After introducing its subscription-based solar plan last year, Maxis is now expanding its Maxis Home Solar offering with a new outright purchase option for homeowners in Peninsular Malaysia.
The new option is aimed at users who prefer full ownership of their solar photovoltaic (PV) system instead of committing to a long-term subscription plan.
According to Maxis, customers who opt for outright purchase can potentially reduce their monthly electricity bills by up to 80%, with the initial investment potentially recoverable within three to five years. The telco is also offering 0% interest instalment plans of up to 36 months through selected partner banks.
The move comes amid increasing interest in home solar adoption following rising electricity costs and the government’s push for greater energy self-sufficiency through the Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme (Solar ATAP).
Under the ATAP programme, you can get offset on energy charge for a contract period of 10-years. There’s no quota limitations and domestic customers with 3-phase wiring are allowed to get a higher system size of up to 15kW.
Maxis Home Solar outright purchase pricing and benefits
The outright purchase option starts from RM20,499, or from RM570/month via a 36-month 0% interest EzyPay instalment plan. Unlike the subscription model, customers fully own the solar system from the start.
As part of a limited-time promotion, customers who sign up before 31 May 2026 will also receive up to (3+2) five years of complimentary maintenance, insurance and solar performance monitoring. According to Maxis, the insurance coverage includes accidental damage protection for components such as solar panels and inverters.
Maxis says the outright purchase option is best suited for homeowners who want to maximise long-term savings and ownership value.
Maxis Home Solar subscription plan still available
For customers who prefer lower upfront costs, Maxis will continue offering its existing subscription-based solar plan which was launched in 2025. Under the subscription model, customers only need to pay an upfront fee of RM1,000, followed by monthly payments from RM256 over a contract period of 10 years.
Maxis says subscription customers can enjoy electricity bill savings of up to 25% from day one, with maintenance, insurance and monitoring included throughout the contract period.
The service is open to all homeowners with landed properties throughout Peninsular Malaysia.
