System Optimization Design Of Rooftop Grid-Tied Solar Power Plant For Residential Customers In Indonesia

Abstract

Solar power generation technology has been rapidly developed. Consider the technological developments and the solar energy potency in Indonesia, the government of Indonesia tries to encourage the utilization of solar energy through the Government Regulation No.79 of 2014. One of the implementations of that regulation is by encouraging the use of rooftop solar power plant. The use of rooftop solar power plant is regulated on Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No.13 of 2019 that one of rooftop solar power plant users is a residential building. To make the residential customers more interested in using rooftop solar power plant, the customers should be able to see the feasibility of installing rooftop solar power plant according to the user's location and the benefits that will be obtained by the costumers by installing it. According to that situation, the system designed in this study is an optimization for grid-tied rooftop solar power plant that combine the condition of solar energy potential at the user's location, especially residential customers in Indonesia, with energy requirements and regulations in Indonesia, so that costumers is able to get the recommended optimal capacity of their rooftop solar power plant and the savings that will be obtained by installing it.
