Malaysian homeowners whose SuRIA Home applications have already been approved can complete their solar installations by March 2027 and retain the agreed rebate, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof told Parliament on 11 November.
The assurance covers approved applicants whose installations remain unfinished as the programme approaches its scheduled 31 December 2026 end date. PETRA is assessing the programme’s continuation and possible improvements. New applicants should confirm their eligibility and applicable deadlines with the relevant authorities.
Rebates of up to RM3,000
SuRIA Home offers eligible residential Solar ATAP customers RM600 per kWac, capped at RM3,000. A 3kWac installation therefore corresponds to RM1,800, while a qualifying 5kWac system reaches the cap.
SEDA’s published programme guidance describes a one-time rebate for Malaysian citizens and excludes recipients of a previous SolaRIS cash rebate. The rebate is subject to the programme’s terms and approval process.
Check the completion date with your installer
Approved applicants should confirm their installation schedule and required completion documents with their installer and TNB. Fadillah urged homeowners to use qualified, registered installers and seek clarification from PETRA, TNB or the Energy Commission before engaging a supplier.
