Malaysia stands as a pioneer in the South East Asia region, taking an early initiative in the adoption of floating photovoltaic panels (FPV). This progressive move is fueled by the escalating demand for FPV solutions, primarily driven by the surge in land costs and the diminishing availability of land due to rapid urbanization. In response to this growing need, forward-thinking business owners are strategically turning to the vast lakes scattered across Malaysia, remnants of the mining industry from over a century ago.

​

One noteworthy example is a privately owned and operated 20MW solar farm located in Malaysia. Situated atop a sprawling 20-acre lake, this innovative solar farm harnesses the potential of FPV technology to generate an impressive 20MWp of electricity. This capacity is substantial, providing enough power to sustain 2,000 residential homes on a monthly basis.
