Solar energy comes with a price

Solar energy, whether in the form of light or heat, may be free but getting electricity out of it will come at a price.

In several remote parts of the world where infrastructure is scarce, including villages in the country, electricity is obtained from solar energy, which has long been promoted as a clean, efficient and renewable source of power for all Malaysians.

However, middle and lower income households in Malaysia may only be able to afford such photovoltaic (PV) technology in their homes in about 10 years.
