Summary

This article has discussed the development and the deployment of solar energy in Malaysia . Malaysia has
taken steps to further clean energy deployment by mandating adoption of a renewable energy feed-in
tariff (FiT) mechanism under the countrys 2011 Renewable Energy Act. The FiT implementation process
was designed to support rapid renewable energy deployment while also enhancing energy security and
addressing climate change challenges.
PETRONAS Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Project (685kWp photovoltaic system )which has been installed on
Suria KLCC shopping mall rooftop was PETRONAS first venture into renewable energy, uses six
different types of solar technologies . This is equivalent to generating clean energy for 250 typical
Malaysian households annually with an average consumption of 50,000 kilowatt hours each month.The
clean energy generated from the system currently supplies 30 per cent of Suria KLCCs energy
requirement. It also contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emission .

Datuk Dr Abu Bakar Jaafar who is another solar energy producer ,has a 4.75kWp system installed in his
home in Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam under the Suria 1000 project. Government has subsidised the PV
system to Datuk Dr Abu Bakar. He reckoned, that this is a better system in generating power .
The 5MW solar farm on oil palm land leased from Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) is among
of the latest commercial solar energy schemes in Malaysia. The tracker system enables the panels to
follow the suns path in order to tap maximum sunlight . This enable the 17,000 solar panels on the farm
wto face either East or West, depending on the time of the day, and will sit horizontally when the sun is
directly overhead.
As a conclusion, installing the photovoltaic system is not just for investment. Equally important is that
we are helping to produce green energy and reduce carbon emissions.

Paragraph

As we can see the development and deployment of solar energy in Malaysia

is increasing a year to year. In the first place that we can see is Suria KLCC
was implemented of 685kWp photovoltaic system (PV). The PV can supply
30% of the malls energy needs or power 250 typical Malaysian households
for a month. Further, Feed-in Tariff (FiT) was launched by the government to
promote generation of green energy. Since of that, Datuk Dr Abu Bakar Jaafar
that is one of solar energy producer which was installed the 4.75kWp system
at his home. Next, the 5MW solar farm sits on oil palm land leased from
Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) at Sepang, Selangor is also one of
the development of solar energy in Malaysia. Last, on the top of KLCCs roof
was installed by 4MW photovoltaic system. Therefore, we also can install
solar cells at our home to produce renewable energy. Besides that, the PV
installation also can give us benefits that is profit of sell back to Tenaga
Nasional Berhad (TNB) of excess energy. So, it is also a investment.
