Why Solar Tiles Are Lighting Up Malaysia's Capital

Imagine your roof generating electricity while protecting your home – that's the dual magic of solar tiles. In sun-drenched Kuala Lumpur, where temperatures average 27°C year-round, these innovative photovoltaic solutions are becoming the talk of the town. With Malaysia's NETR (National Energy Transition Roadmap) aiming for 70% renewable energy by 2050, solar tiles offer both environmental and economic advantages.

Who's Embracing Solar Tiles in KL?
