Turn Daytime Tariffs Into Daytime Savings
Use self-consumption solar (SELCO) to power your operations during the day with your own rooftop system, reducing SESB bills while your site runs as usual.
What Is a Self-Consumption (SELCO) System
And How It Works
A SELCO system generates electricity from solar panels and uses it directly in your building during your normal operating hours. Instead of exporting to the grid, your facility simply buys less electricity from SESB while the sun is shining.
Solar Generates During Your Operating Hours
Panels on your roof or carpark produce power while your business is running.
Your Loads Use Solar First
Key loads like chillers, cold rooms, compressors, HVAC and lighting consume solar power first.
Grid Automatically Tops Up
Any remaining demand is supplied by SESB as usual — no manual switching or changes to your SOPs.
Your Monthly Bill Goes Down
Because your meter draws less from SESB during the day, your overall electricity cost is reduced.
Your operations continue as usual — SELCO just reduces how much you pay SESB each month.
Why Businesses Are Moving to SELCO
Lower Daytime Operating Costs
Use solar first for your major daytime loads so you buy less electricity from SESB during business hours.
Turn Daytime Tariffs Into Daytime Savings
With the right system size and financing, your monthly solar savings can exceed your instalment, creating positive cash flow from month one.
Simple, Self-Consumption Setup
Self-consumption only, with no export — a straightforward arrangement designed for Sabah's zero-export environment.
Stronger ESG, Same Operations
Reduce carbon emissions and strengthen your ESG profile without changing how your team runs the site.

These examples are based on real Sabah installations and current SESB tariffs — your actual design will be customised to your bills, load profile and roof space.
| System Size | Est. Monthly Savings | Finance Instalment | Positive Cash Flow | Target Monthly Bill |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 kWp | RM 4,200 | RM 3,200 | RM 1,000 | > RM 10,000 |
| 200 kWp | RM 8,400 | RM 6,300 | RM 2,100 | > RM 20,000 |
| 500 kWp | RM 21,000 | RM 15,000 | RM 6,000 | > RM 50,000 |
| 1 MWp | RM 42,000 | RM 30,000 | RM 12,000 | > RM 100,000 |
With financing, many clients see positive cash flow from Day 1 — their SELCO system turns part of their daytime tariff into net monthly savings instead of pure cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will SELCO disrupt my operations?
No. SELCO works alongside your existing SESB supply. Solar feeds your loads first and the grid automatically tops up — no changes to your SOPs or manual switching needed.
Do I need special approvals for this?
We design SELCO as a self-consumption, zero-export setup. Our team handles the necessary technical submissions so the system is installed in line with Sabah requirements.
Can I get financing, and will it still save money?
Yes. With appropriate financing, many clients see monthly SELCO savings that exceed their loan instalments, effectively turning part of their daytime tariff into positive cash flow from Day 1.
What if my load profile changes later?
We design based on your current and expected loads and can advise on expansion options. Monitoring helps us track performance so we can fine-tune as your operations evolve.
