If you run a business in Malaysia, you’ve probably heard about NEM NOVA — the Net Energy Metering scheme that allows commercial users to offset their TNB bills with solar energy.
But how exactly do you apply?
✅ Here’s a step-by-step guide for commercial property owners and tenants looking to install solar under NEM.
📋 What Is NEM NOVA?
NEM NOVA (Net Offset Virtual Aggregation) is the commercial version of the Net Energy Metering program.
It allows businesses to:
- Use solar energy directly for operations
- Export unused solar energy back to TNB as credits
- Offset multiple meter accounts under one business (in some cases)
🧾 NEM Application Process for Businesses
