If you’ve been thinking about going solar in 2025, chances are you’ve heard about NEM 4.0 — Malaysia’s upcoming update to the Net Energy Metering scheme. But with NEM 3.0 still active, many homeowners are wondering:
“Should I wait… or just install now?”
Here’s a simple breakdown to help you decide.
⚡ What We Know About NEM 3.0 (Right Now)
Under NEM 3.0, Malaysian homeowners enjoy:
- Credit for excess solar exported to TNB
- 10-year contract period
- Faster ROI thanks to rising electricity costs
- Programs like NEM Rakyat, still available (while quota lasts)
- Thousands of homes are already saving RM300–RM500/month, even without rebates — and that savings starts immediately after installation.
What About NEM 4.0?
As of now, NEM 4.0 hasn’t been officially launched. Expected changes may include:
- Modified export credit rates
- New rules for contract period or credit usage
- Greater integration with smart meters or battery storage
- Possibly less favorable terms for latecomers
- But without confirmation, waiting is a gamble — and you may miss the current window of benefits.
✅ Why “Now” Might Be Better
- NEM 3.0 quota is still available but limited
- Savings begin immediately, especially with current TNB tariff
- System payback is still within 4–5 years
- If NEM 4.0 turns out better, upgrades may still be allowed later
- In other words: You lose nothing by starting now — but risk more by waiting.
