Understanding Malaysia's new Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme
Solar ATAP (Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme) is Malaysia's newest initiative to accelerate the adoption of rooftop solar systems across Peninsular Malaysia. Launched January 1, 2026, the programme allows TNB electricity consumers in Peninsula Malaysia to install solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on their properties to generate their own clean electricity.
Four key features that make Solar ATAP work for you
Install solar PV panels on your rooftop that convert sunlight into electricity. Use it immediately to power your home or business, reducing what you draw from TNB and lowering your monthly bills.
When your panels generate more than you need, the excess flows to the grid. You receive bill credits - domestic consumers at the Energy Charge rate, non-domestic at the transparent Average SMP.
Install systems up to 100% of your maximum demand - more than NEM's 75% limit. Non-domestic consumers can install up to 1MW, maximizing your solar investment potential.
Designed to be fair for all electricity consumers with market-based pricing. The 10-year programme provides long-term savings, and you can continue self-consumption after the contract period.
