2100 Trees and Growing: Verdant Solar's Ongoing Tree Planting Journey
At Verdant Solar, sustainability is something we put into practice. While our core mission focuses on clean energy solutions, we believe true environmental impact comes from taking holistic action. That’s why tree planting has become a meaningful extension of our journey toward a greener future.
We are proud to collaborate with Animal Projects and Environmental Education Sdn Bhd (APE Malaysia) on a structured tree planting programme focused on long-term forest restoration, ensuring trees are planted in ecologically important areas and properly maintained.
Verdant Solar pledges to plant one tree for every solar system size installed. Through this effort, our customers are not only reducing carbon emissions through solar energy but they are also helping rebuild forests and protect wildlife habitats.
In 2025, this initiative resulted in the planting of 500 trees at the Lower Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary (Plot coordinates: N05°28'56.69" E118°17'01.80").
Over the past two years (2024–2025), Verdant Solar has cumulatively planted 2,100 trees through various collaborations, as part of our ongoing commitment to environmental restoration. The tree species planted in Kinabatangan are native to the area and selected to support the local ecosystem
Bayor (Pterospermum elongatum) – 14
Salungapid (Mollotus muticus) – 303
Meransi (Carrallia brachiata) – 20
Apid Apid (Exoecaria indica) – 35
Ranggu (Koordersiodendron pinnatum) – 10
Obah Jangkang (Eugenia cerassiformis) – 22
Talisai Paya (Terminalia copelandii) – 12
Pulai (Alstonia sp.) – 5
Limpaga (Azadirachta borneensis) – 21
Kerodong (Microcos sp.) – 3
Lokon (Croton oblongus) – 24
Kayu Malam (Diospyros sp.) – 8
Sengkuang (Dracontomelon) – 23
The planting site was previously an open pocket of land covered only with grasses and ferns. Within five years, the trees are expected to reach up to five metres in height, and in under ten years, they will blend seamlessly into the forest canopy, restoring both structure and life to the area.
As Verdant Solar continues to grow, so will our commitment to sustainability.
Every system installed, every tree planted, and every partnership formed brings us one step closer to a healthier environment. Thank you APE for being our partner in this green movement.
