Abstract
This study presents a performance and cost analysis for PV installation on certain buildings of academic institutions. The paper focuses and outlines three major discussions, the first being an energy usage analysis for selected buildings, followed by a cost analysis and carbon emissions reduction analysis. A case study is conducted using one month's energy data from the University of Johannesburg. The results of this study showed 25% reduction in energy usage cost, a 27% reduction on maximum demand cost and emissions reduction, highlighting the importance of integrating fossil-fuel powered energy sources with renewable energy sources.
