Abstract

Countries along the equator receive a relatively high level of solar radiation, which is crucial for solar power plants. In this context, Indonesia is well-suited for the implementation of solar power plants. The amount of power generated by a solar power plant is directly related to the intensity of solar radiation that reaches the solar panels. To maximize electricity production, it is essential to design the optimal tilt angle for the solar panel units to be installed on the roof of Rusunawa Putra. This study explores the impact of the solar panel installation’s tilt design on the power output of a building within a campus setting. The research method involves testing a combination of tilt angles—20°, 30°, and 40°—to determine the most efficient energy production. Daily sunlight data is simulated using PvSyst software. The findings indicate that the most efficient energy production occurs when the solar panels are tilted at a 20° angle relative to the horizontal roof plane. Additionally, connecting more modules in series increases the total voltage, while connecting more modules in parallel enhances the total current.
