Rent-To-Own Solar in Malaysia: Benefits & How It Works

What Is Rent-To-Own (RTO) Solar?

Going solar is one of the most smartest ways to cut your electricity bills and reduce your carbon footprint. But for many Malaysian homeowners, the upfront cost of solar panels can be a real barrier.

Rent-To-Own (RTO) Solar makes it easier.

This flexible plan lets you install a full solar system with zero upfront cost and pay in fixed monthly instalments instead. You enjoy the savings from day one, while still owning the system over time.

In this guide, we'll break down how Rent-To-Own Solar works in Malaysia and why it could be the most practical way to power your home with clean energy.

Why Rent-To-Own Solar Makes Sense

Rent-To-Own (RTO) Solar is a smarter, lower-risk way to enjoy all the benefits of solar — without the heavy upfront cost. Here’s why more homeowners in Malaysia are making the switch:

1. Zero Upfront Cost

No need to save up RM24,000 or take out a big loan. With RTO, you pay a fixed monthly fee from RM267 and start saving from day one. It's solar made accessible, without the financial strain.

2. Save More on Day one

Your monthly solar fee is often cheaper than their electricity bill — sometimes by as much as 70%. That means you start seeing savings immediately, not 6 years down the line.

3. Free Maintenance, Repairs & Performance Guarantee

With Rent-To-Own Solar, GetSolar covers all maintenance and servicing — from inverter faults to routine check-ups. You'll never be caught off guard by surprise repair bills.

Plus, with our performance guarantee, you're protected if your solar system doesn't deliver as expected, we'll pay you the difference. That's our commitment to your savings.

4. Keep Your Capital Free

Instead of locking up RM24,000 in a solar system, keep your funds for what matters most — your business, savings, or emergency needs. Rent-To-Own solar lets you enjoy solar for just RM267/month, without compromising on returns.

Which Solar Option Suits You Best?

Rent-To-Own is ideal for:

• First-time homeowners
• Families with limited upfront cash
• Anyone who prefers flexibility and peace of mind

But if you have the savings upfront and plan to stay in your home for 15+ years, a one-time purchase may give you more long-term savings though it comes with higher risk and fewer guarantees.
