House Solar Panels in Malaysia


House Solar panels in Malaysia


House Solar panels are usually refers to a system of solar water heater (as installed on the roofs of houses). Solar modules typically refers to a system of solar photovoltaic (PV). This is called a module because the system is modular (can be installed in accordance with the necessary capacity in series or parallel depending on system configuration).

Malaysia has been involved in this technology for over 10 years. TNB through its agency, has been studying and trying TNRD several places, such as staff housing and rural communities. Several experts from local universities are also in the same time to conduct R & D, respectively.

On average, the results of the study of local R & D, energy efficiency is 1.200 kWh / kWpeak / year. In other words, each solar PV 1 kWpeak produce 1,200 kWh of electricity per year. If you use energy 400kWh/month (12 * 400 = 4800 kWh / year), the capacity is (4800/1200) = 4 kWp.

House solar panel system consists of two types, storage and grid connected systems. Storage systems often have batteries to store energy generated during the day and night use (also part of the day). This system is generally associated with a number of sources of energy such as diesel generators or windmills, or both, which is also called the solar hybrid.

This system has been installed in many rural communities and is also being installed in rural schools in Sabah and Sarawak, where much of the electricity grid. stations on the island of Peninsular Malaysia is also not as Pulau Perhentian left (Diesel Hybrid Solar Wind), cotton island, etc.

Grid connected system is a system that is connected in parallel with the utility (TNB - a public service of the peninsula, SESB - Sabah and SESCO - Sarawak). This system has no battery for energy storage systems. The energy produced (in part of premises used by itself) will be transmitted (exported) to the grid or in other words, sold to the grid. Night (or when the use of electricity exceed the capacity), electricity will be purchased all (import) of the utility grid. In other words, the utility grid (TNB) is a system of batteries to store excess energy. Import-export process takes effect automatically without the system or mekaniakal switchgear and registration / records system meters with ease import / export feature.

Connected systems are already installed in some homes, schools and government offices. TNB has also installed in the premises of several TNB for over 10 years as a study. The Government of Malaysia, in collaboration with UNDP-GEF (Global Environment Facility) are collaborating to advance the industry through the Malaysia Building Integrated Photo-voltaic (MBIPV) managed by the Energy Centre (PTM) to Bangi. This project consists of local and foreign experts, led by experts from the TNRD. One objective is to reduce the installation cost of PV technology through special incentives, including the transfer of technology. Those wishing to participate in this program (Program Suria 1000) or BIPV Demonstration Program, please contact PTM. Information on projects and activities available here or here. BIPV solar PV system is designed to integrate into the structure of the system. For example, the PV module to be part of the roof (or in cold climates, these systems integrate with the roof and walls of buildings).

For the record, this system has been installed;
a) Construction Zeo PTM Malaysia Energy Centre (Towards Zero Energy Office Building) in Bangi
b) Sri Aman Secondary School, Petaling Jaya.
c) Some of the houses in the City 16, Putrajaya.
d) HQ Putrajaya Perdana Building, Precinct 16, Putrajaya
e) private homes in and around Kuala Lumpur, Subang, Semenyih, Singapore, etc.
f) Sustainable Building Energy Commission Building, Precinct 2, Putrajaya (under construction)
g) While in the process - the developer and several private homes.

About this BIPV system cost depends on the technology used in both module polycrystalline, monocrystalline or amorphous (thin film).

In general, the price of installing photovoltaic systems (with the installation, including UPS) is the DH23-25K / kWpeak. This decline in prices from year to year. Last year was RM 28K/kWp. Rules of thumb, if you want to install 4 kWp BIPV, the cost is estimated at DH23, 000 X = 4Kwp RM92, 000. The price may be higher if it were made without referring to specialists or MPIA BIPV (solar Association of Malaysia).

In Malaysia, the result of government cooperation, local universities, TNB and SIRIM, has established a standard installation of PV systems. Interested persons may obtain a copy of the SIRIM (Standards Department).

In addition, for those who wish to pursue BIPV, courses can be organized by the Energy Center project in Bangi kompentasi MBIPV. This course covers the theory training and practical tests. For more information, MBIPV PTM-MPIA and approval / certification by international agencies to organize courses. More information here.

To his knowledge, there are two recent international companies in the process of opening the PV plant in Malaysia. One of Kulim (First Solar) and one in Dengkil-Cyberjaya. Rumor has another international company in the United States is negotiating for entry into Malaysia. W

Sun Bear Solar Pte. Ltd., a global solar players in the energy industry will invest RM5.2 billion in Malaysia to build a plant in Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park (KKIP) glass production industry fotovoltik solar (PV).

Director General of Malaysian Industrial Development Authority (MIDA), Datuk Jalilah Baba said, the first investment of its kind in Malaysia should further stimulate the solar industry in Malaysia.

He said the investments that involve the production of solar glass for is clean, modules and applications build Malaysia's efforts to attract investment tracking solar PV manufacturers available in Pakistan.

"Malaysia was chosen as an investment destination because we have raw materials such as silica sand and limestone used to make solar glass is seen to attract more businesses to set up a solar photovoltaic system in the countries.

"Before, solar glass is imported and we are in discussions with several companies to dominate the PV industry," he said after the announcement of Sun Bear Solar investments in Pakistan, here today.

Now the president and CEO of Sun Bear Solar, Judd Lee Holt.

Jalilah said the investment would also generate local economic growth, including to generate 1,200 job opportunities to the people of Sabah when the installation is completed.

"It also helps develop and leverage KKIP small and medium industries in delivering products and services," he said.

Meanwhile, Judd said Holt, the construction of the plant consists of two phases, each involving RM2.2 billion and RM3 land area of 120 hectares.

He said construction of the first phase should start in the middle of this year will result in the glass network arises (float) to the window and model of the bathroom.

"The operation of the first phase should begin in the first quarter of 2012 while construction work is only the second phase begins at the end of this year. Construction work will normally take between 18 to 24 months.

"The second phase of this plant is designed to develop the manufacturing processes of glass solar system similar," he said.

House Solar panels is clean, renewable (unlike chat, grease and coal) and sustainable, ration to shelter our nature. It does not pollute our air by releasing carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide before mercury into the feeling like many traditional forms of electrical generations does. Therefore Solar Energy does not make a payment to worldwide warming, acid drop before smog. It actively contributes to the decrease of wounding sour stock chat emissions. It’s generated anywhere it is desirable. By not using in the least fuel, Solar Energy does not make a payment to the cost and problems of the recovery and carrying of fuel before the luggage compartment of radioactive fallow.
