Rooftop Solar Power Plant Design on Campus Cafe

Abstract

The Indonesian government has also signed the Paris Agreement to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change on April 22, 2016. With the government's participation in the Agreement, the government has committed to developing new and renewable energy. Muhammadiyah University of Semarang is located in an area with abundant solar energy potential, but has not yet utilized this potential. This paper studies the design a potential plan for a solar power plant on one of the roofs of a building at the University of Muhammadiyah Semarang using computational simulations. Simulation using HelioScope software for design slope position of solar cell. The results show that the optimized slope position of solar cell can effectively improve electrical energy generated.

Keywords: Renewable Energy, Solar Energy, HelioScope, Slope Position of Solar Cell.
