As most educational buildings in Malaysia have pitched roofs (Othuman Mydin et al., 2014), assessing the feasibility of solar PV installation with a specific rooftop angle will better understand the system's design and the impact on energy savings and CO 2 mitigation.
The importance of potential impact of solar PV on educational institutions can be extended to energy and electricity bill savings. Thus, it should be noted that for this study, the solar PV system for all institutes was set to grid-connected without battery storage.
Because residential has a peak time outside the solar PV peak hour, battery storage is seen as more necessary. Therefore, the educational building will fully utilize solar PV production for self-consumption compared to the residential. Of course, the size of a solar PV system will affect the total power generation output.
The present work studies the potential of installing solar PV on the rooftop of educational buildings with various roof tilted angles. To this end, results show that the potential PV generation is significantly high even for small rooftop areas at certain education buildings and can accommodate the institute's energy load demand.
