Rancang Bangun Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya Solar Home System

Abstract

New and renewable energy sources in the future will increasingly have a very important role in meeting energy needs.  So to get a more efficient source of electricity and utilize solar energy as new renewable energy, it is necessary to design solar power plants Solar home System (SHS). The methodology in this design is to create and test tools based on needs with SHS power of 50 Wp. Manufacturing begins from the design and assembly followed by testing with variable changes in light intensity. Data collection from this design as much as 4 times with the best results of 44.27 Watts with a voltage of 14.5 Volts and Current 3.26 Ampere when the weather is clear with a measured light intensity of 1,293 lumens.The energy sources used by SHS are obtained for free and are available in large quantities. Changes in light intensity are greater in effect on the value of the current produced than changes in the resulting voltage value
