The Installation Journey 2026: From Site Visit to Solar ATAP Activation

Installing the panels takes only 2 days. So why is the total timeline 4-8 weeks? The answer lies in the permitting process.

Phase 1: Approvals (Weeks 1-4)

Before any screw is drilled, we must submit the Solar ATAP application to SEDA. TNB then conducts a technical study (NEM Assessment Study) to ensure the local grid can handle your export.

Phase 2: Installation (Days 1-2)

Our team arrives. Day 1: Railing and Panels. Day 2: Inverter, DC cabling, and testing. It's fast and minimally invasive.

Phase 3: Meter Change (Weeks 5-8)

After installation, we submit Form B to TNB. TNB will then come to swap your old meter for a bi-directional meter. Only after this meter swap can you turn on the system and start saving.
