Malaysian University Installs Southeast Asia's Largest Rooftop Solar System

Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) in Perak, Malaysia, has installed the largest single-rooftop solar power system in Southeast Asia. This 7-megawatt system is a significant step towards sustainability and showcases UTP’s commitment to green technology. The project not only reduces the university's carbon footprint but also serves as an educational tool, allowing visitors to learn about renewable energy firsthand. "This initiative highlights UTP's dedication to both environmental responsibility and educational innovation," said a university spokesperson. The solar panels are expected to generate enough clean energy to power a significant portion of the campus, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The project's success could inspire similar initiatives at other institutions and contribute to Malaysia's broader goals for renewable energy adoption. This is a significant achievement for UTP and a positive step for the environment.
