Malaysian homeowners who invest in rooftop solar panel installation gain 2 immediate financial benefits: lower monthly electricity bills and higher property values. With current energy tariffs and green technology incentives, homeowners can significantly reduce their monthly TNB bills while enhancing their property's market appeal.
Expected Energy Cost Savings for Homeowners
The latest TNB tariff structure (July 2025) determines your potential savings:
| Consumption Component | Current Rate (RM) |
| Energy (<1,500 kWh) | 0.2703/kWh |
| Energy (>1,500 kWh) | 0.3703/kWh |
| Network Charge | 0.1285/kWh |
| Capacity Charge | 0.0455/kWh |
Net-Metering Payback Scenarios & Forecasts
Solar systems help reduce electricity costs through:
- Direct consumption savings during daylight hours
- Lower peak consumption charges
- Reduced exposure to future tariff increases
- Smart energy management opportunities.
Beyond immediate bill reduction, these savings contribute to the system's long-term return on investment.
Time-of-Use Tariff Benefits for Solar Users
Maximise your solar savings by:
- Using major appliances during peak solar hours (11am-5pm)
- Scheduling high-consumption activities for daylight periods
- Monitoring real-time energy production
- Optimising energy usage patterns.
These advantages become particularly valuable as energy costs continue to rise.
