Cost benefits study of solar photovoltaic implementation for residential areas in Malaysia

Solar energy is one of the source of renewable energy and it produces from the sun. Malaysia has a great potential to apply solar photovoltaic system due to the strategic geographical location and received huge amount of solar radiation, average yearly 1400 - 1900 kWh/m2. Generation of electricity i...
