Suntech’s Rooftop Solar Project in Shah Alam, Malaysia Successfully Connected to the Grid, Supporting Commercial Decarbonization
Located in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, the project is built on a commercial complex owned by the property management company of Top Glove Corporation, the world’s largest medical glove manufacturer. The complex integrates premium hospitality, office facilities, and diverse commercial services, serving as a comprehensive urban business hub.
Jointly developed by Suntech and its exclusive Malaysian distributor NexGen AI Capitals Sdn. Bhd., the project makes full use of existing rooftop resources without requiring additional land. Through optimized PV system design, it integrates renewable energy generation with urban infrastructure, unlocking greater clean energy potential for commercial buildings.
The project is expected to generate approximately 608,000 kWh of clean electricity annually, with average monthly generation reaching around 50,700 kWh. The generated green electricity will primarily support the complex’s hotel operations, office facilities, and commercial services, reducing reliance on grid electricity and improving overall energy efficiency.
Based on Malaysia’s grid emission factor of 0.715 tCO₂/MWh, the project is expected to reduce approximately 434.7 tonnes of carbon emissions annually, helping the property owner advance ESG-related decarbonization goals while creating long-term economic and environmental value.
Designed to perform reliably under Southeast Asia’s hot, humid, and high-irradiance conditions, Suntech’s high-efficiency PV modules have obtained multiple internationally recognized certifications, including IEC 61215, IEC 61730, CE, TÜV, and ISO certifications. Featuring high reliability, low degradation, and strong energy yield performance, the modules ensure stable and efficient operation throughout the project lifecycle.
As Malaysia accelerates renewable energy adoption and low-carbon development, Suntech continues to expand its presence in Southeast Asia by delivering advanced PV technologies and tailored solar solutions for commercial and industrial
applications. Leveraging its integrated PV value chain, global project experience, and localized service capabilities, Suntech is committed to supporting businesses in their transition toward a cleaner energy future.
Moving forward, Suntech will continue advancing high-performance PV solutions, expanding the application boundaries of distributed solar energy, and contributing to sustainable energy development across Southeast Asia and beyond.
