Solar is not only legal for your home in Malaysia, but it can also save up to 90% off your monthly energy bills!  

This is all made possible through the Net Energy Metering (NEM) Rakyat scheme where the energy produced from the solar PV system on the homeowner’s roof will be consumed first, and any excess energy would be exported to the national grid in the form of credit in the homeowner’s TNB account.  

Here is a breakdown of how your home would be saving energy with NEM Rakyat:  

Example: 

Ahmad installs a solar photovoltaic (PV) system for his home. Throughout a month, his home electrical appliances consumed a total of 500kWh  from the solar PV system during the daytime and exported 637kWh of excess energy generated from the solar PV system back to the grid.  

Since the solar PV system does not produce energy at night, he has imported a total of 687kWh of energy from the grid during the month for his usage at night. After deducting the exported excess energy from the imported energy, he ends up just needing to pay for the net usage of 50kWh at the end of the month.
