Prospects of solar electric power systems in rural Malaysia
Rural electrification by extension lines bears a high cost and is difficult to implement due to various administrative and social problems. Solar electric power can meet a large variety of small-scale decentralised energy needs and solve most of the problems mentioned above. Most of the energy needs...
