FEASIBILITY STUDY TO USE SOLAR SYSTEM AS AN ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF ELECTRICITY FOR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS: A CASE STUDY IN UNIKL MITEC

Abstract

This feasibility study presents a case study conducted at UniKL MITEC, exploring the feasibility of implementing a solar system as an alternative source of electricity for the institution. With a growing emphasis on sustainability and renewable energy, educational institutions are seeking ways to reduce their environmental impact and contribute to a greener future. The study aims to assess the practicality and benefits of adopting solar energy at UniKL MITEC, considering financial, technical, and environmental factors specific to the institution. The quantitative analysis evaluates the financial viability of implementing a solar system at UniKL MITEC, including the initial investment costs, potential savings, and return on investment. It also considers factors such as available rooftop space and solar irradiation levels. The qualitative assessment involves interviews and surveys with key stakeholders, including administrators, faculty members, students, and energy experts, to gather insights on their perceptions, expectations, and potential challenges. The expected outcomes of this study include a comprehensive assessment of the financial feasibility of implementing a solar system at UniKL MITEC, along with specific recommendations tailored to the institution's requirements. The findings of this feasibility study will assist UniKL MITEC in making informed decisions regarding the implementation of a solar system. The study highlights the potential cost savings, energy independence, and positive environmental impact associated with adopting solar energy. It aims to provide a roadmap for the institution to transition to renewable energy sources, promote sustainability, and serve as an example for other educational institutions in embracing clean energy solutions.
