Save More on Your TNB Bill with Solar ATAP
If you are living in a landed home and your monthly TNB bill is RM200 or more, Solar ATAP can help you lower your electricity bill by using more of your own solar energy at home. With ATAP replacing NEM, system design now has a bigger impact on your savings.
Designed for landed homeowners in Malaysia who want to see real savings.
Is Your Home Suitable for Solar ATAP?
Solar ATAP works differently from older schemes. You save the most when you use solar energy directly, while excess energy is exported to offset your energy charges (per kWh). This means your savings depend on how well your system is designed around your actual usage, not just how much energy it generates.
Most homeowners don’t realise this:
A system that’s too big or poorly designed can generate excess energy you don’t fully benefit from, reducing your overall savings.
You’re a strong candidate for Solar ATAP if:
- You live in a Landed Home: Rooftop solar is best suited for landed properties with full system control.
- Your monthly TNB bill is RM300 or higher: Higher usage means more energy you can offset directly, leading to faster savings.
- You have available roof space: A clear roof with minimal shading ensures better system performance and more consistent generation.
Unlike older schemes like NEM, Solar ATAP does not use fixed one-to-one credits. Your savings depend more on how much of your solar energy you use directly in your home.
Is Your Home Suitable for Solar ATAP?
Solar ATAP works best if:
- You live in a landed home
- Your monthly TNB bill is RM200 or higher
- You have consistent electricity usage (aircon, fridge, appliances, EV charging)
- You have available roof space with minimal shading
What does Solar ATAP cost and how much can you save?
- System size: 4kW – 10kW
- Typical home bill: RM300 – RM500/month
If your bill is around RM400/month:
- A properly sized solar system can offset a large portion of your electricity usage
- Estimated savings can range between 30% to 70%, depending on usage pattern
Over time, this adds up to a significant cost reduction.
- Monthly savings replacing part of your electricity bill
- Long-term reduction in rising energy costs
Why Solar ATAP works differently from older schemes
Under Solar ATAP:
- You save the most when you use solar energy directly
- Exported energy is credited using SMP, which can vary monthly (not 1-to-1)
What this means for homeowners
- Your savings depend on how your system is designed
- How your energy is used matters more than before
- A poorly designed system may generate excess energy you don’t fully benefit from

FAQ
Are you interested in solar solutions but have some questions in mind unresolved? We’ve consolidated top asked questions that may help make you take the step to decide today.
Should I wait before installing Solar ATAP?
If your electricity bills are already high, waiting usually means continuing to pay more to TNB. Solar ATAP allows you to start reducing your bills now, especially if your home meets the basic requirements.
Is Solar ATAP better than NEM?
Solar ATAP works differently from NEM. While NEM offered one-to-one credit, ATAP focuses more on self-consumption. With the right system design, homeowners can still achieve strong savings.
How much can I save with Solar ATAP?
Savings depend on your electricity usage and system size. Many homeowners see 30% to 70% reduction in their electricity bills when the system is properly designed.
Do I need a battery for Solar ATAP?
Not necessarily. Most homes can benefit from solar without a battery.
However, a battery can provide additional benefits:
Store excess solar energy for use later
Reduce reliance on the grid
Provide backup power during outages (depending on system setup)
Homes looking for greater energy independence or more control over their usage may benefit more from adding a battery.
How long does installation take?
Once approvals are completed, installation is usually fast and can often be completed within a short timeframe, depending on your home and system size.
What kind of homes qualify for Solar ATAP?
Solar ATAP is mainly suitable for landed homes with sufficient roof space and active TNB accounts with bills of RM200 or more. Apartments and condos are generally not eligible.
How do I know what system size I need?
The right system size depends on your electricity bill, usage pattern, and roof space.. A proper assessment ensures your system is optimised for savings under Solar ATAP.
