The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) imposes carbon tariffs on Malaysian exports from 2026. Solar with SEDA-certified generation data reduces or eliminates your Scope 2 liability at the EU border.
TNB's C2 commercial tariff reached 45.62 sen/kWh in January 2025. Each tariff hike compounds your operating cost. Solar locks your electricity rate at near-zero for 25 years — the only permanent hedge against future increases.
Malaysia's Green Investment Tax Allowance lets you deduct 60% of the full solar capital cost from statutory income. For a RM 800K system, that's RM 480K off your tax bill — disappears entirely if you miss the December 2026 deadline.
