Company participation in supporting national energy security through collective installation of rooftop solar panel of employees’ houses as an effort to accelerate increased utilization of solar energy

Abstract

To support the achievement of government targets in the New and Renewable Energy Program, and to play an active role in responding to global issues related to energy, environment, global warming, and energy conservation issues, large and medium-sized companies can encourage them to use renewable energy. energy through a campaign for all employees to take advantage of the solar panel system in every home, which can be integrated with the electricity grid of the State Electricity Company (PLN). The direct benefit that employees get from using a solar panel system is that it can reduce household electricity bills. The campaign was continued by realizing a collective rooftop solar panel installation program for employee rooftops with an instalment system that was not burdensome for 24 to 36 months, which was deducted from wages through the payroll system, of course taking into account the Company’s ability to fund the purchase and installation of rooftop solar panels. With this program, assuming a total capacity of 200 kWp in each company (around 100 employee houses), the maximum cost impact for the company is around Rp. 3.6 billion. If this program can be implemented simultaneously by all large and medium-sized companies in Indonesia, the potential for achieving solar energy use in 7 months could reach 6.72 GWp. Meanwhile, the Indonesian government is targeting the use of solar energy for the national energy mix in 2025 at 6.5 GW. With the participation of companies and supporting them, it is one way to achieve the target of using solar energy in Indonesia, which is 6.5 GW by 2025.
