Despite Malaysia's 90%+ national electrification rate, significant pockets of rural Malaysia — particularly in Sabah, Sarawak, and Orang Asli communities in Peninsular Malaysia — remain dependent on expensive diesel generators or have no electricity at all. Solar is now the fastest and most cost-effective solution.
Malaysians in remote Sabah, Sarawak, and Orang Asli communities who lack stable grid electricity access.
Average monthly diesel generator cost for a community of 20 households — a crippling expense for subsistence communities.
Community solar microgrids reduce energy costs by 60–80% compared to diesel while providing more hours of reliable power.
Three tiers of solar solution designed for different scales of rural community need — from single households to entire villages.
Self-contained solar and battery systems for individual rural households. Provides lighting, phone charging, fans, and small appliances. No TNB grid connection required.

Trexon works with diverse rural communities across Malaysia, adapting our approach to local needs, culture, and governance structures.
Peninsular Malaysia
Over 180,000 Orang Asli people in 18 ethnic groups across Peninsular Malaysia. Many Temiar, Semai, and Batek villages in Kelantan, Pahang, and Perak remain unelectrified. Trexon designs culturally sensitive, community-owned solar systems.
Sabah & Sarawak
Remote longhouses and village clusters in Sarawak's interior and Sabah's highlands. Limited grid reach means many communities rely on expensive diesel. Community microgrids deliver 60–80% cost savings over diesel generation.
Nationwide
Government rural schools (SK) and rural health clinics (Klinik Desa) with unreliable or no grid electricity. Solar guarantees educational continuity, refrigeration for vaccines, and reliable medical equipment power.
All States
We partner with NGOs, corporate CSR teams, foundations, and government agencies to design and install solar for underserved communities. Turnkey project management from survey to commissioning.

Rural solar projects can be funded through a range of grants, government programmes, and CSR partnerships. Trexon assists with applications and documentation.
Yayasan Hasanah's Micro Grant programme (currently open, 2026) supports community development projects including rural electrification. Grants up to RM50,000 per village project.
Learn moreSEDA Malaysia administers several rural electrification initiatives including the Rural Solar Pilot under the 12th Malaysia Plan. Trexon is SEDA-registered and can assist with programme applications.
Learn moreCorporations fulfilling ESG or CSR obligations can fund village solar projects through Trexon's Cahaya Kampung programme. Includes full impact reporting, site visits, and media documentation for CSR reporting.
Learn moreFor cooperatives, village committees, and rural SMEs with formal legal status, Trexon can arrange green financing through commercial banks (Maybank, CIMB, RHB, Public Bank, BSN) and development finance institutions.
Learn moreCahaya Kampung (Village Light) is Trexon's dedicated programme for bringing solar electricity to Malaysia's underserved rural communities. We partner with corporations, foundations, and government agencies to fund, design, install, and maintain community solar systems.

Rural solar home systems start from RM8,000 for a 1–3 kW individual household system. Community microgrids for 10–50 households typically cost RM80,000–RM400,000 depending on capacity and battery storage. CSR funding, Yayasan Hasanah grants, and SEDA programmes can cover part or all of the cost.
Yes. Off-grid solar systems with battery storage operate completely independently from TNB's grid. They are specifically designed for remote locations in Sabah, Sarawak, and Peninsular Malaysia where grid connection is not available or economically viable.
Several funding sources exist: Yayasan Hasanah Micro Grants (currently open), SEDA rural electrification programmes under the 12th Malaysia Plan, corporate CSR partnerships, and development bank financing. Trexon assists community groups with funding applications.
A complete village microgrid (10–50 kW) takes 4–8 weeks from initial survey to energisation. This includes site assessment, system design, equipment procurement, installation, and commissioning. Remote locations in Sabah and Sarawak may require additional logistics time.
Yes. Trexon's Cahaya Kampung CSR programme is designed for NGOs, corporate CSR teams, and foundations. We handle everything from community engagement and technical design to installation and ongoing maintenance reporting for ESG documentation.
Community microgrids are designed with sufficient battery capacity for 8–16 hours of typical usage after sunset. For critical applications, a diesel generator backup is integrated as a last-resort source. Smart energy management systems prioritise battery usage and only activate the generator when needed, dramatically reducing diesel consumption.
