Since its inception over a decade ago, Solarvest has gone above and beyond its initial role as merely a solar energy provider to become a comprehensive clean energy expert. Spearheading a movement towards renewable energy, Solarvest has not only illuminated homes and businesses but has also enlightened minds through advocating for policy reforms and fostering public awareness about the benefits of solar power.
“As a leader, I’d like to nurture people and change their lives for the better, be it through charity, ongoing efforts to educate the public about renewable energy via the Malaysian Photovoltaic Industry Association (MPIA), and our support of the small business community by mentoring start-ups via the Solarvest Innovation Lab,” says Chong on the company’s endeavours.
Through programmes such as the Solarvest Innovation Lab, the company sees itself as nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurs by fostering innovation and resilience in the face of global challenges.
