Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Malaysia’s push toward renewable infrastructure has gained another industry supporter as Syarikat Logam Unitrade Sdn Bhd, a veteran in the country’s construction supply chain, officially expands into the solar energy sector. The move is marked by the introduction of a new dedicated solar website, solar.unitrade.com.my, which highlights a range of photovoltaic systems, inverters, and energy storage products designed for both residential and commercial projects.
Strengthening the Link Between Construction and Renewable Energy
Unitrade’s presence in Malaysia’s building ecosystem spans more than four decades, supplying core materials such as pipes, valves, fittings, steel, and building components to contractors and developers nationwide. The company has supported critical infrastructure projects — including transportation corridors, waterworks, hospitals, and commercial complexes — contributing to Malaysia’s urban and industrial growth since 1979.
Its transition into solar represents a significant step in bridging traditional construction supply with modern renewable energy infrastructure. By introducing solar technologies to its product portfolio, Unitrade positions itself as part of the national movement toward sustainable, low-carbon development.
A Complete Range of Solar Solutions
The solar website showcases products that cater to the technical and operational requirements of Malaysia’s evolving clean energy landscape. Among the systems featured are:
- Photovoltaic (PV) Panels: High-efficiency solar modules for rooftop and ground-mounted installations.
- Inverter Systems: Smart hybrid and string inverters suitable for NEM 3.0 participation and grid integration.
- Battery Storage Units: LFP-based modular batteries for enhanced reliability and peak-load management.
- Mounting Structures: BIPV-ready and aluminium-based systems built for structural strength and corrosion resistance.
- EV Chargers: Solar-compatible chargers for both home and commercial deployment.
Each product category is designed to serve contractors, engineers, and developers working within Malaysia’s renewable construction ecosystem, ensuring that sustainability can be implemented without compromising engineering standards.
Supporting National Clean Energy Objectives
Malaysia’s energy roadmap, anchored by initiatives such as the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) and Net Energy Metering 3.0 (NEM 3.0), emphasises wider adoption of distributed solar power. Unitrade’s new solar division aligns directly with these initiatives by offering components that simplify implementation at the building and infrastructure level.
The company’s involvement also addresses a growing market need for local sourcing of certified solar materials, reducing reliance on imports and shortening project lead times. Its established logistics and warehousing network provides additional reliability for bulk orders and large-scale energy projects.
Decades of Operational Credibility
What distinguishes Unitrade from many new entrants in the renewable sector is its proven operational foundation. The company has maintained a consistent presence in Malaysia’s engineering supply chain since 1984, serving thousands of contractors and M&E consultants across multiple industries. This foundation allows Unitrade to integrate clean energy solutions into a supply framework already trusted by the country’s construction ecosystem.
The company’s ability to manage complex procurement, quality assurance, and nationwide distribution ensures that its solar product line benefits from the same standards of reliability and service consistency that have defined its brand for over 40 years.
Powering the Next Phase of Malaysian Infrastructure
As Malaysia transitions toward a greener economy, Unitrade’s role now extends beyond supplying the physical components of infrastructure to supporting the energy systems that power it. The addition of solar technology to its portfolio reflects a long-term commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the evolving demands of the built environment.
Professionals across the construction, property, and energy sectors can access detailed product information and specifications through the official solar website at https://solar.unitrade.com.my.
With this expansion, Unitrade strengthens its position as a critical enabler in Malaysia’s journey toward cleaner, more resilient infrastructure — one that combines the durability of engineering materials with the sustainability of renewable energy systems.
