Unlock a Brighter Future with Solar ATAP Programme 2026
Solar ATAP Malaysia 2026
The New Rooftop Solar Incentive Replacing NEM
The Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme (Solar ATAP) has been introduced by the Malaysian Government to accelerate the use of rooftop spaces for renewable energy (RE) generation from solar sources. Launched as a continuation of the Net Energy Metering (NEM) Programme, which concluded in June 2025, Solar ATAP offers Malaysians a more attractive way to save on electricity bills and maximise solar usage.
What is Solar ATAP?
Solar ATAP is Malaysia’s latest rooftop solar initiative. It builds on the core principles of NEM, allowing homeowners and businesses to export excess solar energy back to the national grid while enjoying financial offsets. This programme is designed to be simpler, more rewarding, and flexible, making rooftop solar installations more accessible.
How Solar ATAP 2026 Helps Malaysians Save More on TNB Bills
Malaysia’s electricity bills have been steadily rising, making energy costs a growing concern for homeowners and businesses. The Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme (Solar ATAP 2026) offers a smart solution: generating your own solar energy and exporting surplus electricity back to TNB to reduce your bills.
How It Works
- Solar ATAP allows excess energy produced by your rooftop solar system to be exported to the grid.
- The programme sets an energy offset rate, converting surplus electricity into credits on your electricity bill.
- With installations up to 100% of your maximum demand or 1MW, you can optimise savings according to your energy needs.
Savings Examples
- A typical Malaysian home could cut electricity costs by 30–50%.
- Small and medium businesses can reduce operational energy costs significantly, improving profitability.
