What Are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)?
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) represent the environmental attributes of clean energy that is generated. Every 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of clean electricity generated by a solar system equates to 1 REC.
These certificates are purchased by companies looking to offset carbon emissions and meet ESG targets — while allowing solar panel system owners to earn from their solar PV system without affecting their savings from electricity generation.

Yes, under the Net Energy Metering (NEM) program, you can sell excess solar energy generated by your PV system back to TNB. For the surplus energy exported, you earn credits on a “one-on-one” offset basis, meaning 1 kWh exported = 1 kWh credit offset against 1 kWh consumed from the grid. These credits will first be used to offset your monthly TNB bill, potentially reducing it to zero. Any surplus credits will roll over and be used to offset your bill for future month.
However, do note that credits are only valid until the end of the calendar year — any unused credits will expire after this period. The NEM program is open to residential customers and other eligible users with approved solar PV systems.
The Solar for Rakyat Incentive Scheme (SolaRIS) offers rebates for new net-metering users, providing RM1,000 per kWac, with a maximum rebate of RM4,000. To receive the rebate, you must be a TNB residential customer and a Malaysian citizen. This scheme is available for systems commissioned by March 31, 2025, or until the quota is reached.
Absolutely! Solar panels are a smart move to cut down on your power bills while helping save the planet.
The amount of savings you can enjoy will largely depend on 3 factors:
- Your energy consumption patterns
- Your existing electricity retailer and utility rate
- The number of solar panels that your roof can accommodate
Plus, thanks to Malaysia's net metering, you can also earn from selling extra power back to the grid. You’re looking at a payback period of 5-8 years for a system that will last you over 20 years. A pretty solid investment, if you ask us.
