  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.  

Solar Power Plant is a photovoltaic system to convert electromagnetic energy from sunlight into electrical energy. This solar power plant is one of the recommended solutions for fulfilling electricity needs in remote rural areas where the PLN electricity network does not enter and has abundant sunlight and fuel is difficult to obtain. Based on data from the Global Solar Atlas, Lembung Mangrove Ecotourism, Galis, Pamekasan Regency has a sunlight potential of 4,603 kWh/m² per day. Therefore, it is unfortunate if this potential is not optimally utilised to build an off-grid solar power plant. The purpose of the research is to assess the feasibility of installing PLTS in Lembung Mangrove Ecotourism in terms of technical, economic, and investment feasibility analysis. From the research results, to meet the electricity demand of 15,055 kWh, it needs 12 200 Wp PV modules assembled in 6 series 2 parallel, 8 12V 200Ah batteries with 4 series 2 parallel, and 1 3 kW hybrid inverter are needed. From the simulation results, the estimated energy that can be produced is 35 kWh with a performance of the system is 61.42%. In terms of investment, the initial capital required is Rp89,954,000 so that the NPV value is obtained at Rp1,725,979, PI is 1.01, and PBP is estimated to fall in year 22 month 11.

The newest renewable energy source in the world and one of the most reasonably priced is solar energy. Because solar energy has so many benefits all year round, it can be a cost-effective energy source when used, especially since it is so abundant globally. to produce electricity by converting sun energy. The equator-based nation of Indonesia boasts an abundance of solar energy resources, with an average daily solar radiation intensity of about 4.8 kwh/m2. However, there is an abundance of solar-based energy sources that can be utilized. Especially in Lolo Wano Village, where the intensity of solar radiation is quite high, it is an option to develop a Solar Power Plant (PLTS) as a solution to electrical energy needs. In order to specifically identify the class of unknown object labels, classification techniques are employed since they are able to identify models that distinguish between different data classes or data ideas. In the meantime, the Naïve Bayes algorithm takes into account multiple factors that will influence a decision's final result in order to forecast future opportunities based on data that has already been collected. The information utilized comes from observations made by the LOLO WANO VILLAGE PLTS Community (PLTS). The data gathered from the satisfaction survey will be divided into two categories: training data and testing data. The testing data's accuracy will be evaluated using the output of the training data model. The classification findings demonstrate that, with the maximum level of accuracy at 87.50%, the Naïve Bayes algorithm is appropriate for gauging student satisfaction with online learning.

Based on national policy, renewable energy is a source of energy that can be renewed, such as water, geothermal, sun, biomass, wind, changes in sea temperature, biogas, biofuel and sea waves. The sun is a type of renewable energy that is used to fulfill human needs. This condition is because the sun is basically eternal or never runs out, so its use is easier than other renewable energy. PLTS is a power plant that converts sunlight energy into electrical energy, often called a solar cell. This design is intended to study the hybrid PLTS design system to reduce dependence on electrical energy from PLN. A hybrid system is a system that uses two energy sources which will then back up each other. The results of this test in the solar panel test, the highest voltage was 17.51 ​​and the highest current produced by the solar panel was 4.12, and the battery charging test for 9 hours was 51.85Ah. Weather conditions and time differences cause the light intensity received by the panel to produce varying values, voltage, current and power due to uncertain weather conditions.

. The evolution of regulations related to Rooftop Solar Power (PLTS) utilization in Indonesia reflects changes in the government's approach to solar energy usage. From the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 49 of 2018, which underwent several revisions, to the issuance of Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 2 of 2024, there has been a significant transformation in policy orientation. While initially aimed at promoting the adoption of Rooftop Solar Power at the community level, the latest regulations emphasize more on governance and the overall development of the renewable energy industry. The removal of incentives, such as the electricity export-import mechanism and adjustments in carbon economy regulations, may have negative impacts on the economy and attractiveness of Rooftop Solar Power for the public. However, these adjustments also have the potential to create a more robust ecosystem for the overall growth of the renewable energy industry. As part of efforts towards achieving national renewable energy targets, these regulatory adjustments are expected to encourage innovation in more environmentally friendly energy technologies and increase public participation in the transition towards more sustainable energy sources.

Kebutuhan listrik masyarakat semakin besar, sedangkan harga tarif listrik semakin mahal karena persediaan bahan bakar fosil semakin menipis. Sehingga diperlukan inovasi untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut salah satunya dengan PLTS.  Tujuan dari perancangan pembangkit listrik tenaga surya type solar home system dengan kapasitas 800 Wp ini adalah untuk menguji kinerja panel surya dalam memenuhi kebutuhan energi pompa. PLTS tersebut diuji dengan cara mengukur tegangan, arus, dan daya masukan maupun keluarannya selama 10 hari dari jam 09.00-15.00 WIB dengan pengambilan data dilakukan tiap 30 menit sekali. Kemudian dilakukan perhitungan untuk mengetahui efisiensi atau kinerja dari PLTS tersebut. Dilakukan juga perhitungan energi yang dihasilkan PLTS dan energi yang dibutuhkan oleh pompa secara ideal maupun secara aktualnya. Lalu membandingkan antara energi yang dihasilkan PLTS dengan energi yang dibutuhkan pompa. Dihasilkan efisiensi tertinggi sebesar 11,686993% dan efisiensi terendah sebesar 1,432691%. Hasil pengujian tegangan output panel surya rata-rata sebesar 57,13 V dan arus rata-rata sebesar 5,19 A dengan lama pengambilan data selama 6 jam dihasilkan energi sebesar 1,7790282 kWh. Secara idealnya, energi yang dibutuhkan pompa dapat terpenuhi oleh energi yang dihasilkan oleh panel surya. Secara aktual, energi yang dibutuhkan pompa belum dapat memenuhi kebutuhan energi dari pompa. Untuk memenuhinya diperlukan penambahan kapasitas dari PLTS ini.
