Solar for F&B
& Cold Storage
Cut Cooling Energy Costs

For Shah Alam and Port Klang food manufacturers and cold chain operators — refrigeration is one of your largest energy costs, and solar cuts the daytime energy charge. Match solar output to your peak cooling load. A 250 kWp system saves about RM94,000 a year on the energy charge, if all output is used on site.

Why Consider Trexon for F&B & Cold Chain

Engineered for the demanding 24/7 cooling loads of food and logistics infrastructure.

Chiller Load Synchronization

Solar output is naturally correlated with refrigeration demand. Our BESS controllers predict compressor start cycles and help smooth out MD spikes.

Food Safety Redundancy

On-site generation adds a layer of resilience for critical cold chain assets. A BESS sized for it can maintain cooling during localized grid faults, protecting inventory.

Green Retail Supply Chain

Many major FMCG retailers ask suppliers for sustainability data. Trexon can prepare Scope 2 data for your sustainability reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from F&B plant managers and cold storage operators.

Why is solar particularly effective for cold chain and refrigeration facilities?

Refrigeration load and solar generation are naturally synchronized. As ambient temperature rises during daylight hours, your chillers work harder — and your solar panels produce more power to meet that exact demand. This thermal correlation suits solar well; the actual saving depends on your daytime load.

What is peak shaving and how does it reduce my TNB bill?

Under the TNB Medium Voltage General tariff, your Maximum Demand charge is RM89.27/kW based on the highest 30-minute demand reading in the month. Industrial chillers and compressors create massive startup spikes. A solar + BESS system "cushions" these spikes in real-time, keeping you below your MD threshold and reducing the charge.

Does solar affect food safety or cold chain integrity?

No. Our systems are grid-tied and operate in parallel with TNB supply. On-site generation adds a layer of redundancy — in the event of a localized grid fault, a solar + BESS system sized for it can keep critical refrigeration loads running, protecting your inventory. Full battery backup systems are available for higher uptime requirements.

How does GITA work for F&B manufacturers and cold storage operators?

Under GITA, 60% of qualifying solar capex is deducted from statutory income. For a RM600K (250 kWp) system, that is RM360,000 deducted from taxable income — saving up to RM86,400 in corporate tax (at 24% rate), if fully absorbed. The system must be commissioned and the GITA application submitted to MGTC by 31 December 2026.

Can solar data support retailer green-supplier requirements?

Often. Many major retailers and FMCG principals ask their supply chain partners for sustainability data. Trexon can prepare GHG Scope 2 data reports from your system output, compatible with CDP, GRI and retail ESG frameworks; acceptance is decided by the retailer or auditor.
