Water is the main need for every living creature, including humans. However, sometimes the springs are located under residential areas. To lift water to residential areas, large amounts of electrical energy are needed to drive water pumps. Apart from the very large electrical energy sources required, the price of water pumps is very expensive, it is necessary to develop alternative energy sources. An alternative energy source that has enormous potential in Indonesia is solar energy. Every year the sun releases 745 thousand trillion kWh of solar energy reaching the earth. In connection with the above, dedication was carried out regarding the design of the solar water pump. In the design of the solar water pump, a DC water pump is used with a solar power source using 3 solar panel modules. Through the Mitra Village Service SKIM, LPPM UNMUS 2024 Program, this service will examine the performance of the solar water pump, namely the maximum power produced by the solar panels, the water flow that can be lifted by the pump and the duration of operation in a day. The results of service activities in the form of technology that has been installed in partner plantations in Waninggap Nanggo Village, this technology is able to save on plantation operations, especially water pump electricity costs, by using solar power sources. Based on the analysis, electricity costs have been saved by 30%, thereby increasing partner income.

Kue lapis merupakan jajanan tradisional Indonesia yang memiliki tekstur kenyal dan rasa manis, umumnya terbuat dari tepung beras dan tepung sagu. Namun, untuk mengurangi ketergantungan pada tepung beras serta meningkatkan nilai gizi produk pangan, penelitian ini mengembangkan inovasi kue lapis dengan kombinasi kacang hijau dan jagung manis. Kacang hijau sebagai sumber protein nabati dan jagung manis yang kaya akan karbohidrat dan vitamin dipilih untuk memberikan manfaat gizi yang lebih tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menciptakan kue lapis yang tidak hanya enak tetapi juga bergizi, dengan memanfaatkan bahan pangan lokal yang memiliki nilai gizi tinggi. Metode pembuatan kue lapis ini melibatkan pencampuran tepung beras, tepung tapioka, santan, serta bahan tambahan berupa kacang hijau dan jagung manis yang telah diproses. Proses pembuatan dilakukan secara bertahap, dengan pengukusan setiap lapisan secara bergantian untuk memastikan tekstur yang kenyal dan matang sempurna. Hasilnya, kue lapis ini memiliki tekstur yang lembut dan kenyal dengan rasa manis alami dari jagung dan kacang hijau, serta kandungan gizi yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kue lapis tradisional. Kacang hijau dan jagung manis memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap kandungan protein, serat, serta vitamin dan mineral yang bermanfaat bagi kesehatan. Inovasi ini tidak hanya menawarkan alternatif pangan yang lebih sehat, tetapi juga dapat mendorong konsumsi pangan lokal yang bernilai gizi tinggi. Selain itu, produk ini memiliki potensi untuk dipasarkan sebagai jajanan pasar yang mendukung keberlanjutan petani lokal. Kombinasi kacang hijau dan jagung manis dapat menjadi pilihan yang lebih bergizi dan memenuhi kebutuhan gizi masyarakat, serta berpotensi untuk dikembangkan lebih lanjut dalam industri pangan tradisional.
