Calculate ROICommunity Solar Malaysia
Solar isn't just for landowners — but Trexon does not offer a community-solar subscription. If you live in an apartment, rent your home, or simply can't install panels, here is what you can do today — from common-area solar through your JMB to rooftop solar on a landed home.
What Is Community Solar?
Community solar is a shared solar project where multiple households and businesses subscribe to a portion of a larger solar installation. The model is common overseas. Trexon does not offer a subscription version.
Overseas, a subscriber's share of generation is credited to their own electricity bill. NEM is closed to new applications.
The practical routes Trexon can help with are rooftop solar on your own landed home, common-area solar through your JMB or MC, and on-site solar for businesses.
Shared Project, Individual Benefit
Overseas, many subscribers share one large installation and each receives credits for their own share.
Remote Solar Farm
In Malaysia, large solar farms sell power under the Energy Commission's Large Scale Solar (LSS) programme, not to household subscribers.
Bill Credits Need Your Own Premise
Under Solar ATAP, credits apply only to the premise where the panels are installed.
No Property Modification
Overseas, subscribers need no equipment at home. In Malaysia, the closest option for condo residents is common-area solar installed by the JMB or MC.
Your Solar Options Today
Three routes that exist in Malaysia now, depending on where you live or work.
Landed Home: Own Rooftop Solar
Install solar on your own roof under Solar ATAP. Trexon packages start from RM15,999 for 5.58 kWp, and every route starts with the RM2,000 booking.
Condo: Common-Area Solar
Your JMB or MC can install solar for lifts, pumps and common lighting on the building's common-property account. Eligibility is confirmed with TNB per building.
Business: On-Site Solar
A company can own solar, or buy it on hire purchase, on its own premises. Qualifying capex may earn the 60% GITA allowance, subject to MGTC verification.
How Solar ATAP Credits Work
Solar you use on your own premises cuts your bill directly. Exported energy is credited at the TNB Energy Charge for homes (RM0.2703/kWh) and at the monthly Average SMP for businesses. Unused export credit is forfeited at the end of each billing period.
Who Asks About Community Solar — and What They Can Do
Practical next steps for each group, based on the schemes that exist today.
Apartment & Condo Residents
Ask your JMB or MC about common-area solar for lifts, pumps and lighting. Individual units cannot export solar under Solar ATAP.
Renters & Tenants
Trexon does not offer a subscription option; check CREAM details with Suruhanjaya Tenaga or TNB. If your landlord owns a landed home, they can install rooftop solar under Solar ATAP.
Shaded or Small Roofs
We check shading and usable roof area from your roof photos before quoting. Our smallest package is 5.58 kWp.
Strata Properties
Common-area solar goes through the JMB or MC on the building's common-property account; eligibility is confirmed with TNB per building.
Small Businesses in Shared Buildings
If the building owner agrees, solar can be installed on the owner's or the tenant's own account. Send us the roof and the bill and we will check what is possible.
B40 & M40 Households
Landed homes can use Solar ATAP, and eligible Malaysian citizens may receive the SuRIA Home rebate (RM600 per kWac, up to RM3,000). Card 0% instalment plans and bank loans can spread the cost.
Community Solar in Malaysia
CREAM is an aggregation mechanism announced by the authorities; check details with Suruhanjaya Tenaga or TNB.
SolaRIS (Ended)
A rooftop-solar rebate for homes that has ended. It was not a shared or community solar scheme.
Strata Common-Area Solar
A condo's JMB or MC can install solar for common-area loads on the building's own common-property account. Solar ATAP does not cover a shared rooftop serving many individual unit accounts.
Developer-Integrated Solar
Some new developments include rooftop solar on landed units or for common areas. Ask the developer what is installed and on whose TNB account.
Policy Direction
Malaysia's National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) targets 70% renewable energy in installed capacity by 2050. Shared-solar models, including the CREAM aggregation mechanism announced by the authorities, are not offered by Trexon; check details with Suruhanjaya Tenaga or TNB.
Where Malaysia's Solar Policy Stands
Solar ATAP covers rooftop solar on your own premises. Multi-tenant premises are excluded.
Reaching net zero requires solar to reach beyond landed properties — into apartments, SMEs, and low-income communities.
Malaysia's National Energy Transition Roadmap sets the long-term renewable energy direction; distributed solar is part of it.
Six Facts About Solar Without Your Own Roof
What you can do today, and the rules that apply.
No Roof? Ask Your JMB
Condo residents can push for common-area solar through the JMB or MC, on the building's own common-property account.
Landed Home? From RM15,999
Trexon's smallest package is 5.58 kWp from RM15,999, with a 30-year panel performance warranty and installation in 1–2 days on site.
SuRIA Home Rebate
Eligible Malaysian citizens may receive RM600 per kWac (up to RM3,000), paid to the TNB account holder. TNB notifies eligible customers; there is no separate application.
Export Credit Rules
Under Solar ATAP, unused export credit is forfeited at the end of each billing period, so systems are sized to your own daytime use.
Support Local Renewable Energy
Every rooftop system adds Malaysian solar generation and reduces the grid's reliance on coal and gas-fired power stations.
Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Every kWh of solar you use on site displaces grid electricity. Your monitoring app shows what your system has generated.
Community Solar vs the Options That Exist
Frequently Asked Questions: Community Solar Malaysia
Common questions from apartment residents, renters, and SMEs asking about community solar.
What is community solar and how does it work in Malaysia?
Community solar is a model, common overseas, where households subscribe to a share of a larger shared solar installation and receive credits on their own electricity bill.
What was SolaRIS — was it a community solar scheme?
No. SolaRIS was a government rebate for rooftop solar on homes, and it has ended. It was not a shared or community solar scheme. For homes today, the main routes are Solar ATAP and, for eligible Malaysian citizens, the SuRIA Home rebate (RM600 per kWac, up to RM3,000, paid to the TNB account holder).
Can apartment and condo residents join community solar?
Not individually. Solar ATAP excludes multi-tenant premises, so an individual condo unit cannot export solar to TNB under it. What a condo can do is install solar for common-area loads (lifts, pumps, lighting) on the building's own common-property account through its JMB or MC; eligibility is confirmed with TNB per building.
Is there virtual net metering for shared solar in Malaysia?
Trexon does not offer virtual net metering or a subscription. NEM is closed to new applications. Under Solar ATAP, credits apply only to the premise where the system is installed, and unused export credit is forfeited at the end of each billing period.
Can renters get solar in Malaysia?
Not through a subscription. A tenant cannot add solar to a landlord's home without consent. If the landlord agrees, rooftop solar on a landed home goes through Solar ATAP on that premise's TNB account, and the owner decides how the savings are shared.
Is community solar available in Malaysia right now?
CREAM is an aggregation mechanism announced by the authorities; check details with Suruhanjaya Tenaga or TNB. The routes Trexon can help with are rooftop solar on your own landed home (Solar ATAP), common-area solar for condos through the JMB or MC, and on-site solar that a business owns or buys on hire purchase. Trexon does not run a community solar programme or waitlist.
Ask About Solar for Your Home or Building
