
| 5.0 kWac | 5.0 × RM600 | RM3,000 |
| 6.0 kWac and above | Capped | RM3,000 |
Go beyond 5 kWac and you still qualify, but the rebate holds at the RM3,000 ceiling.
Layered above the RM3,000 government rebate, an Astern Technologies extra of up to RM4,000 may apply, taking the potential total for eligible homeowners to RM7,000 (RM3,000 + RM4,000 = RM7,000). This Astern Technologies extra is a private promotional offer that sits apart from the government SuRIA Home rebate. It covers outright purchases only, carries a limited quota, and is bound by terms & conditions. The promotion is first-come, first-served and is never guaranteed.
RM3,000 SuRIA Home (government, paid by TNB) + up to RM4,000 Astern Technologies extra (outright purchase only) = up to RM7,000 total.
To be eligible for the SuRIA Home rebate, every one of these must apply to you:
Claims are limited to one per customer.
The payment comes from TNB, never from your installer. Starting 1 June 2026, TNB contacts eligible customers in waves via their TNB-registered email once the Solar ATAP Welcome Letter has gone out. You hand over your chosen local bank account details, and once verified the rebate arrives inside seven working days. That account has to belong to the TNB-registered customer.
Worth knowing: we fit and commission your system and guide you through the steps, but the rebate is paid directly to you by TNB. We never request or handle your rebate money.
The scheme operates first-come, first-served until 31 December 2026, or until the RM150 million pot is emptied, whichever lands first. With demand expected to run hot, the funds could disappear well before the deadline, so installing early is the surest way to keep your spot.
