Evaluation of Hybrid System for Domestic Power Generation by Harvesting of Rainwater

Annually, Malaysia receives a large amount of rainfall. As a result, a large amount of water is literally going down the drain. Rainwater, if harvested and taken full advantage of, could be a highly sustainable source of renewable energy. Rainwater is an energy source inherent with potential due to...

As a result, a large amount of water is literally going down the drain. Rainwater, if harvested and taken full advantage of, could be a highly sustainable source of renewable energy. Rainwater is an energy source inherent with potential due to the abundance of its availability and widespread accessibility.
