提 高 本 地 再 生 能 源 发 电 量 政府于2016年推出的净电能计量（Net Energy Metering )，是一项推广安装太阳能板系统在屋顶的可再生能源计划。用户可在屋顶安装太阳能板以自行发电与用电，太阳能板系统所产生的余量电能将输出到公用电缆系统 (国能），以「一比_」等价抵消电费。此计划适用于家庭、商业、工业及农业用户。 根据资料，我国拥有320万个有地房产、 45万栋店屋、9万栋排楼工厂、2万1000家独立式工厂和1000家购物中心。此前，消费者将太阳能光伏发电系统所产生的余量电能以每千瓦 31仙出售给国能，却以超过每千瓦时（kWh ) 50仙的价格向国能购买电能，导致净电能计量 政策在过去没有得到很好的回响。 然而，自去年1月1日开始，电能的购 买价格已不存在差异，以「一对一抵消」的, 方式，即整体电能消耗（Total electricity consumption )减去太阳能生产电能（total electricity generation )乘以电价。这政策让消费者能享受更低的电费，使得太阳能屋顶更具吸引力。 为全世界的屋顶都装 上太阳能系统，是Plus Solar Systems创办人兼首席执行员许传真的梦 想。我国曾定下2025年达 到再生能源发电量占总发电量20%的目标，然而截 至2019年尾，我国再生能源发电量的占比仅4%，只 用5年的时间追赶剩余的16% 就像是不可能的任 务，但许传真表示：「不是没有可能。」 许传真透露，目前市场上对于太阳能的询问度越来越高，接受度亦然。 「8年前Plus Solar刚创办时，大家对于太阳能屋顶大都抱持观望的态度，甚至抱有质疑。」 他直言，当时太阳能屋顶只有小众市场能接受，直到大家看见太阳能的节能效果，使得市场在短时间获得快速成长。 他说，如今大家都意识到安装太阳能面板的好处，只是他们不愿意花钱。他透露，投资太阳能面板需耗资10万至300万令吉，视面积大小而定。「目前国内很多银行皆提供贷款， 协助企业们投资太阳能面板，不用担心资金周传不灵。」 再生能源涵盖水力、风力和太阳能，但许传真预测，在20%目标里，很大部分会来自太阳能，因为相比起其他能源，太阳能在我国有著得天独厚的优势，更何况马来西亚的风力不足以发电。「 「至于水力发电则不包含在20%目标内。」根据大马能源委员会在 《2017年大马半岛电源供应展望》报告中指出，2016年马来半岛有高达53%电力供应来自煤炭发电，天然 气发电则占约41 %，水力发电占约5%。 在冰岛只有33万人口的岛国，几乎全岛用电都来自可再生能源。此外， 90%的冰岛家庭利用地热能源直接供热。冰岛由化石燃料向可持续能源转型的故事，鼓舞了其他致力于提高可再生能源利用率的国家。图为冰岛的奈斯亚威里尔 (Nesjavellier)Read more
