The lights are up, the house is full of family, and the aircon has been running since noon. Then the TNB bill arrives, and it is bigger than last month. Again.
Well, you’re in luck, here is something worth knowing before the year ends. The government will pay you up to RM3,000 in cash to put solar on your roof. And right now, SOLS Energy is adding RM1,000 more to that for the first 20 homeowners who claim!
But there’s a catch, SuRIA Home closes on 31 December 2026, or even sooner if the funds run out first.
Here is everything you need to know:
What is the SuRIA Home rebate?
- SuRIA stands for Sustainable Rebate and Incentive Assistance.
- It is a government rebate for homeowners who install solar under the Solar ATAP programme.
- It launched on 22 May 2026, with RM150 million set aside for around 45,000 to 50,000 homes.
- It is one rebate per customer, paid as cash into your bank account.
What do you get?
- RM600 for every 1 kWac of solar you install.
- Up to RM3,000 from SuRIA Home. You reach the maximum at 5 kWac.
- A quick example: a 4 kWac system gets you RM2,400.
- On top of that, RM1,000 cash rebate from SOLS Energy for the first 20 homeowners to claim.
- And of course a smaller TNB bill every month.
Who can claim and who cannot:
You can claim if you:
- Are a Malaysian citizen.
- Have an individual TNB household account (domestic tariff).
- Install solar under Solar ATAP, and TNB switches it on.
- Have not received the older SolaRIS rebate.
You cannot claim if:
- Your TNB account is a company or business account.
- You already received a cash rebate under SolaRIS.
One more thing to note that meeting these conditions does not guarantee approval. The rebate is still subject to the programme terms and the funds available.
How to claim:
- Get a solar quote.
- Your installer handles the Solar ATAP application.
- Get your system installed.
- TNB switches it on. This is called commissioning, and it must happen before 31 December 2026.
- TNB emails you. Share your bank details and get paid.
A tip: watch the email address registered with your TNB account, and check your spam folder. That is where the notice arrives.
Why you should act now:
- The process takes about 1 to 2 months. Leave it too late and you could miss the deadline. Don’t wait and start now.
- The funds are first come, first served: Once the RM150 million is used up, the rebate closes, even before 31 December.
- The RM1,000 from SOLS Energy is for the first 20 only!
- After 31 December, SuRIA Home will no longer be available.
How to get your RM1,000 as well
- Be one of the first 20 to sign up. Limited slots available!
