Performance trends and lifecycle savings of implemented solar photovoltaic system in housing development under tropical climat

Along with the green movement in Malaysia, this paper seeks (1) to investigate the performance trends of employed solar photovoltaic system in housing development under tropical climate, (2) to determine the lifecycle savings and payback period of this technology. The research focuses on Mesra T...
