Yes. Solar generates during daylight hours (approximately 7am–6pm), so a 300–500 kWp system offsets part of a 24/7 facility's consumption. Pair with an LFP BESS to extend coverage into the evening; the share offset depends on your load profile.

Under the Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA), your company claims a 60% allowance on qualifying capital expenditure against statutory income. For a RM1.2M (500 kWp) system, that's RM720K deducted from taxable income — saving up to RM172,800 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.

Trexon can prepare a GHG Scope 2 data report from your system output, compatible with CDP, GRI and TCFD reporting. Acceptance is decided by your MNC principal's auditors.

Most Penang and Kulim plants in the 100,000–300,000 sq ft range install 200–500 kWp systems. Larger wafer fabs (Kulim Hi-Tech Park) may fit 750 kWp–1 MWp. Trexon conducts a satellite roof survey and TNB bill analysis to recommend the precise system size.

Solar alone does not reliably cut Maximum Demand (one cloudy 30-minute window can set the month's maximum demand), so we do not count MD savings. A BESS controller can help, sized from your own half-hourly demand data.
