A project management case study in assessing and implementing solar photovoltaic project in W University / Huang Mei Ting

Abstract
|
This study examines case study of implementing a local university solar Photovoltaic (PV) system as a project. Green electricity derives clean and sustainable energy from the sun, reduces dependency on fossil fuel, lower greenhouse gas emission, as an approach to mitigate global climate change. However, statistics indicate that solar PV accounted for less than 1% of total generated electricity in Malaysia. This study explores the five innovations characteristics (cost attribute, relative advantage, compatibility, complexity and perceived risk) that will affect the assessment and implementation of solar PV system. The feasibility of implementing the solar PV system is also evaluated. A mix-method of both quantitative and qualitative approaches are used in this in-depth study. The findings indicate a significant relationship between innovation characteristics towards assessing and implementation of such solar PV system. The study reveals that cost, relative advantage, compatibility and perceived risk are significant determinants to project handling in the case firm’s solar PV system.The results of this case study evaluation demonstrate a favourable decision making justification that this case firm would have a feasible project in hand. Several recommendations were highlighted for future study, which may be of value to decision makers of diverse interests and expertise in industry, government and adopters towards the solar PV system assessment and implementation.
