⚖️ TNB Tariff Comparison: Paying RM400 Monthly vs Installing Solar Panels

Let’s say your electricity bill is RM400 per month — not uncommon for many Malaysian families in 2025, especially with TNB’s updated residential tariff. You might assume it’s just the cost of living…
But what if you could redirect that money into a long-term solution — and eventually pay almost nothing?

That’s exactly what many homeowners are doing with solar panels.

Option A: Keep Paying TNB RM400/Month

  • RM400 x 12 months = RM4,800 per year
  • Over 5 years = RM24,000
  • Over 20 years = RM96,000+

And that’s assuming rates stay flat — which history shows they rarely do. You’re essentially renting electricity forever.

☀️ Option B: Install Solar & Reduce TNB Dependence

  • One-time solar investment: RM20,000–RM25,000 (typical home system)
  • Monthly savings: RM300–RM500, depending on your usage
  • Payback period: 4–5 years
  • Savings after that: Nearly free electricity for 20+ years

Instead of spending on bills, you’re investing in your own power source — and gaining energy independence.

Which Makes More Sense?

If you’re already paying RM400+ to TNB each month, a solar system isn’t a luxury — it’s a smarter way to use the same money. With the added benefit of Net Energy Metering (NEM 3.0), the numbers work even faster in your favour.
