Techno-economic and carbon emission assessment of a large-scale floating solar pv system for sustainable energy generation in support of malaysia’s renewable energy roadmap

Energy generation from renewable sources is a global trend due to the carbon emissions generated by fossil fuels, which cause serious harm to the ecosystem. As per the long-term goals of the ASEAN countries, the Malaysian government established a target of 31% renewable energy generation by 2025 to...
