  Utilization of new renewable energy is a solution to meet the increasing electricity demand, one of which is solar power generation technology. Solar panels are a renewable power generator that is environmentally friendly. The relatively low and unstable output voltage of PV is affected by solar irradiation, which becomes a constraint. Therefore, by utilizing a boost converter, the solar panel system is able to work 25% more optimally compared to without using a boost converter. The performance of solar panels when using a boost converter is around 83.3% and without using it, the performance is only about 58.3%. The average output power when using the boost converter is 1,521 W, whereas without using the boost converter, the average output power is 1,172 W. This indicates that the output power is more stable when using the boost converter compared to not using it. This research focuses on a boost converter with PID control as a support, optimizer, and voltage stabilizer where the output power on the solar panel is expected to be more optimal and the output from the solar panel is more stable with more optimal results in various conditions. In this study, 12 solar panels of 125 WP with a capacity of 1.5 KW are used in series-parallel to obtain the required power. If the output from the solar panel is insufficient due to weather conditions, the voltage will be increased by the boost converter towards the inverter so that the voltage remains stable into the inverter with the boost converter. This boost converter uses PID control to keep the output voltage stable.  

Pembangkitan energi harus dapat direncanakan dan disesuaikan. Rencana produksi ditentukan berdasarkan prediksi kebutuhan energi masa depan dan ketersediaan energi baru dan terbarukan. Sistem Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya dan Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Angin adalah Pembangkit Energi Baru Terbarukan dengan sistem tenaga mandiri, yang memiliki kondisi sumber daya terbaik, dan memiliki prospek aplikasi yang baik. Sehingga perlu adanya penelitian yang mendalam tentang peramalan potensi energi tersebut. Pendekatan penelitian adalah melakukan peramalan potensi energi pembangkit listrik tenaga surya (PLTS) dan pembangkit listrik tenaga angin (PLTB) dengan menggunakan model Jaringan Syaraf Tiruan (JST) Multi Layer Perceptrons (MLP). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peramalan potensi energi PLTS dan PLTB Jawa Tengah tahun 2025, PLTS 0,0093% konsumsi energi di Jawa Tengah dan PLTB 0,407% konsumsi energi di Jawa Tengah.

In Pekalongan, precisely in the village of Soko Kembang, Petungkriyono sub-district, as many as 31 units of PLTS were made. This PLTS works stand alone, with the SHS system. Each SHS unit consists of a 50 Wp solar panel, three light points, a 70Ah battery, and a Box Control Unit. Based on preliminary field studies, the use of SHS is very useful and helps the community at night especially students and mothers who have small children and helping residents of Soko Kembang village, a remote village that had previously relied on lighting from oil lamps and rental generators. The use of solar power plants has an impact on the economic life of the community, which is assessed from an increase in the people's economy. This is evidenced by the high payback.
