Solar Energy is a truly renewable energy source on the earth.

Malaysia has favourable climatic

change conditions for the development of solar energy that potential with daily average solar
radiation of 4000 – 5000 Wh/m2. Installation of solar panels may give benefit to environment and
community. The purpose of solar power and the impact it can have on clean and renewable energy
production.
