According to the company, the solar farm will use N-Type photovoltaic modules and inverter technologies designed for Malaysia’s tropical climate conditions. The project is scheduled to begin commercial operations on February 26, 2028.

Solarvest estimates the facility will generate approximately 68,550 MWh of clean energy annually and offset around 53,058 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year. The company plans to operate the plant using what it describes as an AI-powered monitoring system for performance tracking and maintenance.

“As Southeast Asia accelerates its transition towards clean energy, the role of technology-driven renewable infrastructure will become increasingly critical in shaping a more sustainable energy future,” said Davis Chong Chun Shiong, Executive Director and Group Chief Executive Officer of Solarvest. “At Solarvest, we are committed to advancing innovative clean energy solutions that combine high-efficiency solar technologies, digital intelligence and integrated energy systems.”

The company stated the project contributes to an orderbook now valued at USD 0.4 billion. Solarvest, which is listed on Bursa Malaysia’s Main Market, operates across eight countries in the Asia-Pacific region and reports a renewable energy portfolio exceeding 3,200MW in ongoing and completed projects.

The solar facility is expected to operate for 20 to 25 years. Solarvest indicated it plans to explore integration of battery energy storage and other energy management systems in future projects.
