Kota Kinabalu: The government is urged to immediately enforce regulatory compliance for all solar street light (SSL) installations in Sabah.

Green Energy Association of Sabah (GENS) President Edward Chua, in making the call, said the installation jobs should only be awarded to companies registered with the Energy Commission of Sabah (ECoS) under the photovoltaic (PV), contractor (on-grid and off-grid) licence.
