Model your project savings and peak-demand reduction
Calculate ROISolar for Schools, Colleges & Universities
Daytime load + huge roof area = schools are a strong solar customer. We can design systems for international schools, private universities, and tuition chains. Cut your TNB bill with your own daytime solar AND turn the rooftop into a live science classroom.

Why schools choose Trexon
Four structural advantages that make schools the ideal solar customer — and us the right partner.
Strong daytime load match
Classes run 7am–4pm, which overlaps well with daytime solar generation (peak output is about 10am–3pm). No batteries required to capture most of the benefit. Schools usually achieve high self-consumption, depending on the load profile.
Live monitoring for STEM lessons
Every install includes an online monitoring dashboard showing real-time kWh generation and CO2 offset. A lobby display screen can be added as an option. Turn your rooftop into a live science exhibit.
Ownership routes
Buy outright (GITA-eligible for tax-paying schools), use a bank loan, or spread the cost with a hire-purchase plan through Mitsubishi HC Capital Malaysia. Every route starts with the booking (20% of the system price, capped at RM20,000).
PA / Board / Parent reporting templates
Reporting templates are available on request, formatted for school boards, parent-teacher associations, and university sustainability offices. Accreditation bodies and CSRD-aligned parents increasingly ask for this data.
Institution types we design for
Each institution type has a different load profile, procurement process, and stakeholder map. We engineer for all of them.
International Schools
IB / IGCSE / AP campuses
IB, IGCSE and AP international schools
International schools carry high electricity bills from A/C-heavy classrooms, swimming pools, and auditoriums. German and British parent schools increasingly require CSRD-aligned sustainability data — rooftop solar delivers both savings and ESG reporting.

Private Schools & Tahfiz
Malaysian private & religious schools
Private, international and Tahfiz schools
Private schools operate on tight fee structures. A lower TNB bill directly expands the budget available for teaching staff and facilities — a compelling case for any school board. Tahfiz campuses with boarding facilities benefit from battery storage for evening and Fajr operations.

Universities & Colleges
Large multi-block campuses
Private universities and colleges
University campuses span multiple buildings with diverse load profiles — lecture theatres, labs, hostels, sports complexes. We design multi-array systems with a campus-wide energy management dashboard and can phase the rollout block-by-block to match capital availability.
300–1,500 kWp
Typical size
~RM 9.4K–47.0K/month (MV General)

Tuition Centre Chains
Multi-site rollout
Regional tuition chains
Tuition chains with 5–20 locations benefit from a standardised multi-site hire-purchase approach — one contract, consistent pricing across all branches, centralised monitoring. We handle permitting at each site in parallel.
30–120 kWp per site

~RM 1.6K–6.4K/site/month (LV)

What's included in every school install
Hardware is the easy part. We include everything that makes a school install actually work.
Rooftop solar array
100–1,500 kWp depending on campus size. Jinko 620 W N-type panels, IEC-certified inverters, 30-year panel performance warranty. Scheduled around school holidays to minimise disruption to the academic calendar.
Live classroom monitoring screen
Online monitoring dashboard showing real-time generation, CO2 saved and kWh milestones, viewable on any screen. Generation data can be exported for students to use in assignments.
Battery storage (optional)
LiFePO4 battery bank for evening events, exam halls, and boarding school night loads. Sized independently from the solar array — add only what you need. Battery capex may qualify for GITA Tier 1 (100%) for tax-paying operators, subject to MGTC verification.
Generation data for lessons
Your school's actual generation data (kWh by day, month and year) can be exported from the monitoring platform for Physics, Geography and Environmental Studies lessons. Lesson materials are prepared by your teachers.
Three funding routes
Match the commercial structure to your institution's budget cycle and risk appetite.
Capex
Board sinking fund / endowment
Full ownership from day one. Payback is modelled from your own TNB bills and tariff (commercial pricing from RM2,400/kWp before SST), with a 25-year system life. Ideal for universities with endowment funds or international schools with capital reserves.
Bank Loan
Financed by your bank
Finance the purchase with a bank loan; ask your bank for current rates and tenures. The school owns the system from day one and, if it pays corporate tax, can claim GITA. Every route starts with the booking (20% of the system price, capped at RM20,000).
Hire Purchase
Fixed monthly payment, you own the system
Fixed monthly payments through Mitsubishi HC Capital Malaysia; rates and term are set by the lender, and the system is the school’s own. Expect the payment to exceed the monthly bill saving during the term — you are buying the asset over time. A hire-purchase asset is recognised on the balance sheet, so treat it as an asset purchase, not as off-balance-sheet opex.

The STEM angle
Each install includes a live monitoring dashboard. Students can use the generation data for science fairs, Physics coursework and project work.
How we deliver — planned around the academic calendar
School projects have unique scheduling constraints. Here's our four-step process designed around the academic calendar.
Campus Audit
We review 12 months of TNB bills, building plans, and roof condition reports. For multi-block campuses, we prioritise roof sections by area, shading, and structural readiness. No site visit required to produce a preliminary sizing.
Design + Funding Model
Full engineering design (shadow analysis, load flow, string sizing) plus a financial model comparing Capex, a bank loan and an Hire Purchase across a 25-year horizon. Presented in a format ready for the school board or finance committee.
School-Holiday Installation
All installation work is scheduled during term breaks — May, August, November, and December windows. Scheduled to minimise disruption to classes, exams, and co-curricular activities. TNB commissioning timing depends on approvals.
Operations & Maintenance (O&M)
Preventive maintenance, inverter firmware updates, soiling checks, and panel performance testing under the O&M plan you choose. Monitoring alerts go to your designated facilities manager.

Planning Solar for Your Campus
Start with your latest 12 months of TNB bills, a roof plan or site layout, and the single-line diagram of your main switchboard. These let us check daytime load, roof suitability and the options for paying for the system. Use the solar calculator for an early estimate and compare financing options, or see the commercial financing routes if you prefer not to pay the full price up front.
Related guides include solar for international schools, the Solar for STEM programme, campus solar and solar for kindergartens. After installation, solar O&M services help keep output steady across school terms and holidays.
