HOW A SOLAR PPA WORKS

A PPA Needs a
Third-Party Owner

Under a PPA, a third-party asset owner owns the system on your roof and sells you its output. Trexon's own routes are outright ownership (GITA-eligible) or a finance lease.

Third-Party Ownership
The asset owner, not your company, owns the system for the contract term
Per-kWh Rate
You pay for the solar output at the rate set in the PPA contract
No GITA for the Offtaker
GITA is claimed by the asset owner; your company cannot claim it on a system it does not own
Flexible Terms
PPA contracts often run 15-25 years, with end-of-term options set in the contract

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Malaysian banks offer commercial solar loans?

Several Malaysian banks offer solar or green financing; for example, Maybank Solar PV Financing offers up to RM100,000 for up to 10 years at a floating rate. Terms and rates change, so check current terms with the bank. Trexon's own finance route is a finance lease through Mitsubishi HC Capital Malaysia (2 to 5 years, you own the system), subject to the lessor's credit approval.

What is the minimum project size for commercial solar financing?

The minimum project size depends on the lender. Trexon's own routes, outright purchase and the Mitsubishi HC Capital finance lease, are priced per project from your TNB bills. Send your bills for a free quote.

What is the difference between a PPA and a solar loan for commercial use?

A PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) requires no upfront capital for the system — a third-party asset owner owns and maintains it, and you pay a per-kWh rate set in the PPA contract. Trexon does not offer PPAs; its own routes are ownership or a finance lease. A solar loan means you own the system outright after repayment and capture 100% of savings, but requires upfront financing. PPA suits businesses prioritising cash flow; loans suit those maximising long-term ROI and GITA tax incentives.

Is commercial solar eligible for GITA (Green Investment Tax Allowance)?

Yes. Qualifying commercial solar installations in Malaysia are eligible for GITA (Green Investment Tax Allowance), which provides a 60% Tier 2 allowance on qualifying capital expenditure (100% Tier 1 applies to BESS and EV charging infrastructure, not solar). This allowance can be offset against 70% of statutory income. Equipment must be listed on the MyHIJAU directory, and the application is submitted to MGTC after the system is commissioned, by 31 December 2026. Trexon provides full documentation support for GITA applications.

How long does commercial solar loan approval take in Malaysia?

Approval time depends on the bank or lessor and on how complete your application is. Trexon prepares the technical proposal and financial projections to support your application. Check current terms with the bank.
