The economic analysis framework of potential development solar PV energy in Malaysia

Nowadays, the increasing of using renewable energy (RE) as an alternative for generating power has brought an attention to the most countries. Current power generations, in which can be called conventional ones, are using the fossil fuel such as coal, gas and oil in operating the power plant. Theref...
