Residential Solar for Your Home
Power Your Home with Solar — Smarter, Cleaner, and More Cost-Efficient
Household solar systems are becoming an increasingly adopted solution. At JS Solar, we guide homeowners through the evolving rooftop solar landscape, helping you choose the right scheme and technology to maximise energy savings and sustainability.
Comparing Malaysia’s Residential Solar Schemes
| Scheme | How It Works | Best For | Key Benefits | Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NEM (Net Energy Metering) (ended June 2025) | Consume solar first; export excess to the grid at 1-to-1 credit. | Households with daytime + night usage. | Transparent crediting, easy savings. | Programme no longer open for new sign-ups. |
| SELCO (Self-Consumption) | All solar is used within your home; no grid export. | Homes with high daytime consumption (e.g., air-conditioning, appliances, EV charging). | Simple process, avoids reliance on export tariffs. | Surplus is wasted if not consumed. |
| SELCO + BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) | Store unused solar in batteries for later use (nighttime or during outages). | Families seeking maximum savings & reliability. | Reduce maximum demand charges, avoid peak tariffs, ensure backup during outages. | Higher upfront cost, but delivers strong long-term ROI. |
| Solar ATAP (launching Dec 2025) | Consume solar first; export surplus to the grid with credits based on System Marginal Price (SMP) (real-time market price). | Households wanting flexibility + market-linked returns. | Unlimited quota, larger system sizing allowed, potential higher credits during peak demand. | Credit values may fluctuate with market conditions. |
What Solar ATAP Brings to Homeowners
Unlimited Quotas & Broader Access
No more waiting for quota openings.
Dynamic Export Credits
Surplus energy is offset at SMP, which can increase value during peak demand periods.
Long-Term Offsets
Instead of fixed-term contracts or limited credit periods, ATAP allows lifetime offsets — meaning you continue to benefit from solar credits over the system’s lifetime.
