Optimization and Feasibility Analysis of Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power Generation System Design

The increasing global electricity demand, propelled by population growth and economic progress, presents a pressing challenge. Magelang Regency has witnessed a consistent rise in its population, resulting in a corresponding surge in the demand for electric energy. In response, this study delves into the sustainable development endeavors of Magelang Regency, with the goal of achieving accessible, reliable, and sustainable energy for its populace. Focused on designing and assessing the viability of rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems, this research centers on the Dinas Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan (Disdikbud) Kabupaten Magelang, a significant consumer of electricity. Data processing employed the PVSyst software, exploring four distinct design configurations. Notably, the findings reveal that a hybrid configuration employing a Central Inverter showcases optimal performance, yielding the highest annual energy production and solar fraction. These outcomes underscore the potential of rooftop solar PV systems in diminishing energy dependency, curbing costs, and aligning with sustainable development objectives. This study offers valuable insights into the pivotal role of embracing renewable energy sources to address escalating energy needs and environmental imperatives.
