Large Scale Solar Farm

Engineering, Procurement, Commissioning, and Construction

Large Scale Solar – also known as solar farms – is the large-scale application of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in a contained area so electricity (ranging from hundreds of kilowatts to thousands of megawatts) can be generated for use.

Through a large collection of PV solar panels, the solar farm absorbs energy from the sun, converts it into electricity and sends that electricity to the power grid for distribution and consumption by customers across the nation.

By the end of 2023, Malaysia registered an installed solar capacity of 1,933MW and is forecasted to reach 4GW by 2030. This is largely represented by solar farms, a globally growing amenity serving as an alternative source of electricity generation and renewable energy. The possibilities of expanding such large-scale solar farms are vast and far-reaching, with many studies exploring its feasibility to host a large portion of residential and commercial consumption.

Within Malaysia, the government has recognised the potential of large-scale solar farm (LSS) projects in supporting the national electricity grid, on top of its contribution as an environment-friendly energy source. Currently, the Malaysian government has announced the fifth Large Scale Solar (LSS5) tender, with a quota of up to 2GW.

Large scale solar farms are utilised mostly in two ways based on their consumers: a utility-scale solar farm could harness solar energy that is subsequently sold to wholesale power providers or is directly owned by a utility company.

Solar farm panels are typically different. They are bifacial, meaning that the solar farm panels can absorb sunlight from the top and bottom surface of the solar panel. This maximises the total energy generation of the solar farm and the return on investment. New solar farm panels have even higher capacity and increased efficiency for the same reason of increasing sunlight absorption and solar farm returns.

The Malaysian government is providing various financial incentives to encourage the building and installation of large scale solar-powered farms. The Large Scale Solar (LSS) scheme is a prime example, regulated by the Energy Commission and offering large scale solar farm owners the opportunity to sell generated electricity back to the national TNB grid for 21 years.

Other schemes and programmes include the Net Energy Metering (NEM) scheme, Self-Consumption (SELCO), the Supply Agreement of Renewable Energy (SARE), and the Green Income Tax Exemption (GITE). These schemes aim to benefit the economy, creating a spillover effect on multiple sectors by encouraging more sustainable and environmentally friendly business practices.
