KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 — Smart EnerG Pte Ltd has entered right into a memorandum of settlement (MoA) with Nanotechnology & Catalysis Research Centre (Nanocat), Universiti Malaya (UM), at Azalea assembly room, Institute for Advanced research (IAS), UM in Kuala Lumpur, immediately.
The MOA, signed by Smart EnerG Pte Ltd Director, Victor Tan, Jason and UM’s Director of the Nanotechnology & catalysis Research Centre (Nanocat), Professor Mohd Rafie Johan, Principal Investigator, Associate Professor Lai Chin Wei, aimed to judge the analysis mission concerning the analysis of functionalised TiO2 nanocoating on photovoltaic (PV) panels to enhance the generated energy in addition to cut back the general photo voltaic system upkeep prices.
Before we discuss concerning the perception of the collaboration on this mission, it’s essential to grasp the federal government’s robust dedication in direction of inexperienced renewable photo voltaic power sends a robust sign to each home and worldwide buyers.
As local weather change accelerates, Malaysia is quickly rising its reliance on renewable power sources. While Malaysia held the highest place in photo voltaic PV module manufacturing in South-east Asia till 2019. By 2021, Malaysia contributed 4 per cent to world photo voltaic PV module manufacturing. Nonetheless, Malaysia’s photo voltaic PV trade is increasing, supported by governmental initiatives, renewable power insurance policies, and funding.
By March 2023, Malaysia’s share of renewables was 25 per cent, surpassing the 2010 goal, which set a goal of 20 per cent renewable power within the energy era combine (also called the put in capability combine) by 2025. The essential purpose for this success is photo voltaic power. Malaysia has large potential to harness power from the solar as Malaysia is positioned on the Equator and receives six hours of daylight on common every day.
A collection of presidency initiatives, mixed with the falling value of photo voltaic panels and elevated consciousness amongst Malaysians on the advantages of photo voltaic power in lowering their electrical energy payments and carbon footprint, have additionally performed a task.
With Malaysia’s renewable power targets and schemes supporting photo voltaic PV plant installations in utility, residential, and industrial sectors, there’s a necessity for stronger native photo voltaic PV manufacturing. Malaysia plans to put in 1.4 GW of photo voltaic yearly till 2030, then enhance to 4.3 GW yearly till 2050. This will think about sources, land, and demand centres for photo voltaic set up, as reported by the International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena).

Among the ten flagship tasks recognized below this National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) is the institution of photo voltaic parks to speed up the deployment on the utility-scale. Today, Malaysia has proven a robust dedication to selling photo voltaic power growth for the reason that introduction of the National Renewable Energy Policy in 2010.
This dedication has confirmed fruitful by the numerous rise in operational photo voltaic PV installations during the last 13 years. Overall, the photo voltaic power future seems vivid in Malaysia and everywhere in the world. Therefore, the principle objective of this industrial-university collaboration is enhancing photo voltaic panel output by means of elevated energy era utilizing novel nanocoating layers in addition to inexperienced photo voltaic panel cleansing resolution.
“We are excited to embark on this collaborative journey with Smart EnerG Pte Ltd to discover the probabilities of nanocoatings in enhancing the effectivity and reliability of photo voltaic photovoltaic (PV) panels. It is thru collaborations like these that we will collectively tackle the challenges, innovate new options, and form the way forward for our inexperienced renewable PV photo voltaic power fields. This MOA change ceremony marks a significant occasion and essential milestone for all of us, as this collaboration holds the potential to develop a promising nanocoating formulation for photo voltaic photovoltaic (PV) panels to be able to additional improve the generated energy effectivity in addition to cut back photo voltaic system upkeep value,” mentioned Prof Mohd Rafie, director of Nanocat, Universiti Malaya.
“I’m eagerly anticipating a profitable collaboration that can generate wonderful educational and trade impacts on this mission. I hope this groundbreaking collaboration will pave the best way for progressive developments and foster larger synergy amongst our esteemed establishments, in the end benefiting the sphere of inexperienced renewable photo voltaic power and enhancing the nationwide energy effectivity in total.
“In conjunction with the worldwide inexperienced motion, Smart EnerG’s mission and goal is targeted on additional enhancing and enhancing Eco Friendly options and the inexperienced expertise surroundings,” commented Victor, representing Smart EnerG.
“Universiti Malaya, a famend and respected establishment, has graciously agreed to help us by means of their analysis and growth program to realize this goal. We anticipate that this collaboration between Universiti Malaya and Smart EnerG might be groundbreaking for the inexperienced expertise trade. This is a serious milestone for us and we’re grateful and appreciative to Prof Dr Rafie, Associate Prof Dr Lai and their staff for this cooperation.”
The collaboration between Universiti Malaya and Smart EnerG Pte Ltd displays a shared dedication to driving constructive change by means of collaborative analysis and innovation. As the partnership progresses, each events stay devoted to leveraging their respective strengths to develop sensible options that can profit society and the surroundings.
