What Solarvest does

Solarvest Holdings Berhad (KLSE: SLVEST), founded in 2015 and headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, is Malaysia's largest solar company, operating as an Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) contractor and technology partner for utility-scale solar photovoltaic projects. The company's core offerings include utility-scale solar PV deployment (projects ranging from 29.99 MW to 690 MWp), Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) integration with claimed 20-65% energy cost savings and 3-6 year payback, and end-to-end project development through its subsidiary Atlantic Blue Sdn. Bhd. The company has expanded into solar thermal and energy-saving services via a 22% stake in Solar District Cooling Group Bhd, acquired for RM41.96 million.

Solarvest generates revenue primarily through EPCC contracts and technology partnership fees on large-scale solar projects, with contracts historically ranging from RM142 million to RM1.06 billion and project execution timelines of 18-24 months. The company secures work through Malaysia's competitive Large-Scale Solar (LSS) tender program, direct negotiation with government-linked entities such as Malakoff Corporation Berhad, and co-development partnerships with landowners and developers. Long-term revenue visibility is anchored by 21-year Power Purchase Agreements with Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) and corporate Virtual PPAs with multinational customers including Micron Malaysia (30 MW) and Google (1.5 TWh annually via Citra Energies).

In FY2026, Solarvest reported record revenue of RM757.1 million (41% YoY increase) and net profit of RM79.8 million (53.7% YoY increase), with 330% revenue growth over five years. The company carries an RM2.7 billion order book driven by major awards including the RM1.06 billion LSS5+ 690 MWp project in Perak and the RM1.05 billion TNB Green Sukuk-funded 500MWac project in Kedah. The company is targeting capacity expansion from 1.2 GW to 3.2 GW by 2027, with stated geographic expansion into Vietnam and the Philippines and a focus on serving AI data center power demand projected at 7.7 GW in Malaysia by the end of the decade.
