Net Energy Metering (NEM)

EXPAND ALL COLLAPSE ALL

• What is NEM?

  Net Energy Metering (NEM) is a government initiative designed to help consumers lower their electricity bills. It allows you to export excess solar energy generated by your system to the TNB grid, reducing your TNB electricity charges. The current contract tenure with TNB is 10 years.

• What happens after 10 years?

  After 10 years, you can still use the power generated by your solar system to reduce your electricity bill. However, any excess solar energy will no longer offset future electricity charges. To make the most of excess energy, consider installing a solar battery to store it for later use. Stay tuned for updates on our Maxis offers!

• What is the maximum system size capacity allowed to be installed under the NEM program?

  For residential consumers, the maximum allowable capacity for a solar PV system is:

  • 12 kWp for a single-phase system
  • 72 kWp for a three-phase system

• Am I eligible for NEM?

  Yes, the NEM scheme is available to individuals with residential properties. To qualify, ensure that the name on your TNB billing account matches the name on your property title.

• Will you help me apply for NEM?

  Yes, we will assist you throughout the entire process, from consultation to getting your home powered up with solar energy.

• I am not a Malaysian Citizen, am I able to install solar?

  Yes, you can install solar as long as the property and TNB bill are under your name.

• What happens if I have excess generated energy after neting off my consumption?

  Any excess solar power generated will be exported to the utility grid, earning you NEM credits. These credits can be used to offset your electricity bill in the following months. 

• Is there an expiry period over the unused surplus energy that has been generated?

  Yes, surplus energy credits are valid only until the end of the calendar year. Any unused credits will be forfeited after that period.

• I'm still on the fence, should I install solar now?

  It’s best not to delay, as the NEM initiative has a limited quota. Plus, there’s a rebate of up to RM 4,000 available. Register your interest with us today for a free consultation to help you make an informed decision.

• After signing the proposal, how long would it take for me to start enjoying the benefits of solar panels and Net Energy Metering (NEM)?

  It will take approximately 4 - 6 Weeks after signing the proposal to start enjoying clean renewable energy for your home
