Commercial solar is one of the highest-ROI investments available to Malaysian businesses today. With TNB commercial tariff C1 at 43.60 sen/kWh and C2 at 38.00 sen/kWh, a properly-sized rooftop system reduces monthly electricity bills by 30–50% from day one. Factories, hotels, warehouses, offices, and retail premises across Malaysia are switching to solar to lock in energy savings, qualify for the GITA 60% Green Investment Tax Allowance (deadline December 31, 2026), and access PPA zero-upfront financing where no capital expenditure is required.

Understanding your TNB tariff category is the first step in sizing your commercial solar system. The key commercial tariffs in Malaysia for 2026 are:
Commercial solar generation peaks between 8am–5pm — exactly when most businesses consume the most electricity. Under Solar ATAP (effective January 2026), solar energy offsets your consumption at full tariff value during business hours, delivering the maximum 30–50% bill reduction. Surplus generation is exported to the grid at the System Marginal Price (SMP). Proper system sizing to match your load profile — targeting 80–90% self-consumption — is critical for optimal ROI.
A typical 100 kWp commercial rooftop system produces approximately 120,000–140,000 kWh annually in Malaysia's equatorial climate. At C1 tariff rates, this translates to RM 52,000–61,000 in annual electricity savings — with fully installed system costs of RM 350,000–450,000 and a payback of 4–6 years before GITA, or as short as 2.5–4 years after claiming the 60% Green Investment Tax Allowance.
The Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA) is the most powerful financial incentive available to Malaysian businesses investing in solar. Companies can claim 60% of qualifying capital expenditure as a tax allowance against statutory income for a period of 3 years. For a RM 500,000 solar installation, the GITA saves approximately RM 72,000 in corporate tax (at 24% tax rate) — effectively reducing the net investment to RM 428,000 and shortening the payback period by 1–2 years.
The GITA deadline is December 31, 2026. Applications must be submitted through MGTC (Malaysian Green Technology Corporation) before this date. Trexon handles the full GITA application process as part of our commercial solar service — from MyHIJAU equipment certification to MIDA statutory income offset calculations. SEDA-registered EPCC installer status ensures your system meets all qualifying requirements.
A Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) allows Malaysian businesses to install commercial solar with zero upfront cost. Under PPA, Trexon installs and owns the solar system on your rooftop at no capital expenditure. Your business purchases the electricity generated at 15–30% below your current TNB tariff rate, achieving immediate bill savings from day one.
PPA terms typically run 10–20 years, after which ownership of the system can transfer to the building owner. This model is ideal for businesses with strong operating cash flow but limited CapEx budget, or companies that prefer to keep solar off the balance sheet as an operating expense (which qualifies for full OpEx deduction each year).

For businesses choosing outright purchase, Malaysian banks including Maybank, CIMB, Public Bank, and RHB offer green financing at 3.5–5.0% p.a. with tenures up to 10 years — eligible for full GITA benefit.
Indicative installed costs include panels, inverter, mounting, cabling, TNB Solar ATAP application, and commissioning. Prices are based on current equipment costs and are subject to site-specific variation.
| System Size | Installed Cost | Monthly Savings | Payback Period | Typical User |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 kWp | RM 35,000–50,000 | RM 1,200–1,800/mo | 5–6 years | Small office, clinic, restaurant |
| 30 kWp | RM 90,000–120,000 | RM 3,500–5,000/mo | 4–6 years | SME office, F&B, retail |
| 100 kWp | RM 280,000–380,000 | RM 10,000–15,000/mo | 3–4 years | Factory, hotel, school |
| 300 kWp | RM 780,000–1,000,000 | RM 28,000–40,000/mo | 3–4 years | Large factory, hospital, mall |
| 500 kWp | RM 1,200,000–1,600,000 | RM 45,000–65,000/mo | 2.5–4 years | Industrial campus, logistics hub |

Learn more →Commercial solar panel installation in Malaysia costs RM 35,000–120,000 for small 10–30 kWp systems (SME offices, clinics, restaurants), RM 120,000–400,000 for mid-size 30–100 kWp systems (factories, hotels, schools), and RM 400,000–1,800,000 for large 100–500 kWp commercial installations (large factories, malls, campuses). The exact cost depends on system size, roof type, inverter brand, and location. All prices include equipment, installation, TNB application, and commissioning. GITA 60% tax allowance can significantly reduce the effective net cost.
The typical ROI for commercial solar in Malaysia is 3–5 years. A 100 kWp system saves approximately RM 8,000–10,000 per month at current C1/C2 TNB tariff rates, generating RM 2.4 million in savings over 25 years on an investment of RM 350,000–450,000. The GITA 60% tax allowance further reduces effective payback to 2.5–4 years for qualifying companies.
Yes. Malaysian businesses that invest in solar energy systems are eligible for the Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA), which provides a 60% Investment Tax Allowance on qualifying capital expenditure. This can be offset against your statutory business income. For a RM 500,000 solar installation, the GITA saves approximately RM 72,000 in corporate tax. The GITA deadline is December 31, 2026 — applications must be submitted through MGTC before this date. Trexon handles all GITA paperwork as part of our commercial solar service.
Solar system sizing depends on your monthly TNB bill, daily operating hours, and available roof area. As a general guide: a monthly bill of RM 5,000–15,000 typically needs 30–50 kWp; RM 15,000–50,000 needs 100–200 kWp; RM 50,000+ needs 300 kWp or more. Our free commercial energy audit analyses your actual TNB bill and site to recommend the optimally sized system for maximum ROI. Use our calculator for an instant estimate.
Yes. Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) are available for commercial buildings in Malaysia. Under PPA, Trexon installs and owns the solar system at zero upfront cost to your business. You purchase the electricity generated at 15–30% below your current TNB tariff rate, achieving immediate savings from day one with no capital expenditure. PPA terms typically run 10–20 years, after which ownership transfers to the building owner.
Most commercial businesses in Malaysia are on TNB tariff C1 (low voltage commercial, 43.60 sen/kWh) or C2 (medium voltage commercial, 38.00 sen/kWh). Under the Solar ATAP framework (effective January 2026), solar energy offsets your consumption at full tariff value during business hours, delivering 30–50% bill reductions. Maximum demand charges under tariff E1/E2 can also be reduced by 20–40% with solar plus battery storage.

Malaysia's commercial electricity tariffs make solar one of the highest-ROI investments available to businesses today. The TNB commercial tariff C1 is 43.60 sen/kWh for low-voltage users and C2 is 38.00 sen/kWh for medium-voltage users. On top of energy charges, industrial businesses pay a maximum demand (MD) charge ranging from RM 30.30/kW (C1 low voltage) to RM 89.27/kW (E2 medium voltage peak/off-peak) — which solar, combined with battery storage, can reduce by 20–40%.
A typical 100 kWp commercial rooftop system produces approximately 120,000–140,000 kWh annually in Malaysia's equatorial climate. At C1 tariff rates, this translates to RM 52,000–61,000 in annual electricity savings. With fully installed system costs of RM 350,000–450,000, the payback period is 4–6 years before GITA — and as short as 2.5–4 years after claiming the 60% Green Investment Tax Allowance.
Understanding your TNB tariff category is the first step in sizing your commercial solar system. The key commercial tariffs in Malaysia are:
Commercial solar generation peaks between 8am–5pm — exactly when most businesses consume the most electricity. This alignment maximises self-consumption and delivers the highest tariff offset. Under Solar ATAP (NEM 3.0, effective January 2026), any surplus generation is exported to the grid at the System Marginal Price (SMP), but self-consumption at full tariff value is where the primary savings are achieved. Proper system sizing to match your load profile is therefore critical.
The Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA) is the most powerful financial incentive available to Malaysian businesses investing in solar. Companies can claim 60% of qualifying capital expenditure as a tax allowance against statutory income for a period of 3 years. For a RM 500,000 solar installation, the GITA saves approximately RM 72,000 in corporate tax (at 24% tax rate) — effectively reducing the net investment to RM 428,000 and shortening the payback period by 1–2 years.

Common questions from Malaysian businesses considering commercial solar
Commercial solar panel installation in Malaysia costs RM 35,000–120,000 for small 10–30 kWp systems (SME offices, clinics, restaurants), RM 120,000–400,000 for mid-size 30–100 kWp systems (factories, hotels, schools), and RM 400,000–1,800,000 for large 100–500 kWp commercial installations. Prices include equipment, mounting, inverter, cabling, TNB application, and commissioning. The GITA 60% tax allowance significantly reduces the effective cost.
The typical ROI for commercial solar in Malaysia is 3–5 years. A 100 kWp system saves approximately RM 8,000–10,000 per month at current C1 TNB tariff rates (43.60 sen/kWh), generating RM 2.4 million in savings over 25 years on an investment of RM 350,000–450,000. With the GITA 60% tax allowance, effective payback shortens to 2.5–4 years for qualifying companies.
Yes. Malaysian businesses investing in solar energy are eligible for GITA (Green Investment Tax Allowance) — a 60% allowance on qualifying capital expenditure that offsets your statutory business income. For a RM 500,000 solar installation, GITA can save approximately RM 72,000 in corporate tax. The deadline is December 31, 2026. Trexon handles all GITA paperwork including MGTC application and MyHIJAU certification as part of our commercial solar service.
Sizing depends on your TNB bill, operating hours, and roof area. A monthly bill of RM 3,000–8,000 typically needs 10–30 kWp; RM 8,000–30,000 needs 30–100 kWp; RM 30,000–200,000 needs 100–500 kWp. Our free commercial energy audit analyses your TNB bill and roof to design the optimal system for maximum ROI under Solar ATAP rules.
Yes. Under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), Trexon installs and owns the solar system at zero upfront cost. You pay only for the electricity consumed at 15–30% below TNB rates — immediate savings with no capital expenditure. PPA terms run 10–20 years, with ownership transfer options available at the end of the agreement.
Most commercial businesses in Malaysia are on TNB tariff C1 (43.60 sen/kWh) or C2 (38.00 sen/kWh). Under Solar ATAP (effective January 2026), solar offsets your consumption at full tariff value during business hours, delivering 30–50% bill reductions. Maximum demand charges under E1/E2 tariffs can also be reduced 20–40% with solar plus battery storage.

Trexon designs commercial solar systems for every business sector in Malaysia
Solar ATAP replaces the previous NEM 3.0 scheme as the primary commercial solar export programme in Malaysia. Here is what every business owner needs to know.
Tariff C1 Users (43.60 sen/kWh)
Low-voltage commercial buildings — offices, retail, restaurants, clinics. Every unit of solar consumed on-site offsets your bill at the full 43.60 sen/kWh rate.
Tariff C2 Users (38.00 sen/kWh)
Medium-voltage commercial and industrial buildings above 1 MW demand. Self-consumed solar offsets at 38.00 sen/kWh — still a substantial saving at scale.
Self-Consumption Priority
Solar ATAP prioritises maximising on-site consumption. System sizing should target 80–90% self-consumption to extract maximum tariff value.
Export at Displaced Cost Rate
Surplus electricity exported to the grid earns credit at the System Marginal Price (SMP) — lower than the full tariff. Oversizing your system is therefore suboptimal under ATAP.
Quota Allocation for Commercial Buildings
SEDA allocates Solar ATAP quota by state and sector. Commercial applicants should apply early — quota is released in tranches and popular states fill quickly.
