PUTRAJAYA: The government has introduced solar rebates under the Sustainable Rebate and Incentive Assistance (SuRIA) Home programme to ease the public's burden amid the global supply crisis caused by conflicts in the Middle East.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said domestic consumers who install the Enhanced Solar Energy Transition Program (Solar ATAP) system and meet eligibility criteria can receive a rebate of RM600 per 1kWac of solar installation, up to a maximum of RM3,000, equivalent to 5kWac.
SuRIA Home is an incentive launched for those installing solar panels under the Solar ATAP programme, which was rolled out in January.
"Following calls inquiring if there would be any incentives provided, we have decided to allocate a RM120 million incentive from June 1 until December this year," he said.
Fadillah, who is also Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, said this to reporters after officiating the initiative at the ministry's monthly assembly here today.
Also present were deputy minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad and secretary-general Datuk Seri Mad Zaidi Mohd Karli.
Fadillah said the programme is expected to benefit between 45,000 and 50,000 households with an accumulated solar capacity of around 250MW, expanding residential rooftop solar usage nationwide.
The SuRIA Home programme will be open for solar installations under Solar ATAP operating up to Dec 31, 2026, or until the 250MW quota is filled, whichever comes first.
The implementation of the rebate will begin on June 1, 2026, and will be on a first-come, first-served basis, he said. - NST
