Sizing and Design Performance Evaluation for Standard Housing of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Systems in Malaysia

Abstract

The objective of this research is to assess the effectiveness of a solar energy system designed for residential buildings, employing photovoltaic technology. Implementing such a system can lead to decreased electricity usage, resulting in cost savings and reduced investment. This study primarily aims to develop an efficient solar photovoltaic setup capable of fulfilling the entire energy requirement of a proposed residential structure without relying on traditional energy sources. The presence of a well-suited photovoltaic system can contribute to lower electricity bills for the user and a reduction in overall household energy consumption.
