Five Bursa-linked and established installers are currently booking commercial rooftop solar projects across Pahang’s industrial zones—Gebeng, Semambu, Bentong, and Temerloh—with net-metering quota handling, TNB grid connection, and lightning protection built into their standard PPAs.
Pahang receives an average of 1,500 to 1,800 kWh/m² of solar irradiance annually, and TNB’s East Coast grid headroom makes net-energy metering (NEM) attractive for factories that run heavy daytime loads. The five companies below are selected for documented rooftop work in the state, not just brochures.
1. Solarvest Energy
Solarvest is the largest commercial rooftop contractor operating into Pahang from its Kuala Lumpur engineering base. Bursa-listed with over 1,000 MWp in delivered projects, the company has completed rooftop arrays on a 5 MWp chemical plant in Gebeng and holds an active O&M contract for that site. They run a service truck stationed in Kuantan that performs quarterly IR thermal scanning and bolt-torque checks on every installed array. For Pahang proposals, their commercial team handles NEM 3.0 quota reservations across the East Coast region before any panel is ordered.
2. Ditrolic Solar
Ditrolic Solar avoids one-size-fits-all rooftop packages. The company specializes in mid-sized industrial roofs, with a documented 500 kWp installation on a plywood factory in Bentong. Their engineering team calculates racking pin depth and clamp spacing for Pahang’s high monsoon wind uplift, a failure point other installers overlook. Ditrolic holds CIDB Class B certification and offers a lease-financing model where the client pays only for actual kWh generated, which suits factories that want to preserve capital.
3. Samaiden Group
Samaiden is an ACE-Market-listed EPCC specialist with a commercial roof division covering Temerloh and Raub. Their core value is managing the full TNB application cycle—from permit submission to commissioning certificate—plus a 24-hour inverter replacement guarantee from their Kuantan depot. For older factories, Samaiden also prices in structural reinforcement and asbestos roof replacement, so the solar array is not threatened by the deck it sits on.
4. Pekat Group
Pekat differentiates by combining solar installation with lightning protection auditing, crucial for Pahang’s high thunderstorm frequency. The company delivers a single-point contract that covers panel mounting, grounding grid, and surge protection. In 2024, Pekat completed two separate rooftop solar installations for factories in Semambu, Kuantan, within 38 days each, including the air-termination rods and earth pit testing required by DOSH.
5. Sunview Group
Sunview Group, formerly Plus Solar, brings utility-scale EPC discipline to commercial roofs. For Pahang, they target heavy industrial parks like Gempak and Gebeng, using pre-assembled racking systems that reduce on-site welding time and simplify crane lifting. Their O&M contracts are performance-based: compensation is tied to measured kWh output at the meter, not to theoretical performance ratio calculations.
Installer Selection Table
