Maximum budget, B = RM 21000
Cost of complete PV system for a 1kW system = RM4500
Peak power of PV module at STC, Pmax STC = 200W
Nt bud Maximum affordable number of PV modules based on budget/cost (units)
PA STC PV array capacity at STC (W)
Pmax STC Peak power of PV module at STC (W)
B Sum of investment/ Total cost / Budget allocated for the system (RM)
kindex Cost index of a complete PV system (RM /W)
Example
kindex = RM4500 / 1000 W = RM4.50 /W
The budget is allowed install up to 23 units of PV modules.
