... One such installation is a bungalow (used as a PV research center) built within the compound of TNB Research, in October 1999. PV modules of 3.6 kWp capacities were used as the roof of the bungalow [7,10,11]. Other examples include the BIPV installations found at TNB Research's nursery, several local universities, and at a private school in Damansara. ...
... Photovoltaic cells are usually made from semiconductor materials such as silicon. The amount of electricity that one single PV cell can produce is just around 2 watts, which is too small even for a small calculator or watch [8][9][10]. Therefore a series of PV cells are connected together and this series of PV cells is called a module. ...

Renewable energy plays an important role in the national energy policy especially in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. For a photovoltaic (PV) system, one important consideration is the cost of the system. One needs to select the best PV array from a range of selection, that is, the one which is the most efficient and with a best price. This article illustrates a method to compute the size and cost of a required PV array, and then after to compute the required battery for the case of a photovoltaic building in Malaysia. The computation is simulated using Matlab integrated with suitable mathematical equations. The generated current and power of the PV array are calculated for daily solar irradiation in Malaysia. The computation enables the user to quickly compute the initial cost needed to be spent if a given PV system is to be installed. A typical building requiring 12 kWh daily energy with 6 kW peak demand load was shown to need at least 114 solar modules at a cost of about RM53k. It is noted that the main cost of the whole PV system is mainly contributed by the cost of the chosen PV array. Hence, the right choice of a PV module is vital in achieving the minimum cost.

This paper is to present 84 panels of amorphous silicon (a-Si) Solar cells that has 58 W 63 V per panel (Kaneka Solar PV) and the total power is 4.872 kW. The solar panels installed on building top of the Electrical Engineering Building at Rajamangala University of Technology (RMUT), Nonthaburi, THAILAND is 71 m 2 . This project has two important objectives. 1. Installation and testing results of 4.872kW Grid-Connected PV System (GPV), to find out the efficiency of PV array , Inverter and Overall. 2. Measurement generating energy in 12 months and calculate generating cost , save cost and average power generation. Three 2.2 kW single-phased Grid-connected inverter generated supply to the distribution system. The control and monitoring system use the Leonics Apollo View Software. The 4.872kW GPV can potentially produce 6,444 kWh of electricity per year and it can save electric cost for Bt15,010.40 (US$375.26) per year. The cost for generated electric energy is Bt8 (US$0.2) per kWh , average power generation is 0.25 kWh/m 2 /day. The overall efficiency of this system is 32.60% , efficiency of PV arrays is 40.12% and efficiency of Grid-Connected inverter is 81.39%.

This article illustrates a simulation method to find a sizing and economic of a required photovoltaic array for a photovoltaic building in Malaysia. This paper represents the result using by Matlab software and also mathematic equation. It is known that the important factor for photovoltaic system is cost of a system, and because of several kinds of the photovoltaic array we have the right to select the best array with the best efficiency and best price. The popular types of materials are crystalline and thin films, which have differences in terms of light absorption efficiency, energy conversion efficiency, manufacturing technology and cost of production. Different kinds of crystalline materials like a mono-crystalline, polycrystalline are available. In this paper, the generated current and generated power by the photovoltaic array is calculated according to daily solar irradiation when the case study is Malaysia. Think over generated power of each array's and also according to required energy for a typically building, the number of photovoltaic array is estimated then the cost of the solar array is calculated. System is simulated by Matlab software, and the results are discussed. The simulation is about sizing and economic in order to select the best array for photovoltaic system to have a optimize system according to size and price of the system.
