Solar ATAP 2026

The Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme (GP/ST/No. 60/2025). Effective 1 January 2026 — replaces NEM 3.0 with self-consumption priority and export credits at Energy Charge / SMP rates.

Solar ATAP prioritises self-consumption and pays export credits for surplus energy at the Energy Charge rate for domestic customers, or the System Marginal Price for non-domestic customers, with capacity set by the Government and allocated first-come-first-served. Unlike the old NEM scheme, unused export credits do not carry forward — they are forfeited at the end of each billing cycle, which makes correct system sizing critical rather than optional. Domestic capacity is capped at 15 kW. Registration is handled by your installer as part of the TNB grid connection application through a SEDA-registered RPVSP, so homeowners do not apply to a separate government agency. This applies to Peninsular Malaysia only — Sabah and Sarawak run separate schemes. Use the eligibility checker and calculator below to see where you stand.

SuRIA Home rebate (residential)

Suria Rebate Malaysia 2026: RM3,000 for eligible homes

PETRA's SuRIA Home incentive is linked to eligible domestic Solar ATAP projects, with RM600 per kWac capped at RM3,000 while quota remains available.

Self-Consumption First

The primary goal is to reduce your own demand. Generate electricity during the day to power your home or business directly.

Export Credits

Excess energy is exported to the TNB grid. You earn credits based on the prevailing Energy Charge or SMP rates.

10-Year Contract

Secure your energy future with a fixed 10-year connection agreement, ensuring long-term stability and ROI.

Program Comparison

Understanding the differences between NEM 3.0 (closed) and Solar ATAP 2026 is crucial for maximizing your return — especially the no-carry-forward credit rule that makes system sizing critical.
