> Malaysia’s first rooftop aggregation initiative for solar systems is now live. The program allows homeowners to lease or rent their rooftop for solar generation, with the electricity produced sold to commercial and domestic customers within a 5 km radius
> The CREAM program follows the implementation of the [Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme](https://www.pv-magazine.com/2024/09/23/malaysian-scheme-lets-businesses-buy-on-grid-renewables-from-developers/) (CRESS) program in September 2024, which allows businesses to purchase green electricity directly from renewable energy developers through the national grid.
These two punch reforms is probably the way to go for scaling rooftop solar in middle income countries where the middle class is more constrained in their ability to borrow money relative to their Western counterparts.
