### English
* **Launch Date:** The Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme (Solar ATAP) officially launched on January 1, 2026.
* **NEM Replacement:** Solar ATAP replaces the previous Net Energy Metering (NEM) 3.0 scheme, which stopped accepting new applications on June 30, 2025.
* **No Fixed Quota:** Unlike the previous NEM system, Solar ATAP operates without a fixed national quota, allowing for continuous, year-round enrollment.
* **Self-Consumption Focus:** The scheme prioritizes self-consumption; excess energy exported to the TNB grid provides monthly bill credits, but these do not carry over to subsequent months.
* **Capacity Enhancements:** 
    * **Residential:** Three-phase home capacity increased to 15kW, while single-phase remains at 5kW.
    * **Commercial:** Industrial/Commercial users can now size systems up to 100% of their Maximum Demand (capped at 1MW).
* **Export Rates:** Residential users receive credits based on their energy charge rate, while commercial users are compensated at the monthly System Marginal Price (SMP).

### 中文 (Chinese)
* **启动日期：** 太阳能加速转型行动计划（Solar ATAP）已于 2026 年 1 月 1 日正式启动。
* **取代 NEM：** Solar ATAP 取代了之前的净能源计量（NEM）3.0 计划，该计划已于 2025 年 6 月 30 日停止受理新申请。
* **取消固定配额：** 与以往的 NEM 机制不同，Solar ATAP 不再设定全国固定配额，支持全年持续申请。
* **强调自发自用：** 该计划优先考虑自发自用。出口到 TNB 电网的多余电能可获得月度账单抵扣，但抵扣额度不可结转至次月。
* **容量升级：**
    * **住宅：** 三相电源住宅的系统容量提升至 15kW，单相电源住宅维持在 5kW。
    * **商业：** 工商业用户可根据最高需量（Maximum Demand）安装最高 100% 的系统容量（上限为 1MW）。
* **抵扣费率：** 住宅用户根据能源收费标准获得抵扣，商业用户则按月度系统边际价格（SMP）结算。
