Abstract

This research examines the optimization of solar panel system for charging electric vehicles (EVs) at home in Malaysia, addressing the growing need for renewable energy alternatives. The study highlights four primary influencing factors: ownership of electric vehicles, electric trading, charging variables, and battery storage. A quantitative method was employed, surveying 384 participants using structured questionnaires. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and methods of multiple regression. The findings validated the importance of all four factors, with battery storage and charging variables exerting the greatest influence. These results highlight the necessity for effective energy storage and carefully planned charging systems to enhance solar energy use. The study recommended to promote solar panel usage for EVs charging, focus on improvements in battery storage, financial assistance to address cost challenges, and methods to boost the cost- efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) systems.
