Utilization of Solar Energy Using Solar Panels on Roof

The use of solar energy through solar panels has become one of the most effective solutions to address the increasing demand for electricity and rising energy costs. Solar panels are an eco-friendly energy source that utilizes sunlight to generate clean and renewable electricity.

This technology is becoming increasingly popular in Indonesia—a tropical country that receives sunlight almost all year round. With proper capacity adjustment, roof size, and installation techniques, Solar Power Generation Systems (PLTS) can be used for both residential and industrial purposes.

What is a Solar Power Generation System (PLTS)?

PLTS is a system that converts sunlight into electrical energy using photovoltaic technology. The generated electricity is stored in batteries and then used to operate various electronic devices as needed.

The core of this system is the solar panel, which converts sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. When sunlight hits the surface of the panel, electrons in the solar cells move and generate an electric current. This energy is then distributed and stored for later use—even at night.

How Do Solar Panels Work?

Simply put, solar panels work by absorbing sunlight and storing it in batteries. The stored energy is then used to power household appliances at night or during cloudy weather.

With this system, you can continue to enjoy electricity without fully depending on the PLN grid. Solar panels also work automatically—the energy from the battery is used when sunlight is not available.

Benefits of Using Solar Panels

1. Save on Electricity Bills
   Using solar panels can reduce your electricity costs by up to 40%, and even allow you to meet your own electricity needs.
2. Environmentally Friendly
   Solar energy is a renewable energy source that produces no pollution or carbon emissions. By using it, you help protect the environment.
3. Ideal for Indonesia’s Climate
   As a tropical country with abundant sunlight, Indonesia is highly suitable for solar energy implementation in various regions.

Components and Installation Framework of Solar Panels

1. Location
   Ensure that solar panels are installed in an area that receives maximum sunlight exposure—usually on rooftops or open spaces without tall building obstructions.
2. Components
   Use high-quality components from trusted suppliers to ensure safety and system efficiency. Installation errors or low-quality materials can lead to electrical risks or reduce system performance.

Installation Requirements for Rooftop Solar Panels

One common challenge in solar panel installation is overly permanent systems, which are difficult to move or expand later. However, there are now more flexible solutions.
