Bhd. (&#8220;Verdant Solar&#8221;)<\/strong> to introduce Malaysia\u2019s first integrated residential solar and protection model. This collaboration aims to encourage wider adoption of rooftop solar among homeowners and supports the nation\u2019s long-term shift toward clean energy.\r\n<br><br>\r\n\r\nThe collaboration brings together Verdant Solar\u2019s residential rooftop solar installation capabilities with Tune Protect\u2019s insurance solutions, offering homeowners a more secure and customer-centric solar experience, complete with embedded protection from the start.\r\n\r\n<br><br>\r\nAs Malaysia accelerates its energy transition through initiatives such as the Solar Accelerated Transition Action Programme (\u201cSolar ATAP\u201d), interest in residential solar continues to grow. Yet, over 97% of Malaysian homes remain without rooftop solar, highlighting a significant opportunity to expand renewable energy adoption at the household level.\r\n\r\n<br><br>\r\nBy integrating insurance protection directly into the installation package, the model addresses common concerns around financial risks, system damage and unexpected operational disruptions. The result is a seamless end-to-end solution designed to make green living simpler, safer and more practical for households nationwide.\r\n<br><br>\r\n\r\n<strong>Hans-Joachim Zimmermann (\u201cHans-Joachim\u201d), Appointed Representative of Tune Protect Malaysia<\/strong>, said, \u201cToday\u2019s launch represents a new approach to supporting Malaysia\u2019s energy transition at the household level. As more homeowners explore rooftop solar, their long-term investments must be supported by protection that provides greater peace of mind.\u201d\r\n\r\n<br><br>\r\nHe added, \u201cAt Tune Protect, we believe insurance plays an important role in enabling sustainability by empowering people to adopt greener solutions confidently. Integrating protection into solar installations aligns with our Sustainability tagline, \u2018In Tune for a Better Tomorrow,\u2019 and reinforces our commitment to embedding ESG principles into our business and customer experience.\u201d\r\n\r\n<br><br>\r\nTune Protect\u2019s sustainability strategy is anchored in its ESG framework, emphasising responsible governance, sustainable business practices, environmental stewardship and community impact. The company has outlined a Net Zero Roadmap for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050 and has committed to a zero-coal underwriting portfolio since August 2023.\r\n\r\n<br><br>\r\nSupporting household solar adoption complements these commitments by encouraging renewable energy usage within communities and strengthening climate resilience.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>Supporting Sustainable Living Through Protection<\/strong><br>\r\nUnder the partnership, homeowners who install solar systems through Verdant Solar will automatically receive insurance protection provided by Tune Protect Malaysia as part of a fully integrated solution.\r\n\r\n<br><br>\r\nThe coverage includes:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Protections against accidental loss or damage caused by storms, fire or other unforeseen events<\/li>\r\n<li>Coverage for loss of electricity savings arising from system downtime caused by insured damage<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\nBy embedding the protection into Verdant Solar\u2019s package, homeowners are spared the need to purchase additional insurance separately. This integration simplifies the adoption journey, while ensuring that solar systems and the energy savings they generate are protected throughout their operational lifespan.\r\n<br><br>\r\n\r\nVerdant Solar is one of Malaysia\u2019s leading residential solar installers, holding the Malaysian Book of Records title for \u2018Most PV Homes Installed\u2019 three years in a row and a strong track record in delivering reliable, high quality solar solutions.\r\n<br><br>\r\n\r\n<strong>Zeth Lim, Chief Executive Officer of Verdant Solar Sdn Bhd<\/strong>, said, \u201cToday marks an important milestone for Verdant Solar and Tune Protect, as our partnership integrates insurance coverage with rooftop solar installations, strengthening consumer confidence as solar adoption in Malaysia continues to move into the mainstream.\r\n<br><br>\r\n\r\n\u201cWith more than 97% of Malaysian households yet to install solar despite abundant sunlight and supportive initiatives such as Solar ATAP, this collaboration aims to make solar a more secure, accessible and attractive option for homeowners seeking both environmental and long-term financial benefits, while supporting Malaysia\u2019s National Energy Transition Roadmap target of achieving 70% renewable energy capacity by 2050.\u201d\r\n<br><br>\r\n\r\n<strong>Supporting Malaysia\u2019s Renewable Energy Transition<\/strong><br>\r\nAs Malaysia expands its renewable energy capacity, residential solar is expected to play an increasingly vital role in achieving the nation\u2019s sustainability goals.\r\n<br><br>\r\nSolar power currently accounts for the largest share of Malaysia\u2019s renewable energy capacity, and policy initiatives such as the Solar ATAP are enhancing market clarity and supporting long-term residential adoption. The programme allows homeowners to optimise system sizes based on actual energy needs, making solar more accessible and economically viable. These developments support Malaysia\u2019s ambition of achieving <strong>70% renewable energy capacity by 2050<\/strong>1, with solar positioned as a central driver of this goal.\r\n\r\n<br><br>\r\n<strong>Hans-Joachim<\/strong> added, \u201cSolar systems are significant long-term investment, yet they remain vulnerable to unexpected incidents such as storms, lightning or falling objects. While warranties typically cover defects, they do not address accidental damage or loss of electricity savings. Our role is to bridge this gap to make sustainable living a practical, secure, and achievable for every Malaysian household.\u201d\r\n\r\n<br><br>\r\nThrough this partnership, Tune Protect and Verdant Solar aim to contribute meaningfully to Malaysia\u2019s sustainability agenda while empowering more households to participate in the nation\u2019s energy transition.\r\n\r\n<br><br>\r\nFor more information about the solar protection offering, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/verdantsolar.my\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">verdantsolar.my<\/a> or our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/verdantsolarmy\/?hl=en\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, LinkedIn, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@verdantsolarmy?lang=en\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TikTok<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/verdantsolar\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> page.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<br><br>\r\n<HR>\r\n<small>\r\n<sup>1<\/sup> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mida.gov.my\/malaysias-path-to-sustainable-growth\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Malaysia\u2019s Path to Sustainable Growth<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than 97% of Malaysian homes remain without rooftop solar, presenting growth potential Embedded protection safeguards solar systems against accidental damage and loss of electricity savings Enables homeowners to adopt solar with greater confidence and financial assurance KUALA LUMPUR, 11 March 2026 \u2013 Tune Protect Malaysia (&#8220;Tune Protect&#8221;), today announced a strategic partnership with Verdant [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10270"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10270"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10270\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10271,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10270\/revisions\/10271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tuneprotect.com\/my\/wp-api\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
