From Building Malaysia To Powering It Unitrade S Next Chapter In Solar Energy

---

In a significant move that aligns with Malaysia’s sustainable infrastructure agenda, Syarikat Logam Unitrade Sdn Bhd has officially expanded into the solar energy sector. With over 40 years of legacy in supplying pipes, valves, and fittings to Malaysia’s largest infrastructure projects, Unitrade is now entering a new phase — one focused on clean energy solutions for modern construction.
This announcement follows the launch of solar.unitrade.com.my, a dedicated portal offering a full spectrum of solar technologies for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. From photovoltaic panels to hybrid inverters and battery storage systems, the new platform positions Unitrade as a key supplier in Malaysia’s clean energy ecosystem.
Four Decades of Construction Backbone Since its founding in 1979, Unitrade has played an integral role in developing the physical backbone of Malaysia. Its supply footprint spans hundreds of projects across:
Public infrastructure: MRT and LRT lines, KLIA and KLIA2, major expressways like DUKE, DASH, and SUKE
Landmark buildings: Petronas Twin Towers (KLCC), Merdeka 118, Pavilion KL, and IOI City Mall
Utilities and specialised facilities: Water treatment plants, universities, hospitals, and factories This deep integration into Malaysia’s construction network gives Unitrade a unique advantage in understanding the needs of contractors, engineers, and developers — and now, applying that same insight to solar.
Entering the Renewable Space at the Right Time Malaysia’s push towards energy diversification and sustainability is gaining momentum. The government’s NEM 3.0 policy is encouraging the installation of rooftop solar systems, while energy-conscious developers are embedding clean energy requirements into project specs.
Unitrade’s solar initiative answers that demand with a comprehensive portfolio, including:
High-efficiency solar panels Grid-tied and hybrid inverters Modular LFP battery storage units Durable mounting structures for BIPV and C&I use EV chargers ready for residential and industrial deployment All offerings are tailored to meet Malaysian standards and project requirements — and are sourced from globally trusted brands backed by Unitrade’s commitment to quality assurance.
Bridging the Gap Between Hardware and Energy This move isn’t just about diversification — it’s about alignment. Unitrade is leveraging its strong logistics, warehousing, and fulfilment infrastructure to bring solar products to the same markets it already serves in hardware and building materials.
For contractors and developers, this means a single supplier relationship for both foundational materials and energy systems — reducing procurement complexity and increasing project cohesion.
The company also sees solar adoption as a long-term investment in the value chain. “We believe future-ready infrastructure starts with future-ready supply,” said a Unitrade representative.
Helping Projects Comply with Green Goals With ESG frameworks and sustainability disclosures becoming standard in the construction industry, many project owners are under pressure to show environmental leadership. Unitrade’s solar catalogue directly supports those goals.
From reducing grid dependence to improving energy ratings in green-certified buildings, Unitrade’s offerings are designed to help customers build with climate responsibility in mind — while maintaining the practical durability expected of all its products.
