### English
* **Rapid Capacity Growth**: Malaysia’s solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity is projected to surpass 6.5 GW between 2026 and 2029.
* **Policy Drivers**: Growth is primarily fueled by the upcoming Large Scale Solar 6 (LSS6) tenders and the Corporate Renewable Energy Supply Scheme (CRESS).
* **Market Opportunity**: The engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning (EPCC) sector expects contracts valued between MYR 13 billion and MYR 23 billion over the next five years.
* **Floating Solar Expansion**: To address limited land availability, Malaysia is leveraging its estimated 16.5 GW of floating solar potential.
* **Technical Advantages**: Floating solar arrays provide 5–15% higher energy yield due to the cooling effect of water and better solar exposure.
* **Strategic Integration**: New projects, such as the 595 MW installation at Kenyir Lake, are increasingly integrating Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to manage intermittency.

### 中文 (Chinese)
* **产能快速增长**：预计马来西亚太阳能光伏（PV）装机容量将在2026年至2029年间超过6.5吉瓦（GW）。
* **政策驱动**：增长主要由即将推出的“大型太阳能6”（LSS6）招标计划和“企业可再生能源供应计划”（CRESS）推动。
* **市场机遇**：预计未来五年，工程、采购、施工和调试（EPCC）领域的合同总值将达到130亿至230亿马来西亚令吉。
* **浮动太阳能扩展**：为解决土地资源有限的问题，马来西亚正利用其约16.5吉瓦的浮动太阳能潜力。
* **技术优势**：得益于水的冷却效应和更好的光照条件，浮动太阳能阵列的发电量可提高5%至15%。
* **战略整合**：如肯逸湖（Kenyir Lake）595兆瓦项目等新工程，正日益结合电池储能系统（BESS）以应对能源间歇性问题。
