Energy efficiency through photovoltaic system in the administration building of Johor matriculation college

The extensive fossil fuel exploitation to fulfill almost all human activities for energy consumption has led to some unwanted atmospheric and environmental pollution. Photovoltaic system (PVS) or "solar electricity" converts sunlight {light energy) into electricity is produced with minimal...

description The extensive fossil fuel exploitation to fulfill almost all human activities for energy consumption has led to some unwanted atmospheric and environmental pollution. Photovoltaic system (PVS) or "solar electricity" converts sunlight {light energy) into electricity is produced with minimal pollution, minimal maintenance and with the good intention to tap the most powerful renewable natural resources in the galaxy-Sun. The objectives of this study are (1) to investigate the factors which needs to be considered, (2) to evaluate these factors throughly, and (3) to propose to the top management for PVS adoption onto the administration building of Johor Matriculation College (ABJMC), after some innovative suggestions have been made to overcome the negative factors for the ease of this technology adoption. Although ABJMC is a non-profit organisation, it is still pressurred by monthly high electricity bill that burdens the ABJMC's operations (particularly on the administration building that consumes energy the most).
