Photovoltaic (PV) systems are the most promising renewable energy source in Malaysia because it is a tropical country receiving a huge amount of solar irradiation every year. However, Malaysia is surrounded by South China Sea and Malacca Straits. The vapour from the sea water with the blow of...

Malaysia is heavily dependent on fossil fuel for electricity generation. With the rapidly diminishing of its fuel reserve and the increasingly negative effects of fossil fuels to the environment, the government has begun to utilise bio-fuel and solar radiation for electricity generation....

The Luminescent Solar Concentrator (LSC) is a polymer plate that contains a luminescent specimen with photovoltaic (PV) cells attached to its edges. Light entering on the plate is absorbed by the luminescent material which in turn emits light. Part of the emitted light propagates through the...

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are the most promising renewable energy sources in Malaysia because of its location being around the equatorial region where sunlight is available throughout the year. However, the country is warm and surrounded by the South China Sea and Malacca Straits. A large amount...
