Boost for solar energy initiative in Sabah, Sarawak rural areas

KOTA KINABALU: Efforts are being made by the government to enhance power generation using solar energy in rural homes in Sabah and Sarawak, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The Deputy Prime Minister said power production using solar technology involving large-scale installation of solar panels on the roofs of homes in rural areas had been implemented in both states for over a decade now.

Among the challenges, he said, was the solar panel battery maintenance and replacement work being given to a limited number of companies. Hence, he said, a new system must be created to overcome the issues that have arisen including to replace the solar panel batteries using new technology that would extend its lifespan.
