Solar industry can generate more jobs in Malaysia, says minister

September 10, 2019

What I don’t like, is that virgin greenery is being cut down for RE purposes. When are we going to get ‘solar PV film’ which we can attach to our windows, replacing solar film? And we need cheap env-friend battery banks.

Dateline 2019-07-23, Malay Mail:

 The Ministry of Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change (MESTECC) is confident that the solar industry will be able to create more jobs in the country.

Minister Yeo Bee Yin said more than 54,300 Malaysians have been working in related fields in the industry since 2011.

Malaysia Solar Energy Profile

July 28, 2019

Dateline 2019-06-25, Solar Magazine:

Malaysia has emerged as an international hub for the manufacture of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells, wafers and modules. The southeast Asian nation has been comparatively slow to take up solar energy at home, however.

U.S.-based market leaders First Solar and SunPower, along with South Korea-Germany’s Hanwha Q Cells manufacture the vast bulk of their solar PV cells and modules in Malaysia. Other market-leading manufacturers, including China’s JA Solar and Jinko Solar, have major manufacturing operations there, as well.

Malaysia can generate more electricity if all roofs use solar panels, says Yeo

June 22, 2019

Factually, Yes. Also, if we can harness all our cows to methane collection machines, we would have another gas source. And we need to reduce the cost of Solar PV panel installation to say, 3x normal roofing costs.

Now, if Malaysia can commercially produce cheaper, faster-charging, high energy density environmentally friendly rechargeable batteries, we are cooking with gas. Gravity/ pressure based energy storage facilities anyone?

Dateline 2019-05-14, The Star:

Malaysia can generate 1.4 times more electricity if all the roofs in Peninsular Malaysia are fitted with solar panels, compared with the conventional electricity generation of fossil fuel burning.

Energy, Science, Technology, Environment and Climate Change Minister Yeo Bee Yin said there are over 4.12 million buildings with solar rooftop potential in the peninsula.

If all these buildings are fitted with solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, it can generate a whopping 34,194 megawatt (MW) of electricity at any one time, she said.

In comparison, the current total electricity production in Malaysia is an average of 24,000 MW at any one time.

Saturday Star 2009-02-15 – Job Opportunities

February 16, 2009

First off, indications are that the Malaysian oil & gas industry is being hit hard by the recession. So, if there are adverts in the papers, expect that only the brightest (and cheapest) will be offered jobs.

Another week, another scan of the Saturday Star newspaper. Here’s a list of job ads in the paper:

  • Synergy Oil and Gas Engineering is recruiting fresh chemical engineering graduates, or those with around 1 year experience. CVs may be sent to enquiry@synergykl.com.my.
  • Delcom (public holding company Deleum) is looking for a project and field services engineers. CVs may be sent here, or you can send a hardcopy CV the Human Resources Department, Deleum Berhad, no. 2, Jalan Bangsar Utama 9, Bangsar Utama, 59000 KL.
  • Off topic, but interesting: First Solar is recruiting for a Principal Engineer, Root Cause Engineer, Env Eng, Eng H&S Eng, Manufacturing Engineer. Go to their website. Let me know how interesting the job is.
  • SapuraCrest Petroleum is looking for a whole mess of people. Visit their website for more details.
  • MMHE ATB is looking for engineers, head of manufacturing and design. Apply online.

Sigh, since I have moved with Synergy out of KL, will you patronise Chee Meng in my memory? Or invite me to meetings around Bukit Bintang at lunchtime?
