Abstract

Indonesia’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gases by 29 % by transforming into uses of renewable energy 23 % in 2025 has been written on Paris Agreement 2015. The increasing growth rate of energy demand each year becomes a new problem for Indonesia, if Indonesia is still dependent on fossil energy. The energy demand in Indonesia in 2020 is 268 TWh and it is estimated that it will be 364 TWh in 2025. Indonesia is located on the equator and has very large solar potential. Data from National Energy Council (DEN) shows that solar power potential in Indonesia is 207.9 GW, while the current installed in Indonesia has only reached 100 MW or 0.05% of the total. The need for early awareness becomes a priority to support the creation of awareness of the importance of renewable energy. This study was conducted to assess the potential of solar power on SMP N 3 Purwodadi. The study uses PVSyst 7.1 software with variation of photovoltaic panels ranging from 1040 wp to 1350 wp to get annual generated electric power. Results of this study showed that installation of solar power on SMPN 3 Purwodadi generated electrical power from 1516 kWh to 2205 kWh.
