About MPIA

Who We Are

MPIA (Malaysian Photovoltaic Industry Association) has had on raising awareness about solar photovoltaic (PV) technology in Malaysia for the past two decades. Establishing the organization in 2006 with an initial seed grant from the Malaysia Building Integrated Photovoltaic (MBIPV) Project, a project jointly implemented by United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the then, Ministry of Energy, Water and Communications (KTAK) with initial membership of around 45. Today, MPIA has nearly 200 members and other successful outcomes of the MBIPV Project includes the establishment of Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) which is instrumental in driving both renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives in the country

Over the years, MPIA’s mission and vision have played a crucial role in advancing solar PV awareness and its adoption among the nation’s people. As a result of MPIA’s efforts, the general population has become more knowledgeable about solar energy and its benefits. This increased awareness has set the stage for a more receptive attitude towards embracing sustainable and green changes in the global atmosphere.

MPIA comprises members from every facet of the solar supply chain, including manufacturers, service providers, system integrators, consultants, insurance providers, training providers, academicians , financier, etc.

MPIA’s continued efforts to raise awareness for solar PV further underscore its commitment to sustainable energy development in Malaysia. The organization’s ongoing initiatives to engage the public, provide education, and advocate for favorable policies have contributed to creating an environment where renewable energy solutions like solar PV can thrive.

Our Vision

Everyone can generate their own electricity via solar PV.

Our Mission

• To reform and democratize the electricity supply industry (generation, transmission and distribution).
• To make solar PV price competitive, reliable, sustainable and one of mainstream sources of electricity supply in the country via innovations and incentives.
• To achieve the highest level of professionalism, knowledge and competency in the solar PV industry.

Objectives

• To achieve a national target of at least 12% of total national electricity consumption (~10,000 MWp or 10 GWp) is supplied by solar PV by 2030.
