Malaysia’s Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA) has launched a solar incentive scheme (Solar for Rakyat incentive scheme or Solaris) to encourage installation of solar PV systems by domestic users.

Fadillah, who is also the deputy prime minister, said in a statement on March 27 that the installation of solar PV in residential premises by domestic users represents a “quick win” in government’s bid to boost its renewable energy efforts.
