Resilient Green Power

Our systems are grid-tied and operate in parallel with TNB supply at all times. The solar + BESS system is designed as an additive power source — it reduces load on the grid connection and improves power quality, never replacing it as the primary supply. A correctly specified BESS can keep selected loads supplied during grid events; switching performance depends on the equipment chosen and is confirmed in the design.

Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) = Total facility power / IT equipment power. On-site solar changes where your energy comes from, not how much the facility uses, so it does not by itself improve PUE. It lowers grid energy cost and Scope 2 emissions; PUE gains come from cooling and power-distribution efficiency work.

Under GITA, qualifying solar capex receives a 60% allowance (Tier 2) and BESS capex a 100% allowance (Tier 1), set off against up to 70% of statutory income. For a RM2.4M (1 MWp) solar system, that is a RM1.44M allowance — worth up to RM345,600 in corporate tax (at 24% rate) if fully absorbed. Data centers qualify as commercial/industrial consumers under the GITA framework. The system must be commissioned and the GITA application submitted to MGTC by 31 December 2026.

It can support it. Trexon can prepare a GHG Scope 2 data report from your system output to support CDP, GRI and RE100 disclosures. Acceptance of any documentation is decided by the auditor or tenant concerned.

Campus-style data centers in Cyberjaya typically deploy 500 kWp–1 MWp systems on available rooftop and carpark canopy space. Johor hyperscale facilities with larger land areas can host larger systems, but systems above 1,000 kWac need a different programme (such as CRESS or LSS) and are outside Solar ATAP. Trexon conducts a satellite survey and electrical load analysis to recommend the optimal size and configuration.
