Commercial Solar and NEM NOVA

The Net Energy Metering (NEM) NOVA program in Malaysia is a government initiative under NEM 3.0 tailored for the commercial and industrial sectors. It allows businesses to install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for self-consumption and to export any surplus energy back to the grid. Unlike residential NEM Rakyat, NEM NOVA credits exported energy at the System Marginal Price (SMP) — which is typically lower than the retail electricity tariff. This makes proper system design absolutely crucial: to maximize financial savings, solar systems must be sized and optimized to match the building's actual energy usage. Oversized systems that consistently export excess energy may not achieve the expected return on investment. At SolarMY, we help businesses design efficient, data-driven solar setups that prioritize self-consumption and reduce reliance on the grid — ensuring the best possible outcome under the NEM NOVA scheme.
