SuRIA Home Rebate 2026: Eligibility, Calculation and Deadline
In this guide
How the rebate is calculated
The registered rate is a one-time RM600 per eligible commissioned kWac, capped at RM3,000 per eligible account [source] [source]. Under that formula, 3 kWac × RM600 = RM1,800; 5 kWac reaches RM3,000; larger systems remain capped [source]. At 8 kWac, the uncapped multiplication is RM4,800, but the per-account cap limits the calculated amount to RM3,000; capacity above 5 kWac does not raise that cap. These examples explain the formula, not individual eligibility or available funds.
| Illustrative commissioned capacity | Formula | Maximum by cap |
|---|---|---|
| 3 kWac | 3 × RM600 = RM1,800 | RM1,800 |
| 5 kWac | 5 × RM600 = RM3,000 | RM3,000 |
| 8 kWac | 8 × RM600 exceeds cap | RM3,000 |
SuRIA is separate from ATAP export credits. Under the cited rule, exported energy offsets the energy component in the same bill month; this is not guaranteed cash income [source]. Do not oversize solely to reach a rebate cap.
What to confirm before paying
The source guide describes eligible applicants as Malaysian citizens with a domestic TNB account in Peninsular Malaysia, installing a new system under Solar ATAP through a SEDA-registered RPVSP. Verify the current official notice and your actual account and premises: this guide does not approve a personal application. The source gives a 31 December 2026 commissioning deadline or earlier exhaustion of the allocation; reconfirm the current window before relying on it.
Ask the provider to state in writing who submits the application, how current quota is checked, the commissioning schedule, the rebate assumptions in the contract, and the net amount you owe if a rebate is unavailable or rejected. A screenshot or projected rebate is not proof that funds are reserved. Do not assume the rebate is an upfront discount.
Savings depend on more than the rebate
Solar ATAP began on 1 January 2026 according to the cited programme record [source]. Bill savings also depend on tariff blocks, monthly adjustment and daytime self-consumption; use your own bill and a written site quote rather than treating the rebate as total project economics [source] [source] [source] [source] [source].
For context, the cited RP4 references list base tariff components of RM0.4443/kWh through 1,500 kWh/month and RM0.5443/kWh above that band [source] [source] [source]. The September 2026 AFA reference adds RM0.0367/kWh once monthly use exceeds 800 kWh [source] [source]. These are tariff components, not a full bill total or solar-savings estimate; check the account class and billing month on your own bill.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the SuRIA rebate?
Multiply eligible commissioned inverter capacity in kWac by RM600, then apply the RM3,000 per-account cap; the lower amount applies [source] [source].
Can I apply at SEDA myself?
The source page says the application is handled through a SEDA-registered RPVSP. Verify the provider's current registration and the current scheme terms before payment.
