Solar cartoon Wednesday

The truth, I'm afraid, is not far from the following illustration.

Mr Solarman with his bags of 'cash from the sun'.

Look on the brighter side - on the right hand side that is.


The solar truth...

The Feed-in Tariff mechanism in Malaysia actually makes it possible for you to accumulate $$. Of course not in a similar fashion as our Mr Solarman here, but you get the idea - you have a net-cash generator on top of your roof.

Read about the Rooftop Solar PV scheme in Malaysia here.

Alternatively, you can go to SEDA Malaysia website.

Panasonic LED bulbs last 40 years?

Location: Kota Kinabalu city.

Of election campaign signs and advertorial billboards....

Panasonic's LED bulbs can really last 40 years?

That's interesting. Because 40 years is pretty loooong a time; a person's working life is shorter than this.

Put it this way: You started working for an LED bulb manufacturing company at the age of 20. By the time you retire, the batch of bulbs you produced on your first day at office is still functioning, and saving 80% of energy.

Amazing!
