“…As a result of these aforementioned policies, there has been a substantial growth in the solar energy sector on a global scale over the past decade. According to a source (Oderinwale & McInnes, 2022), the global cumulative solar PV installation witnessed a 31-fold increase in capacity by the conclusion of 2018 in comparison to the figures recorded in 2008. According to projections, the total worldwide capacity for photovoltaic installations is expected to reach approximately 1296 GW by the conclusion of 2023.…”

The utilisation of renewable energies has emerged as a pressing environmental imperative, particularly in view of the elevated levels of pollution and amplified global warming resulting from the consumption of vast quantities of fossil fuels for energy generation. The field of research has contributed to the reduction of expenses associated with the acquisition of renewable energy, thereby positioning it as a formidable contender against conventional energy sources. Although several developed nations have made significant progress in integrating renewable energy sources into their energy portfolio, developing countries still face challenges in this regard, despite the accessibility of such energy sources. The present investigation employed a hybrid multi-criteria approach that integrates the GREY-TOPSIS method to identify the optimal location for the establishment of a solar farm. A total of twelve criteria were utilised to evaluate and contrast the suggested locations. The GREY method was employed for the purpose of extracting criteria weights. A comparative analysis was conducted on six potential locations within the Libyan territory, considering a set of twelve established criteria. It is noteworthy that Libya's energy generation is predominantly reliant on non-renewable sources. According to the findings, the criteria of average solar radiation and sunshine hours hold the highest significance with a weightage of 0.9. As per the model, Misrata emerged as the highest-ranking city with a weightage of 0.53, while Benghazi, situated in the western region of the country, secured the second position with a value of 0.47. The methodology and evaluation criteria utilised in this study have the potential to be implemented in other urban areas, thereby facilitating the pursuit of sustainable development.

“…Pemerintah dari seluruh dunia mulai memperhatikan rencana aksi dekarbonisasi sistem tenaga listrik melalui energi terbarukan. Komisi Eropa merencanakan target untuk pembangkit listrik berbasis energi terbarukan setidaknya 32% dari total kebutuhan energi Uni Eropa [2]. Usaha dilakukan dalam hal produksi energi listrik yang bersumber pada energi alternatif [3].…”

Energi matahari salah satu sumber energi yang dapat dikonversikan menjadi energi listrik melalui photovoltaic cell. Salah satu tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui performa modul photovoltaic cell ketika menggunakan pendingin fan dan heat sinks. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan modul photovoltaic cell dan perangkat perangkat microcontroller menggunakan Arduino untuk menjalankan program sensor suhu dan daya listrik. Parameter yang diukur dalam pelitian ini meliputi suhu photovoltaic cell, tegangan, arus, dan daya yang dihasilkan photovoltaic cell. Pengujian dilakukan pada modul photovoltaic cell tanpa pendingin, photovoltaic dengan pendingin fan, dan photovoltaic dengan pendingin heat sinks. Pengujian dilakukan langsung di luar ruangan dan terkena sinar matahari langsung. Dari hasil pengujian ditunjukkan modul photovoltaic cell dengan menggunakan pendingin menghasilkan daya lebih tinggi dibandingkan modul photovoltaic cell tanpa pendingin. Daya tertinggi yang dicapai photovoltaic cell dengan pendingin fan.
