AMAZING SOLAR is a wholly owned subsidiary of TNB that focuses on green retail generation business. At the moment, we focus on the investment in rooftop solar PV for all retail customers.
AMAZING SOLAR offers a solution for customers who are interested in solar PV self-generation and selling the excess of solar energy under the Net Energy Metering Scheme (NEM).
We install solar PV system on your rooftop. The energy generated by solar will be used by your house to power all the electrical appliances, which means you buy less from TNB whenever the sun is shining.
If there is an excess or balance of energy, it will automatically flow to TNB grid. And if you package your installation with NEM, you will get credit for the excess energy to further reduce your bill. The rate of selling to TNB is the same rate as buying.
AMAZING SOLAR is offering a package that includes NEM where the house/ building consumes the solar energy first and sell the excess to TNB and get credit for it.
We have 2 specific programs for customers:
For Residential customers, we offer a standard package of 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 15 kWp systems. Nevertheless, we do cater for larger size installations after a site assessment is made.
There are 3 payment options available:
No. The program that you refer to is Feed-In Tariff (FIT). FiT allows customers to install it on their rooftop and sell all energy produced to TNB and get paid for it. The Government has stopped offering new quota for solar PV. Our product is packaged with NEM.
The concept of NEM is that the energy produced from the solar PV system installed will be consumed first, and any excess to be exported to the distribution licensee (such as TNB /SESB ).
The priority is for self-consumption. However, some premises, especially industry or manufacturing companies which may not be operating during the weekends, may have excess energy exported to the grid.
In return, customers account will be credited at the prevailing customer rate based on the 1:1 NEM announced by the YB Minister earlier. The credit shall be allowed to roll over for a maximum of 24 months. Read more about NEM at SEDA website.
Yes, if the customer’s consumption pattern demonstrated significant potential for surplus to be transmitted to the grid, we highly encourage customer to sign up for NEM to maximize the benefit of installing solar PV. We will advise you accordingly on the NEM registration.
For customers with consumption patterns less likely to have a potential surplus, NEM registration might not be required. However, we can register at customer’s request.
For residential customers, our package is inclusive of NEM. This is because for houses, the consumption of your house during weekdays/daytime is usually lower than what your solar PV system can produce. As such, with NEM, the excess energy that will automatically flow out to TNB grid will be compensated in terms of advance credit to your bill.
In simple terminology, in Malaysia, the Feed-In Tariff (FIT) scheme, allows the customers who are the Feed-in Approval Holders (FIAHs) to sell all electricity produced from renewables resources to Distribution Licensee, such as TNB at the FiT rate.
In Net Energy Metering (NEM), on the other hand, the electricity produced by the solar PV system must be consumed first, and only excess can be exported to the grid at one to one rate.

No, because the cost of the battery is high at the moment, making it not commercially viable to install solar PV with a battery. We are closely monitoring the price and as a AMAZING SOLAR customer, you will be among the first group of customers to own the battery when it is commercially viable soon.
However, with NEM that allows you to sell excess energy to TNB and be paid at the same rate as you buy from TNB, TNB becomes your ‘battery’ and you save the investment on the storage unit.
For PV module, we only use Tier 1 PV module i.e. Q-cells and Jinko.
The final choice of brand equipment that we will install is subject to final design and site assessment.
We use only the leading brands in inverter technology such as Sungrow. We give a manufacturer warranty of 5 years. You can also opt for an extended warranty.

AMAZING SOLAR offers zero CAPEX solution. It means no upfront required for the customer to install the solar system.
For residential customers,
Opt for our leasing plan for zero capex solution. Depending on your consumption, there is a possibility for residential customers to enjoy savings by installing the solar system. Expected savings based on your previous bill and solar system installation are indicated in our brochure. You can also opt for a personal loan that charges you a lower interest rate (compared to leasing).
For C&I customers,
On top of having zero CAPEX, you will be able to enjoy immediate electricity cost savings. The potential savings come from lower electricity tariffs from the solar PV system compared to the existing grid tariff. Not only that, the agreed solar tariff is also fixed throughout the contract duration, which means you are now able to hedge against future electricity rate increases. Maintenance is also covered throughout the contract period.

For residential customers:
Customer can also choose to put down a down payment to reduce the credit card, leasing or personal loan installment.
For Commercial & Industrial (C&I) customers:
Yes, your roof can sustain the weight of a solar panel.
