During my Bachelor thesis, I assessed and presented the economic benefits of biogas utilization in a rural community to the company’s CSR executives. My Master thesis is to model a cost effective grid connected residential solar PV system. During my research, I got a broad understanding of how stakeholders, incentives and government policies affect solar industry market trends.
