Solaroo Systems: Behind Pekat Group’s Residential Push

Solaroo is a wholly owned subsidiary under Pekat Group Bhd that deals in smaller scale solar photovoltaic systems for residential, commercial and industrial projects.

For the most part, Solaroo looks to be Pekat’s residential solar PV system specialist that complements the group’s other subsidiaries. Established in 1999, Pekat Group pivoted over to Photovoltaic (PV) Renewable Energy Technology in 2006 and has since finished over 195MWp of PV projects.

In this edition of Open for Business, we will learn more about the role that Solaroo plays in the group as well as why Johann built the business under Pekat Group and Solaroo’s relationship with the group. Beyond that we’ll also learn how Solaroo differentiates itself in a competitive market as more and more residential solar players enter the market as well as Solaroo’s ambitions ahead.
