What Verdant Solar does

Verdant Solar is a Malaysia-based solar energy company specializing in the design, installation, and maintenance of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for residential and commercial/industrial (C&I) customers across Peninsular Malaysia. Founded in 2015, the company has scaled to become the country's largest residential solar provider per the Malaysia Book of Records, with cumulative installations exceeding 8,000 homes as of 2025. It operates under the holding entity Verdant Solar Holdings Berhad, which completed an IPO on Bursa Malaysia in September 2025, with the operating subsidiary being Verdant Solar Sdn. Bhd. The CEO is Zeth Lim.

The company's technology stack comprises tier-1 solar PV hardware from JA Solar panels and Solis inverters, integrated with Fox ESS battery storage systems (with Sigenergy as a secondary BESS supplier). A proprietary mobile application, the Verdant Home App, provides real-time system performance monitoring. Verdant has also pioneered what it claims is Malaysia's first integrated solar and insurance product through a partnership with Tune Protect, embedding coverage for accidental damage and lost electricity savings into residential installations. The company actively participates in Malaysia's Solar ATAP programme, NEM (Net Energy Metering) quotas, and the SolaRIS rebate scheme.

The business model is primarily project-based, with revenue generated through one-time sales and installation of solar PV systems (RM17,000-RM50,000 per residential system), EPCC contracts for commercial clients (Q3 FY2026: RM8.56M segment revenue against an RM49.8M orderbook), BESS subscriptions and hardware sales, and maintenance/O&M services. Verdant operates a hybrid go-to-market motion: direct-to-consumer in-house sales for residential (with free on-site assessments) and consultative field sales for commercial clients. A customer referral programme (Refer2Earn) and Corporate Partnership Programme diversify acquisition. Geographic operations span Peninsular Malaysia, with offices in Petaling Jaya (HQ), Bukit Mertajam (Penang), and Johor Bahru (Johor); Sabah, Sarawak, and remote islands are explicitly excluded from the service area.
