How does home solar work in Peninsular Malaysia?
For eligible TNB domestic customers, Solar ATAP lets rooftop solar power the home first and credits eligible surplus exports at the applicable domestic energy rate. SuRIA Home pays RM600 per approved kWac, capped at RM3,000, for qualifying systems commissioned by 31 December 2026 or before the allocation is fully distributed. Hornbill packages may add RM900–RM2,000, taking combined rebates up to RM5,000.

Hornbill policy guide · Peninsular MalaysiaThe policy, made simple
Solar ATAP in one picture.
Your roof generates electricity. Your home uses it first. Only the excess crosses the bidirectional meter, so the best design balances daytime use, export value and roof potential. The battery shown is optional; Solar ATAP does not require storage.
- 01
Panels generate
Astronergy modules convert daylight into DC electricity.
- 02
Your home uses solar first
The inverter supplies appliances before electricity is purchased from TNB.
- 03
The meter records the balance
Eligible surplus is exported; shortfalls are imported as usual.
- 04
Your bill receives the offset
Approved exports are credited at the applicable domestic energy rate during the 10-year arrangement.
What changes the economics
Understand the programme before choosing the system.
Headline incentives are useful, but your net investment, self-consumption and approved design determine the real return.
SuRIA can reduce day-one cost
RM600 per approved kWac, capped at RM3,000, is paid to the registered TNB customer after a qualifying commissioning.
Right-sizing protects ROI
A larger array is not automatically better. We model self-use, export credit, roof yield and package cost together.
Ownership can match your budget
Solar ATAP permits outright purchase and approved financing, PPA or leasing structures, subject to provider and bank terms.
From first bill to first solar unit
The return begins with the right design—not the biggest system.
Solar ATAP performance depends on a chain of decisions. Hornbill connects the commercial model, technical design, application and commissioning so the system works as one investment.

Is solar likely to make sense for this home?
We use your bill, roof and priorities to answer this before asking you to choose a package.
Check my home →Usually a strong fit when…
- You use meaningful electricity in daylight hours
- Your monthly TNB bill is consistently high enough to offset
- Your roof has limited shade and useful north-, east-, west- or south-facing space
Know this before signing…
- SuRIA is first-come, first-served and time-limited
- Export treatment changes after the 10-year Solar ATAP tenure
- Final capacity depends on phase, roof, application and technical approval

How much is the SuRIA Home rebate?+
The rebate is RM600 per approved kWac, capped at RM3,000. The system must meet the programme requirements and be successfully commissioned by 31 December 2026 or before the allocated rebate pool is fully distributed, whichever comes first.
How does Solar ATAP save money?+
Solar first replaces electricity you would otherwise buy from TNB. Eligible surplus generation can be exported and credited at the applicable domestic energy rate. Because self-used solar and exported solar may have different value, the system should be designed around your usage profile.
What are the domestic capacity limits?+
SEDA publishes a maximum of 5 kWac for single-phase domestic supply and 15 kWac for three-phase domestic supply, subject to the programme and technical approval.
Can I combine the SuRIA and Hornbill rebates?+
For qualifying Hornbill packages, the government SuRIA rebate may be combined with a Hornbill rebate of RM900–RM2,000, for a headline combined amount of up to RM5,000. Eligibility and final amounts must be confirmed in your quotation.
What happens after 10 years?+
SEDA states that after the Solar ATAP tenure, the system may continue for self-consumption but export offset and rollover no longer apply under that arrangement. This makes good system sizing important from the start.
How accurate is the calculator?+
It is an initial estimate based on typical yield, tariff and usage assumptions. Final savings depend on roof direction, shading, daytime use, approved system size, export treatment and actual equipment performance.
