THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SOLAR POWER SYSTEM USING CAPACITY OF 1300 VA
Abstract
The renewable electricity source that can be owned and made in every electricity consumer home in Indonesia is the Solar Power Plant but research relating to the use of solar cells for household electricity is still not much. This research aims to design a solar cell system for 1300 VA household electricity needs and determine the characteristics of the quantities of electricity as well as knowing the cost savings in using PLN electricity after using solar cell electricity. This research can provide scientific studies in order to reduce dependence on PLN electricity supply. Thus, if many electricity consumers use this design system, PLN electricity providers will be able to significantly save fuel oil, gas and coal so that people will be far from the threat of electricity crisis. This research method uses the experimental method of designing and measuring to find out the characteristics of the electrical quantities so as to get a good and and appropriate design. The equipment used is solar cells, solar charge controllers, inverters, household electrical loads, electrical quantities measuring devices, temperature gauges and light intensity, battery systems and control panels. The results showed that the electric power service using a solar cell system with 8 units of 100 Ah batteries and 20 units of 100 Wp solar panels can serve electricity loads for 24 full hours continuously for weather conditions that are not more than two consecutive days in weather conditions cloudy with an average of 5166 watt-hour electricity services per day, or equivalent to 2 homes of 900 VA PLN electricity consumers. The cost that can be saved in one month is equal to the PLN electricity bill of Rp. 300,000.- measurement results starting at 6:10 a.m. to 6:50 p.m. show the intensity average of the solar radiation 52307 lux with an average temperature of 360C able serving the electrical load and charging electrical energy in batteries with an average loading for 24 hours of 232 Watt.
