Treat every quote as a proposal to verify—not a guarantee of approval, savings or programme credit.
What is Solar ATAP Malaysia?
Solar ATAP is Malaysia’s current rooftop solar programme framework for eligible TNB consumers in Peninsular Malaysia. A solar photovoltaic system is primarily designed for self-consumption, while eligible surplus may be exported under the programme’s credit mechanism. The exact technical and application requirements depend on the consumer group, proposed capacity and grid connection conditions.
