In line with the global trend of decarbonization and sustainable development, Malaysia has been working hard in recent years to get rid of its over-dependence on fossil fuels and increase the use of renewable energy in power generation. China’s leadership in the solar industry provides not only the equipment but also the technology for Malaysia’s green transformation.
