WHAT IS SURIA 1000 PROGRAMME?

FINAL CALL: 1st July 2009 to 1st Dec 2009

Residential: 3 to 10 kWp
Commercial: 3 to 30 kWp

SURIA 1000 is a national programme by the Malaysia Building Integrated Photovoltaic (MBIPV) Project funded by the
Government of Malaysia with support from United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Global Environment
Facility (GEF), Suruhanjaya Tenaga and the private sector. The programme targets at least 1,000 kWp of building
integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) installations at residential and commercial buildings. These BIPV systems will allow the
buildings owners to generate their own electricity from the solar energy.
st
SURIA 1000 operates on a bidding process in which the call for bidding will be open twice a year, starting from 1
December 2006 and will be repeated every six months (every June and December) ending in 2009. The programme is
applicable to all existing and new premises, but limited to grid-connected BIPV applications.
st st
This final call (from 1 July 2009 to 1 December 2009) is applicable to residential houses (min 3 to max 10kWp)
and commercial buildings (min 3 to max 30kWp). The total PV capacity offered in the final call is 340 kWp.

So, why wait? Apply for SURIA 1000 now and you will have the opportunity to generate your own electricity from the
sun, and effectively reduce reliance on conventional electricity from the utility. This will also reduce your electricity bill!
