Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from semiconductor plant operations and finance teams.

Can a fab plant with 24/7 cleanroom operations benefit from solar?
Yes. While solar generates during daylight hours (approximately 7am–6pm), a 300–500 kWp system still offsets 30–45% of a 24/7 facility's total consumption. Pair with an LFP BESS to extend coverage into evening peak hours, and the effective bill reduction exceeds 40%.
How does GITA work for semiconductor companies?
Under the Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA), your company claims a 60% allowance on qualifying capital expenditure against statutory income. For a RM800K system, that's RM480K deducted from taxable income — saving approximately RM115,200 in corporate tax (at 24% rate). This must be commissioned by December 31, 2026.
Will MNC principals accept our solar generation as Scope 2 evidence?
Yes. Trexon provides third-party verified Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and a GHG Scope 2 data feed compatible with CDP, GRI, and TCFD reporting. Intel, Apple, and Bosch supply chain auditors accept this documentation.
What is the typical system size for a semiconductor plant?
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) often deploy 750 kWp–1 MWp. Trexon conducts a satellite roof survey and TNB bill analysis to recommend the precise system size.
Does solar affect our facility's TNB Maximum Demand charges?
A 500 kWp system offsets 300–400 kW of measured demand, reducing MD charges by RM26,781–RM35,708 per month at the current RM97.06/kW tariff. For high-demand cleanroom facilities, this alone can justify the investment within 2–3 years.
