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