Solarvest and Huawei Malaysia Join Forces to Advance Solar and Storage Technology

In a move that strengthens Malaysia’s position in the global clean energy race, Solarvest Holdings Berhad has partnered with Huawei Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd to push the boundaries of renewable energy solutions. Together, they aim to introduce advanced Solar + Energy Storage technologies that will help transform Malaysia’s energy sector, reduce carbon emissions, and increase energy independence.

The strategic alliance between Solarvest and Huawei Malaysia focuses on deploying smart photovoltaic (PV) systems combined with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), paving the way for a more resilient and energy-efficient future. Solarvest, as the leader in clean energy development, will oversee the engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) of renewable energy projects across the country. Huawei Malaysia, renowned for its expertise in digital power technologies, will provide state-of-the-art solar inverters and energy storage solutions.

By integrating solar power with energy storage, the partnership aims to address the intermittent nature of renewable energy. Solar power generation often peaks during daylight hours, while demand for electricity remains high in the evening. The BESS technology will store surplus energy during the day, ensuring a continuous and reliable power supply even after sunset.

“With this partnership, we are poised to not only revolutionize Malaysia’s energy infrastructure but also lead the way in the integration of renewable energy solutions,” said Mr. Davis Chong Chun Shiong, Executive Director and Group CEO of Solarvest. “By leveraging Huawei’s cutting-edge energy storage systems and smart inverters, we will enhance the performance, reliability, and sustainability of solar energy projects nationwide.”

The collaboration will initially focus on integrating Smart PV technology and BESS into Solarvest’s large-scale solar projects, including the Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP) and Large-Scale Solar (LSS) farms. By combining these systems, the two companies aim to deliver significant improvements in energy efficiency and storage capacity.

Solar + Storage systems are seen as the future of sustainable energy because they can provide a reliable power source during periods of high demand, or when sunlight is scarce due to weather conditions. This integration will make Malaysia’s energy grid more stable and resilient, reducing the need for fossil-fuel-based backup power plants.

Furthermore, the partnership is expected to make solar power more accessible for a wide range of businesses, industries, and communities. With the growing demand for energy in Malaysia’s urban and industrial sectors, scalable solar power solutions paired with energy storage are emerging as the ideal way to meet both commercial and residential energy needs sustainably.

In addition to its focus on technology and innovation, the Solarvest-Huawei partnership is committed to building a skilled workforce to support the growing green economy. As part of this initiative, Huawei Malaysia will contribute to training programs aimed at upskilling local talent in renewable energy technologies, including solar PV systems, energy storage solutions, and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.

By investing in workforce development, both companies hope to foster a new generation of experts capable of supporting the nation’s clean energy goals. Huawei Malaysia’s involvement includes offering specialized training courses, certification programs, and internships to ensure that Malaysia has a pipeline of skilled professionals ready to meet the demands of a green economy.

“Huawei is committed to driving the transformation of Malaysia’s energy sector, not just through technology but also through education and skills development,” said Mr. Simon Sun, CEO of Huawei Malaysia. “Together with Solarvest, we are dedicated to creating a robust talent ecosystem that will help shape Malaysia’s energy future.”

The introduction of solar energy combined with energy storage will significantly contribute to Malaysia’s climate action goals. The integration of these technologies is expected to reduce the country’s carbon footprint by minimizing its dependence on coal and natural gas. Moreover, as the demand for cleaner energy grows, Solarvest and Huawei Malaysia will play key roles in accelerating the country’s transition to carbon-neutral energy systems.

Huawei’s advanced Smart PV technology is already having a significant impact in Malaysia, with installations expected to produce over 3.9 billion kWh of clean electricity annually, which would help eliminate 1.81 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year. The current collaboration is expected to further these environmental benefits, while also strengthening Malaysia’s energy independence by diversifying its energy mix.

“Our joint efforts will help Malaysia achieve its climate commitments, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future,” said Mr. Chong Chern Peng, Vice President of Huawei Malaysia’s Digital Power Business. “Through innovative technologies like Solar + Storage, we are enhancing energy security while supporting the nation’s long-term environmental goals.”

The partnership between Solarvest and Huawei Malaysia underscores the importance of innovation, collaboration, and a shared vision of a low-carbon economy. By combining expertise in renewable energy technologies with a commitment to education and sustainability, the two companies are setting new benchmarks for the energy sector.

“Through our collaboration with Huawei, we are laying the groundwork for a sustainable future in Malaysia,” concluded Mr. Chong Chun Shiong. “Our efforts are aligned with the country’s broader goals of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, and we are excited to play a role in driving this transformation.”
