What you need to know
SuRIA Home is a one-time cash rebate for qualifying Malaysian Solar ATAP domestic customers. It pays RM600 per approved kWac, capped at RM3,000. The allocation is first-come, first-served from 1 June to 31 December 2026, and the system must be successfully commissioned by 31 December 2026 or before the allocation is fully distributed, whichever happens first.
Key takeaways
- Maximum government rebate: RM3,000 at RM600 per approved kWac.
- The registered TNB customer must be a Malaysian citizen and must not have received the previous SolaRIS cash rebate.
- Application timing, Solar ATAP approval, installation and commissioning all need to fit within the available allocation and deadline.
- Treat the rebate as confirmed only after official approval—not when it appears in a sales quotation.
01
How is the SuRIA Home amount calculated?
The formula is straightforward: approved AC system capacity multiplied by RM600, subject to a maximum of RM3,000. A qualifying 3 kWac system would correspond to RM1,800; a qualifying 5 kWac system reaches the RM3,000 cap.
The rebate should not be used as a reason to oversize the system. Capacity still needs to fit the roof, supply phase, Solar ATAP approval and the home’s energy profile.
02
Who can qualify?
SEDA’s published highlights identify Malaysian citizens who are Solar ATAP domestic customers and who have not previously received a cash rebate under SolaRIS. The rebate is tied to the registered TNB customer and remains subject to the programme’s detailed terms and conditions.
- Malaysian citizen and registered TNB domestic customer.
- New qualifying system under Solar ATAP.
- No previous SolaRIS cash rebate received by the applicant.
- Successful commissioning within the deadline and while allocation remains.
03
What should homeowners do first?
Begin with an assessment rather than a package price. The provider should confirm the TNB account, supply phase, likely system size, roof conditions and whether the planned timeline is realistic.
Because the programme is first-come, first-served, paperwork and project readiness matter. Ask who will manage the Solar ATAP submission, installation documents, commissioning and rebate steps—and ask for those responsibilities in writing.
04
How and when is the rebate paid?
SEDA states that the rebate is transferred to the preferred Malaysian bank account under the registered TNB customer after the customer receives the relevant email from TNB. This means the customer details, bank details and utility account name should be consistent.
The safest financial model shows the gross installed price, the expected rebate and the net cost separately. That keeps the homeowner informed if approval timing or the available allocation changes.
