About SUNBOOSTER
SUNBOOSTER turns an overlooked part of a bifacial solar asset into a high-performance optical and operational layer: more light for the rear of the modules, less growing space for grass, and a clearer route to stronger project economics.
Our story
Solar engineers spend enormous effort optimising modules, inverters, structures and trackers. Yet hectares of ground underneath the array are often treated only as land to drain, mow and maintain. With bifacial modules, that ground is also part of the optical system.
SUNBOOSTER was created to connect those two realities. A bright engineered membrane can redirect otherwise-lost sunlight toward the rear cells while physically covering the zones where tropical vegetation creates repeated cost. One intervention can therefore support two separate value streams: additional energy and reduced ground-maintenance work.
That idea is powerful because it can serve both new projects and operating assets. It does not require another megawatt of modules to start creating more output from a suitable existing MWp. It asks owners and EPCC teams to design the ground with the same commercial discipline as the rest of the plant.
Today, SUNBOOSTER is brought to market by Solunar Energy Sdn Bhd. We combine supplied international technology evidence with Malaysian project screening, layout thinking, financial modelling and a clear due-diligence trail. We are building a category—not hiding the assumptions behind a headline.
Built around the project team
We work at the intersection of asset ownership, design, construction and operations. That means testing the commercial case, checking the site geometry, protecting drainage and access, and defining how performance will be measured before deployment.
Start a technical conversationOur mission
We help owners, IPPs, developers and EPCC teams turn ground reflectance into project value through practical engineering, transparent modelling and responsible deployment.
Our vision
We want reflective ground design to become a normal optimisation pathway for suitable bifacial PV—considered alongside modules, trackers, inverters and storage from the earliest stage.
Why we do what we do
Sunlight absorbed by ordinary ground is a missed opportunity when bifacial rear cells are ready to use reflected irradiance.
Repeated mowing and vegetation work can consume budget for years. The covered optical surface can also reduce that recurring task.
Retrofitting a suitable plant can create incremental generation without replacing the operating module fleet or acquiring more land.
Tariff, resource, AC uplift, clipping, costs and ageing are editable because confidence grows when the model can be challenged.
Why the technology is groundbreaking
Conventional thinking treats the land under a PV array as passive space. SUNBOOSTER treats it as a designed optical surface, an O&M intervention and a financial asset at the same time.
High-reflectance membrane returns more incident light upward.
Bifacial rear cells convert part of that irradiance into DC power.
Inverters and BESS determine how much becomes usable AC energy.
Incremental settled energy and O&M savings strengthen cash flow.
Reference projects in the supplied technical dossier report project-dependent gains within and around the 5–11% screening range. SUNBOOSTER does not turn those references into a guarantee: every site is modelled against its own geometry, natural albedo, module bifaciality, inverter headroom, curtailment and contract.
How we work
We separate material test evidence, project models and operating references so decision-makers can see exactly what each one proves.
The membrane must work with the modules, structure, inverter, BESS, drainage, land and O&M plan—not around them.
Optical uplift matters only when it becomes usable AC energy, additional revenue or a defensible operating-cost saving.
Tropical rain, wind, wet soil, fast vegetation, access and constructability belong in the first design conversation.
Credibility by design
The supplied dossier references material-level testing by TÜV SÜD, SGS, CPVT, ZTT and Zhejiang Max Testing across reflectance, accelerated ageing, mechanical strength, restricted substances, flame behaviour and cleanability. Issuer names identify specific reports; they are not presented as blanket endorsement of the SUNBOOSTER brand.
