Sun rises on solar power


By D RajRJ Devan

IMAGINE this – 17 acres of solar panels, producing some 12,000KW of electricity per year, enough to power some 5,000 homes. It will not just be renewable, clean energy, it will be green too. Not a single tree needs to be felled and no vegetation has to give way. To top it off, carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by 8,328 tonnes per year.

Pie in the sky? No, it is happening in Malaysia.
