A Strategic Collaboration for a Lower-Carbon Future

The global energy transition is no longer a future ambition — it is happening now.

At Progressture Solar, we are proud to have partnered with Petron Malaysia in delivering a commercial solar photovoltaic (PV) system designed to support operational efficiency, energy cost optimisation, and carbon reduction.


Working with a leading downstream oil company such as Petron demonstrates one thing clearly: even traditional energy players are actively embracing renewable solutions.



Why Energy Companies Are Turning to Solar

Energy companies today face three major pressures:

  • Rising electricity costs

  • Carbon reduction commitments

  • ESG compliance expectations from investors and stakeholders

Solar PV offers an immediate and practical solution.

For companies with high daytime energy consumption — especially industrial facilities and fuel terminals — rooftop solar allows them to:


✔ Reduce grid dependency

✔ Lower operational expenditure (OPEX)

✔ Improve ESG reporting

✔ Strengthen long-term energy resilience

The Petron project reflects this broader industry shift.



Project Overview

Progressture Solar was appointed to deliver a complete Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) scope.

Our responsibilities included:

  • Site feasibility study and technical assessment

  • System design and optimisation

  • Supply of high-performance solar modules and inverters

  • Structural and electrical integration

  • Installation and testing

  • Commissioning and grid compliance

Every industrial site has unique operational constraints. Safety, structural loading, and uninterrupted operations were critical considerations throughout execution.

Our team worked closely with Petron’s engineering and operations team to ensure:

• Minimal disruption to daily operations

• Compliance with stringent safety standards • Optimised system performance• Long-term reliability

Delivering Industrial-Grade Solar Systems

Unlike residential systems, commercial and industrial solar projects require:

  • Detailed rooftop structural analysis (RSA)

  • Electrical load profiling

  • Maximum demand analysis

  • Protection system coordination

  • Compliance with utility interconnection standards

At Progressture Solar, our strength lies in combining engineering precision with financial optimisation.

We do not just install panels.

We design systems that maximise:

  • Internal Rate of Return (IRR)

  • Payback period optimisation

  • Lifetime energy yield

  • Asset durability

For corporations, solar is not just about sustainability — it is a capital allocation decision.

And it must make financial sense.


Supporting Malaysia’s Decarbonisation Agenda

Malaysia has committed to increasing renewable energy penetration in the national generation mix.

Corporate participation is essential to achieving this target.

By adopting on-site solar, companies like Petron contribute directly to:

  • Reduced Scope 2 emissions

  • Lower carbon intensity

  • National renewable energy targets

  • Improved sustainability disclosures

This project represents more than a rooftop installation.

It represents alignment between industrial growth and environmental responsibility.

Why Leading Corporates Choose Progressture Solar

Our experience spans:

  • Commercial & Industrial (C&I) rooftop systems

  • Large-scale solar (LSS) developments

  • Utility-scale EPCC projects

  • Cross-border renewable energy execution

What differentiates us:

✔ End-to-end EPCC capability ✔ Strong engineering background ✔ Financial modelling expertise ✔ Safety-first execution culture ✔ Long-term O&M support

We approach every project as a long-term energy infrastructure asset — not just an installation.

Looking Ahead

The collaboration with Petron reflects a growing trend:

Energy companies are not being replaced by renewables — they are integrating them.

As Malaysia moves toward a lower-carbon economy, Progressture Solar remains committed to delivering:

  • Bankable solar solutions

  • Industrial-grade engineering

  • Sustainable energy partnerships

If your organisation is exploring solar as part of its decarbonisation strategy, our team is ready to support you from feasibility study to long-term operations.
