Technical study of 1.2 KWP solar plant on Tanbihul Ghofilin Islamic Boarding School Banjarnegara

Abstract

The depletion of fossil energy, especially oil and gas, and international commitments in reducing emissions haves prompted the government to make renewable energy a top priority to maintain energy security and independence. One of the renewable energies that has great potential in Indonesia is solar energy. Indonesia's solar energy potential reaches 207.8 GWp. However, Indonesia's current installed capacity is only 0.085 GWp or 0.04% of the total solar energy potential in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to design and analyze the technical potential of on-grid solar plant installation at the Tanbihul Ghofilin Islamic Boarding School with a capacity of 1.2 kWp using PVsyst 7.2 software. This Solar Plant is estimated to produce 1.7 MWh of energy in one year with a Performance Ratio of 84%.
