This post is an updates for “Earn Money by Generating Electricity at Home” article published earlier. Recently, Dewan Rakyat passed the bill on the Renewable Energy (RE) Act 2010. Under the bill, the Government is to implement the feed-in tariff (FiT) system.

Consumers can install solar panel or photovoltaic system at home and it would be a secondary income for them.
These are the summary about the program,
