Abstract
he utilization of solar energy as a power source has been widely used in Indonesia. This condition is strongly related to the potential of the sun in Indonesia, which is available throughout the year. Solar-based Public Street Lighting (PJUTS) is one application of utilizing solar energy for street lighting. The use of PJUTS is very appropriate because converting solar energy into electrical energy is still low. Sulur is one of the areas in Kulon Progo Regency with abundant solar energy potential. Meanwhile, street lighting conditions in this region are very low and need an addition of public street lighting. In this study, the ability of solar panels and lamp consumption at PJUTS is compared to analyze the technology sustainability. Observations are made by recording the power absorbed by solar panels using a controller and Solar Station software. The observations found that the solar panels can capture an average solar capacity of 150.73 Wh, while the use of lights at night consumes about 120 Wh. From this observation, the solar energy source in Sulur is enough to fulfill the public road lighting requirement.
