'Solar panels are installed on the roof of a house or building, so let's see how the controls (guidelines) are made (how it is different) between other countries. 'So we can share and issue rules on how we can improve existing guidelines so that it is somewhat uniform among Asian countries,' he said. He said this after a ceremony of handing over Proton's official vehicles to JBPM for use during the three days of IFCEM 2024 here today.
