CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF AN INTEGRATED PV CATCHMENT STORAGE SYSTEM FOR RAINWATER HARVESTING - INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENVIRONMENTAL & ENERGY ENGINEERING (IC3E 2018)
The issue of freshwater resources being continuously contaminated and polluted deemed to create water supply shortages. In urban areas where working population dominates, demands for freshwater supply increases rapidly over the years which lowers the government’s capability to supply and keeping in pace with the basic need in the near future. The RWHPV system are proposed to be located at the Faculty of Engineering Universiti Putra Malaysia PV in Serdang district which has a good rainfall collection throughout the year. The objective of this work is to feasibly identify and design a suitable rainwater catchment using PV array combinations, to calculate, design and install underground storage tanks with rainwater feasibility study and lastly to suggest the system as Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) for urban flood mitigation for public awareness and research purposes.

Abstract
The issue of freshwater resources being continuously contaminated and polluted deemed to create water supply shortages. In urban areas where working population dominates, demands for freshwater supply increases rapidly over the years which lowers the government’s capability to supply and keeping in pace with the basic need in the near future. The RWHPV system are proposed to be located at the Faculty of Engineering Universiti Putra Malaysia PV in Serdang district which has a good rainfall collection throughout the year. The objective of this work is to feasibly identify and design a suitable rainwater catchment using PV array combinations, to calculate, design and install underground storage tanks with rainwater feasibility study and lastly to suggest the system as Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) for urban flood mitigation for public awareness and research purposes.
