SuRIA Home: RM3,000 cash back on home solar
The government pays RM600 for every kWac of solar you install under Solar ATAP, up to RM3,000. It is cash into your bank account, not a discount you have to argue for.
What you actually get
| System size | SuRIA rebate | Typical cost before rebate | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 kW | −RM1,800 | ≈RM15,000 | ≈RM13,200 |
| 5 kW | −RM3,000 | ≈RM21,500 | ≈RM18,500 |
| 8 kW | −RM3,000 | ≈RM33,000 | ≈RM30,000 |
| 10 kW | −RM3,000 | ≈RM41,500 | ≈RM38,500 |
The rebate caps at 5 kWac, so systems above 5 kW all receive RM3,000. Costs are market ranges, not quotes — actual pricing depends on your roof, phase and panel choice.
Two deadlines, and the money one comes first
SuRIA Home is capped at roughly 45,000 to 50,000 homes — about 250 MW of residential rooftop solar. It is first come, first served, which means the allocation can be exhausted well before 31 December 2026.
The date that matters is commissioning, not signing. A typical Solar ATAP installation takes 8 to 16 weeks from application to switch-on once TNB approval is included, so leaving it until late in the year risks missing the rebate on timing alone.
Am I eligible?
- ✓Malaysian citizen

- ✓Installing under Solar ATAP (TNB, Peninsular Malaysia)
- ✓Have not received a cash rebate under the earlier SolaRIS programme
- ✓System commissioned by 31 December 2026
In Sabah, Labuan or Sarawak? SuRIA Home does not apply — those states are on SESB NEM and SEB SARES rather than Solar ATAP.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the SuRIA Home rebate?
RM600 for every 1 kWac of solar installed, capped at RM3,000. The cap is reached at 5 kWac, so a 5 kW system and a 10 kW system both receive RM3,000.
Who is eligible for SuRIA Home?
You must be a Malaysian citizen, an individual TNB customer on the domestic tariff (not a company), installing under Solar ATAP, and you must not have received a cash rebate under the earlier SolaRIS programme.
When does SuRIA Home end?
Your system must be commissioned by 31 December 2026, or until the allocation runs out — whichever comes first. It is first come, first served against roughly 45,000 to 50,000 homes nationally, so the money can run out before the date does.
How do I apply for the SuRIA Home rebate?
You do not apply separately. Eligible Solar ATAP customers are contacted by TNB at their registered email in phases from 1 June 2026 and asked for bank account details. Once verified, the cash is transferred within about seven working days. Make sure the email on your TNB account is one you actually read.
Can I claim SuRIA Home if I already have solar?
Not if you already received a cash rebate under SolaRIS. If your existing system was installed without any government cash rebate, check your eligibility with your installer before assuming either way.
Does SuRIA Home apply in Sabah and Sarawak?
No. SuRIA Home is tied to Solar ATAP, which is TNB and Peninsular Malaysia only. Sabah and Labuan are supplied by SESB under NEM, and Sarawak by SEB under SARES.
