Samaiden Group Bhd and Tan Boon Ming Sdn Bhd (TBM) have launched their first in-store solar consumer experience at Bangsar Village, marking a key milestone in their partnership.
The initiative allows customers to explore live solar panel displays, consult with advisors, and take steps towards installing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems for their homes—all within a retail setting. It also introduces integrated smart energy solutions to help homeowners better manage and optimise their energy use.
Samaiden’s chief strategy officer Tee Wu Shun said the collaboration aims to make clean energy more accessible by bringing solar solutions into familiar retail environments.
He added that rising energy needs, including electric vehicle (EV) charging and higher electricity costs, are driving demand for smarter energy solutions that allow homeowners to generate, store and manage their own power more efficiently.
TBM’s general manager Tan Wai Keat said the initiative reflects the company’s evolving role from an appliance retailer to a provider of comprehensive home energy solutions.
He noted that as energy consumption grows, combining solar generation with smart energy management is becoming increasingly essential rather than optional.
Both companies said the Bangsar Village launch is the first phase of a wider rollout across TBM outlets nationwide, with plans to expand into commercial and SME segments.
They added that the partnership will also explore future innovations, including energy storage and integrated home energy management systems.
