Electricity bills in Malaysia are rising — and the latest TNB tariff structure has pushed more homeowners to reconsider their long-term energy plans. If your monthly usage is above 1,000 kWh, your bills may already be hitting RM500 or more.
So, is it time to go solar?
Short answer: yes — now more than ever.
⚡ What’s New in the 2025 Tariff?
Under the latest TNB residential tariff structure:
- Usage below 1,500 kWh/month is charged at RM0.4514/kWh
- Usage above 1,500 kWh/month is charged at RM0.553008/kWh
This tiered pricing means the more electricity you use, the more you pay per unit — and many households are now feeling the pressure of RM600–RM800 monthly bills.

☀️ Can Solar Still Help You Save?
Absolutely. With a properly sized solar home system, homeowners are already seeing:
- Monthly bill reductions of RM300–RM500
- Payback periods averaging 4–5 years
- Long-term protection against future rate hikes
- Daytime usage — especially for air conditioners, water heaters, and appliances — can be offset significantly, cutting down your TNB dependence.
