Solar Panel Installation in Sarawak

Yes. Sarawak is on SESCO, so the scheme is NEM Sarawak, not Peninsular Solar ATAP and not the SuRIA rebate. The appointed SESCO Registered Electrical Contractor submits the NEM application on your behalf and carries out testing and commissioning. Sarawak Energy issues the acceptance letter, installs the PV meter, and determines final approval.

30-year performance warranty on the panels, 12-year product warranty, 10-year manufacturer warranty on the inverter, and a 5-year workmanship warranty on the installation.

You do, directly to Sarawak Energy. It is RM500 for a single-phase supply and RM1,000 for three phase, and it is not included in our price. Any other connection charges are also payable to Sarawak Energy. We tell you this upfront rather than at signing.

Sarawak systems start at RM29,499 under our East Malaysia pricing, which carries the higher cost of shipping, mobilising and licensing work in Borneo. We do not publish a fixed price per system size — the figure is quoted from your own Sarawak Energy bill and roof.

Check that the NEM application is filed by a SESCO Registered Electrical Contractor. Trexon Energy installs in Sarawak through local partners who hold that registration and file the NEM application.

The timeline is confirmed for each project after NEM Sarawak approval; commissioning is by Sarawak Energy through our local partner. We do not promise an installation date before approval.

NEM Sarawak (Net Energy Metering) is Sarawak Energy's own scheme — Solar ATAP and the SuRIA Home rebate are Peninsular TNB programmes and do not apply here. Your supply is metered both ways, so the energy your system exports is netted against the energy you consume on your Sarawak Energy bill. Domestic inverter capacity is capped at 10 kWac for single phase and 30 kWac for three phase, with 50 kWac the maximum for an individual system.

Yes. Sarawak Energy pays a NEM subsidy directly to the customer: RM8,000 for 2–3.5 kWac, RM10,000 for above 3.5–6 kWac, and RM12,000 for above 6–50 kWac. It covers landed residential properties on a domestic tariff, the NEM contract must be signed by 31 December 2026, and it is first-come, first-served against a 10 MW quota. You pay Trexon the full price and claim the subsidy yourself — the form is due within 7 days of signing and Sarawak Energy pays it into your own bank account. Separately, Sarawak Energy charges you RM500 (single phase) or RM1,000 (three phase) for the PV meter.

Yes. Many areas in Sarawak's interior — including longhouses, plantations, and remote communities in Kapit, Belaga, and Baram — are not connected to SEB's grid. Our local partners can quote off-grid solar + battery systems for longhouses and plantations in rural Sarawak; every site is assessed separately.

The Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) covers five industrial zones: Samalaju, Bintulu, Tanjung Manis, Mukah, and Tunoh. Heavy industries within SCORE including aluminium smelting, glass, and steel have high energy demands and ESG decarbonisation targets. Our local partners can quote large-scale industrial solar for SCORE facilities.

SEB/SESCO (Sarawak Energy) operates independently from TNB (Tenaga Nasional Berhad) which serves Peninsular Malaysia. Key differences: Solar ATAP and the SuRIA Home rebate are Peninsular TNB programmes and do not apply in Sarawak — you apply under NEM Sarawak instead; tariff rates differ (SESCO domestic: RM0.285–RM0.571/kWh); the application process is separate; domestic capacity is capped at 10 kWac single phase and 30 kWac three phase; and Sarawak licenses installers through its own Electrical Inspectorate Unit (EIU), not Peninsular SEDA.
