Which States in Malaysia Save the Most from Solar? (Penang, KL, Johor, etc.)

If you live in Malaysia and your electricity bill is constantly climbing, you’ve probably asked:
“Is solar really worth it where I live?”

The answer? Yes — but some states save even more than others. Let’s take a closer look at how solar performs across Malaysia in 2025.


☀️ Top 4 States That Benefit Most from Solar

1. Selangor

  • High home ownership & landed properties
  • Heavy electricity usage due to air-cond, EVs, WFH setups
  • Residents often save RM400–RM600/month
  • Fastest average solar ROI: 4 years

2. Penang

  • Excellent sunlight year-round
  • Dense residential zones (Bayan Lepas, Bukit Mertajam)
  • Rooftop installations common for double-storey homes
  • Typical savings: RM300–RM500/month

3. Kuala Lumpur (KL)

  • Many high-usage homes with large bills
  • Ideal for landed properties in Setapak, Ampang, Bangsar
  • Strong savings despite occasional shading from tall buildings
  • Great adoption under NEM Rakyat

4. Johor

  • Strong solar uptake in areas like Skudai, JB, Kulai
  • High TNB consumption = high return
  • Popular among both residential and commercial users

💡 What Determines Solar Savings by State?

  • Sunlight availability (more sun = more solar output)
  • Average monthly TNB bill (the higher the bill, the bigger the savings)
  • Roof type and direction (ideal tilt = faster ROI)
  • Availability of Net Energy Metering (NEM)

Most states in Malaysia receive 4–5 hours of peak sunlight daily, making solar a strong investment nationwide.
