Abstract :
Solar Power Generation (SPG) is a technology that converts solar energy
into electricity, which is used directly as thermal energy through transparent
photovoltaic cells. Solar-electric technology or what is commonly called
photovoltaics (PV) converts sunlight directly into electricity. This research carried
out planning and analyzing SPG in the Aerodynamic Laboratory Building of the
Adisutjipto Aerospace Technology Institute using qualitative methods to determine
the electrical power requirements of the Aerodynamic Laboratory for 4 working
hours. Planning and analysis of SPG in the Aerodynamic Laboratory Building uses
technical calculations. The research results show that the SPG capacity required
to meet the energy needs of the Aerodynamic Laboratory Building is 100% of daily
usage for 4 working hours of 14,596 Wh. Using 20 solar panels with a capacity of
665 Wp can produce 13,305.6 Wp of power, placed on the roof of the Wiweko
Building with a slope angle of 10º facing North. SPG components include a 120 A
charger controller, 48 V 200 Ah lithium-ion battery and 18 kW hybrid inverter.
