The development of environmental knowledge and the use of solar energy using environmental responsibility behavior in Central Java

Abstract

Energy has an essential meaning in life to continue to develop and support economic and environmental activities. Every year energy in Indonesia increases rapidly in line with human growth. To supply energy needs, renewable energy sources must be developed. Renewable energy potentials such as solar energy have never been used on a large scale even though Indonesia has enormous energy potential. Solar energy can be used in the form of solar cells for electricity generation. The utilization of solar cells can help people who live in remote areas far from the electricity network. This research was conducted in Central Java by using descriptive qualitative methods and using research and development (R&D) methods. The technique used is an expressive qualitative analysis technique. The result solution implemented is to meet the increasing electrical energy needs of the community. This research produces renewable energy that can be used as a solution to solving the electrical energy crisis at an affordable cost and can increase the independence of the community so that it does not depend on government electricity supply and improve environmental responsibility behavior.
