KOTA KINABALU: Sabahans can now switch to clean and renewable energy easier with the updated solar energy guidelines and new investment framework. Unveiled by the Energy Commission of Sabah (ECoS) to support the growth of solar energy in the state, this updated SELCO-PV Sabah 2.0 guideline allows homeowners and businesses to install solar systems to generate electricity mainly for their own use. It said that ECoS requires prior approval for off grid solar PV installations over 5 kWp, and all installations must obtain a SELCO-PV SABAH 2.0 Approval to Install (SATI) from ECoS before work commences. This ensures that only companies with proven technical capability and financial strength are permitted to operate in Sabah. The public can visit the official ECoS website at www.ecos.gov.my for more information on SELCO-PV Sabah 2.0 and SaRPVI.
