E-solar

This green innovation known as E-SOLAR stands for Educational Electronic (E); Sustainable (S); Orang Asli (O); Lighting; (L) Area; (A) and Resilience (R). It involves the application of an Edu-digital platform for electronic gadgets that cater to the education of solar lighting applications in Orang Asli communities in Malaysia. In collaboration with JAKOA, this project addresses insufficient electricity supply during blackouts in remote areas. The idea of disseminating solar educational programs in Orang Asli communities is significant since solar energy education has received relatively little attention in the educational sector. Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7), Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0), and the concept of Malaysia MADANI aim to provide affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy, reducing maintenance expenses and securing more sustainable solutions. This innovation aims to enhance the understanding of DIY installation and maintenance of solar panels among the Orang Asli communities. This Edu-digital platform will help to educate the Orang Asli across Malaysia to have sustainable energy in order to mitigate the issue of power interruption. The innovation will demonstrate step-by-step procedures for installing the solar technologies on their own. It comprises a QR code that is easier for these communities to refer to, as the innovation has included teaching videos and infographics via QR codes that allow easy understanding of any level of people. This approach supports various learning styles through multimedia, while also offering on the-go access to materials and expert support. Additionally, QR codes streamline progress tracking and feedback, making the education process efficient and cost effective. E-SOLAR significantly improves the accessibility, interactivity, and practicality of solar installation training, leading to better learning outcomes for Orang Asli communities.
