Solar Panel Implementation for Household Electricity in Indonesia: Environmental and Economic Implications

Abstract

This study explores the potential of solar energy as a sustainable alternative to coal-based electricity generation in Indonesia, aiming to address environmental concerns. It assesses the feasibility of household-level solar panel adoption for reducing electricity costs and enhancing energy self-sufficiency. Using photovoltaic technology, the research examines solar energy conversion and battery storage, focusing on optimal daylight utilization. Findings reveal substantial cost-saving prospects for households and stress the environmental benefits of decreasing reliance on conventional electricity sources. The study highlights the significance of public awareness and government support for solar panel adoption, emphasizing its role in economic stability and resource allocation to productive sectors. It advocates for empowering and educating the public about solar panel usage, which not only lowers electricity expenses but also promotes economic stability by reallocating funds to other industries, thus contributing to Indonesia's economic well-being and sustainable energy future.
