Trexon Energy is Sabah's leading solar panel and off-grid energy provider, serving Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, Tawau, and remote interior areas across Borneo. We install residential solar systems from RM14,999, off-grid solar with LiFePO4 battery storage for plantations and island resorts, commercial rooftop solar up to 500 kWp, EV chargers from RM2,150, and battery backup systems. With 300+ installations in Sabah, SESB and ECoS certification, and IEC 61701 salt-mist resistant panels, we specialise in systems engineered for Borneo's humidity, coastal conditions, and frequent SESB blackouts. Free site assessment available across all of Sabah including remote and island locations.
Sabah is not KL. Grid-tied systems designed for Peninsular Malaysia are useless when there is no grid. Here is why off-grid is the only real solution for most of Sabah.
60% of Sabah's landmass has no SESB grid connection. Interior plantations, islands, and rural kampungs need off-grid solutions — not grid-tied systems designed for KL.
A 10kVA generator burns RM100-200/day in diesel. That's RM36,000-72,000/year in fuel alone, plus maintenance, oil changes, and replacement every 3-5 years.
Salt air corrodes cheap panels in 3 years. Our IEC 61701 Level 6 salt-mist resistant panels and marine-grade mounting are built for Sabah's coastal and tropical conditions.
Sabah has the highest SAIDI index in Malaysia — even urban KK suffers frequent outages. Standard grid-tied inverters shut down completely during blackouts. Ours don't.
Stop paying for unreliable electricity. Stop feeding diesel into a noisy generator. Go off-grid and take control of your power — permanently.

Everything you need to know about going off-grid in Sabah.
Our LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries are rated for 6,000+ cycles at 80% depth of discharge. In real-world Sabah conditions, that translates to 15-20 years of daily use. They come with a 10-year manufacturer warranty. Unlike lead-acid batteries (which last 3-5 years), LiFePO4 requires zero maintenance — no topping up water, no equalization charging.
Yes. A 5kWp system with 10kWh battery can comfortably run one 1HP inverter aircon unit for 8-10 hours daily alongside other household loads. For multiple aircon units, we size the system accordingly. We recommend inverter-type aircon units for maximum efficiency with solar.
Our systems are designed with autonomy reserves. The standard 5kWp package provides 2 days of full autonomy with zero sun. For critical applications (telco towers, medical facilities), we design 3-5 days autonomy. In practice, Sabah almost never has zero sun — even on cloudy days, panels produce 20-40% of rated output.
A typical 10kVA diesel generator costs: RM100-200/day fuel + RM200-500/month maintenance + replacement every 3-5 years (RM15-30K). That's RM50,000-90,000/year. An equivalent off-grid solar system costs RM45,000-80,000 once, lasts 25+ years, and has near-zero running costs. Most customers see full payback within 1.5-3 years.
Yes, this is our specialty. We've installed on islands in Semporna (boat-delivered), plantations in deep Kinabatangan (4WD access only), hilltop homes in Kundasang, and longhouses in interior Sabah. We have local logistics partners and stock equipment in our Inanam warehouse for fast deployment.
No. Off-grid systems are completely independent of SESB and do not require any utility approval, meter change, or Solar ATAP application. You simply install and start generating power. For hybrid systems (grid + battery), SESB and ECoS approval is required, which we handle for you.
Minimal. Panel cleaning every 2-3 months (rain does most of the work), annual inverter inspection, and battery health check. We offer annual maintenance packages starting from RM500/year. Compare this to a generator that needs oil changes, filter replacements, belt changes, and an operator.
Absolutely. Our systems are modular. Start with a 3kWp system for basic needs and add more panels + batteries as your needs grow. The inverter can handle expansion, and LiFePO4 batteries can be paralleled. Many plantation owners start with worker quarters and expand to processing operations.
Urban, interior, and island — we install anywhere in Sabah.
