For Business Owners

Solar Power Solutions

Solartech’s solar power solutions provide businesses with a hassle-free way to cut electricity costs and seamless integration, to ensure long-term energy savings and efficiency.

Commercial & Industrial Solar

By tapping into solar energy, commercial and industrial facilities can cut electricity costs while promoting sustainability.

With Malaysia’s abundant sunlight and supportive policies like Net Energy Metering (NEM), Self-Consumption (SELCO) and Green Income Tax Allowance (GITA), solar is now a smart and cost-effective investment.

How Your Business Can Save On Electricity Bills?

1. NEM NOVA 3.0

The NEM NOVA (Net Offset Virtual Aggregation) program helps businesses maximize solar energy by prioritizing self-consumption while allowing excess energy to be exported to the grid at Average System Marginal Price (SMP) or shared with wholly-owned subsidiaries. Designed for the commercial and industrial sectors, NOVA promotes renewable energy adoption and helps manage business expenses through solar PV installation.

Exporting Excess Energy Under NEM NOVA

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 NOVA 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.

The eligible or recommended installation type for NEM NOVA is a roof-mounted installation on the buildings situated within the designated premises.

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

NEM application requirements:

Information:

  • Applicant’s Profile
  • Project Information
  • Technical Information
  • Proposed Work Plan

Documents:

  • Engineering Design, signed and endorsed by a relevant professional
  • Most recent electricity bill (last 3 months), or a TNB invoice
  • For above 72kW capacities, a CAS (Connection Assessment Study) approval and report
  • Document proof of site ownership

The NEM NOVA 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.
