How Your Business Can Save On Electricity Bills?

1. Solar ATAP

Solar ATAP Solar ATAP enables businesses to offset electricity costs by generating their own solar power, with unlimited quota and lifetime eligibility. Excess energy exported to the grid is credited at the System Marginal Price (SMP), reflecting real-time electricity values. Designed for long-term sustainability, ATAP allows companies to install solar systems up to 100% of their maximum demand, making it a powerful tool for reducing operational expenses and supporting corporate sustainability goals.

Exporting Excess Energy Under Solar ATAP

Excess energy generated can be exported under two categories:

Category A + Diagram

Surplus energy is exported to the Distribution Licensee via the Supply System.
The exported energy value is credited to the Consumer’s account to offset the next billing period.
The unit price (RM/kWh) is based on the Average System Marginal Price (SMP).

Category B + Diagram

Surplus energy can be exported to up to 3 subsidiaries via the Supply System.
The exported energy value is credited to the subsidiary’s account to offset their next billing period.
The unit price (RM/kWh) is based on the Average System Marginal Price (SMP).

2. Self-Consumption (SELCO)

A Self-Consumption (SELCO) solar PV system ensures that all solar energy generated, is fully utilized on-site, without exporting excess power to the grid. Surplus energy can be stored in batteries for use during night time or low sunlight conditions.

Benefits of SELCO

No Capacity Limits :

Commercial and industrial users can maximize solar energy usage without the 85% capacity cap.

Flexible Installations :

Solar panels can be installed on rooftops, ground-mounted, or floating on water within the premises.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) :

Store excess energy for later use, ensuring a stable power supply and backup during outages.

Energy Independence :

Protect your business from rising TNB tariffs and increasing electricity costs.

Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA)

Investing in Solartech’s solar PV system allows businesses to benefit from the Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA), a Malaysian government incentive designed to support green technology adoption.

60% Tax Allowance: Businesses can claim 60% of their qualifying capital expenditure (QCE) incurred on green assets, such as solar panels.
70% Tax Offset: This allowance can be used to offset up to 70% of taxable income, reducing overall tax liability and maximizing savings.

How GITA Lowers Your Tax Bill?

For example, if Company ABC invests RM400,000 in a solar PV system and has RM1,000,000 in taxable income, the tax savings are:

Without GITA: RM1,000,000 x 24% = RM240,000 (tax payable)

With GITA: RM600,000 (taxable income after deduction) x 24% = RM144,000 (tax payable)

Total Savings: RM240,000 – RM144,000 = RM96,000

2. Capital Allowance (CA)

Solartech helps businesses maximize their tax savings through Capital Allowance (CA), a tax incentive designed for Sdn Bhd & Bhd companies investing in solar PV systems. By purchasing our solar system outright, you can immediately deduct a significant portion of your investment from taxable income in the first year, while lowering energy costs and ensuring long-term sustainability.

How To Save On Taxes?

Initial Allowance (IA): Deduct 20% of the system cost in the first year.

Annual Allowance (AA): Deduct 14% annually for six years until the full 100% cost is claimed.

Eligible Assets: Solar PV systems qualify as “Plant & Machinery”, making them eligible for CA.

Maximizing Tax Savings

In a nutshell, you can receive a double tax deduction on the money spent on solar installation. The tax savings are as follows:

Therefore, considering both GITA and CA incentives, Company X’s final total savings in the first tax year of their solar installation would be:

RM96,000 (24% GITA) + RM32,640 (Initial Allowance + Annual Allowance) = RM128,640

In other words, Company X has already saved 32% of the total cost of their solar installation cost in the first tax year, with the remaining 16% to be saved over the next 5 tax years.

FAQ's

What is a Solar PV System?

A Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system is a renewable energy technology that converts sunlight directly into electricity using solar panels composed of semiconductor materials.

Which installation types are eligible for a Solar ATAP application?

Under Solar ATAP, all business and industrial consumers with Tenaga Nasional Berhad
(TNB) accounts are eligible to apply. This includes:

Commercial buildings – offices, retail outlets, shopping malls, hotels, resorts, and
service-based businesses.
Industrial facilities – factories, warehouses, and manufacturing plants.
Institutions – schools, universities, and hospitals.
Subsidiaries and group companies – businesses

What is a designated premise?

A Designated Premise refers to a premise used or operated by the Consumer’s wholly owned subsidiary.

Will the excess energy generated each month be available for cash-out?

The Solar ATAP program does not offer cash-out arrangements for excess energy that is generated but not consumed at the installation site. Unused energy typically results from operational limitations or seasonal fluctuations in load demand. However, businesses can transfer excess energy through the Supply System based on the specified category guidelines.
