Techno-economic analysis of 1 MWp grid connected solar PV plant in Malaysia

Most of the public and private technical universities in Malaysia have considerably abundant free areas, which could be a better place for equipping the renewable energy harvesters. The main objective of this paper is to analyse the feasibility of developing a solar PV plant at two different campuse...
