Verdant Solar, Malaysia’s local solar energy company, is thrilled to announce that the Malaysian Book of Records has awarded it as the largest residential solar provider in the country in a year. Doubling its previous record set in 2022, Verdant Solar now serves over 1300 homes across Malaysia with its residential solar energy systems.
Following this acknowledgement, Verdant Solar has emerged as the preferred solar provider for over 2300 landed properties and homeowners in Malaysia. In 2022, the company also earned the prestigious Malaysian Book of Records award for the nation’s leading solar provider for home installations, with a total of 650 homes equipped.
With installations surpassing 9958.9kW, equivalent to RM12 million in electricity bill savings, and a total of 12,645 tonnes of CO2 avoided in the year 2023 alone, this positions Verdant Solar as the top choice for residential sustainable energy solutions in the country.
Zeth Lim, Chief Executive Officer of Verdant Solar, said “We’re honoured to once again be recognised by Malaysia’s Book of Records, underscoring our commitment to advancing Malaysia’s transition to 100% renewable energy. At Verdant Solar, we’re dedicated to practical initiatives in the solar energy sector, with a focus on expanding residential solar adoption and driving innovation. We aim to maintain this momentum, providing Malaysians with the sustainable options they need. Today, we’re excited to launch the Verdant Home App, a user-friendly monitoring tool enabling homeowners to efficiently manage their energy consumption. This marks another significant milestone in our journey.”
Tech-driven solutions to meet consumer needs
Verdant Solar has also continued to innovate with the launch of the Verdant Home app, which allows users to track their transition to solar energy, refer friends to join the sustainable living movement and provide feedback on Verdant’s services. The app is accessible for download from the App Store and Google Play Store.
The mobile app makes it easier for consumers to track their energy usage, where homeowners can delve into their system’s performance with granular detail, monitoring energy input and output by the hour, day, or month. They can even understand their system size, generated kWp, and download reports for easy record-keeping, contributing to their mission of making solar accessible and efficient for all Malaysians.

Malaysia’s solar industry radiates positive growth
Malaysia is increasing its usage of renewable energy in tandem with the acceleration of climate change. With efforts by the government to encourage solar installations, the residential solar industry has shown a positive trend and more homeowners are using solar systems. This shows that the country is on the right track in achieving the renewable energy installed capacity target of 70% by 2050.
Malaysian homeowners increasingly turn to solar panels, driven by rising electricity bills and a growing desire for renewable energy solutions. This surging demand reflects a nationwide shift, with the government aiming to add 1,098 MW by 2025 and another 2,414 MW by 2035. This ambitious target aligns with the Malaysia Renewable Energy Roadmap, which envisions renewables powering 31% of the nation’s energy needs by 2025, rising to 40% by 2035. Verdant Solar, committed to being the catalyst for this positive change, offers affordable and efficient solar solutions with flexible financing and reliable installations, making the transition to renewable energy accessible for all Malaysians.
Zeth also shared “There are still many challenges and misconceptions associated with integrating and adopting solar energy. One major challenge is the initial cost of installing solar panels, which can be prohibitive for some individuals or businesses. There is certainly a need for more education and awareness about the benefits of solar energy to overcome these misconceptions. Verdant Solar has shown readiness to address these issues and bolster the confidence of customers by implementing multifaceted approaches that can educate consumers about the benefits of solar energy and its potential to reduce electricity bills and carbon footprint. With the aim to cover an integrated approach, spanning the residential, corporate, and technological realms, the company seeks to solidify its position in the renewable energy sector and establish itself as a trusted provider of solar solutions.”
