A reality check on the large scale of solar energy technology via integrated SWOT-PESTLE-AHP analysis

Malaysia possesses significant potential for solar power generation due to its tropical weather and high levels of solar irradiance. This climate condition implies that solar technology, such as photovoltaic (PV) systems enable to generate more electricity per unit area, making it more economically...
