ENHANCING the existing feed-in tariff (FiT) programme under the National Renewable Energy (RE) Policy can encourage a steady growth of the solar energy sector in Malaysia, argues RE/Malaysia Building Integrated Photovoltaic Technology Application (MBIPV) national project team leader and chief technical adviser Ahmad Hadri Haris.
“We just need to increase the quota for solar power, for instance, by 1%, under the FiT programme, specifically and solely for solar energy, by 2013 to achieve a more dynamic growth of the sector towards 2020,” says Ahmad in an email.
