KUALA LUMPUR: Trina Solar Ltd, the world’s largest manufacturer solar energy solutions, has launched its Trinahome solar system into Malaysia.
“Trina Solar sees there is ample opportunity to increase renewable energy’s share of Malaysia’s energy mix,” Trina Solar senior sales director Asia Pacific and Middle East, Ku Jun-Heong said in a statement.
“This can be achieved by adopting solar energy solutions, such as Trinahome.”
Trinahome is perfect for households and small-to-medium sized enterprises (SMEs) wanting to reduce their energy bills and help the environment, says Ku.
Trina Solar said renewable energy accounts for 2% of Malaysia’s energy mix, but the Malaysian government has set a target of 20% by 2025.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency the amount of solar energy capacity in Malaysia rose to 362MW in 2017 from 340MW in 2016, representing a year-on-year increase of 6%.
“We attribute the increase to a growing appreciation for solar energy and positive government policies, such as feed-in tariffs and net energy metering,” Ku said.
“Considering Malaysia is near the equator and there is plenty of sunshine all year round, it makes sense that solar energy play an important role in Malaysia’s energy mix,” he added.
Ku said solar energy was s well-positioned to help the government achieve its 2025 target of 20% renewable energy. The cost of solar energy has reduced dramatically over the past ten years and it is now affordable.
“This explains why we are now able to introduce solar energy systems to households and SMEs.”
Trinahome can be installed in one day, depending on the weather, and can be installed on any roof-type in Malaysia. The solar panels and other parts are backed by Trina Solar warranties including a 25-year power performance guarantee on the solar panels.
