PETALING JAYA: The Solar Acce­le­rated Transition Action Prog­ram­me, or Solar Atap, introduces greater flexibility and stron­ger market alignment, and will help to improve the overall attractiveness of rooftop solar adoption, say industry players. “The NEM framework played a pivotal role in establishing Malay­sia’s rooftop solar market by enabling consumers to offset electri­city consumption through self-gene­ration. Sim said Solar Atap introduces market-based energy offset mechanisms and provides a more adap­tive framework to support long-term rooftop solar growth. “This programme empowers consumers to optimise self-consumption while aligning rooftop solar development with national energy transition goals,” he said. As for residential consumers, he said more details are needed on the export rate applicable under Solar Atap.
