PEMANFAATAN PANEL SURYA SEBAGAI SOLUSI PENGISIAN DAYA PERANGKAT MOBILE DI KALANGAN PETANI DESA TAMAN AYU
Abstract
Electricity has become a primary necessity for society in supporting daily activities, including for farmers working in agricultural fields. Communication devices such as mobile phones have become essential tools for coordination and access to information. However, limited access to electricity in farming areas often causes difficulties for farmers in charging their mobile devices. This community service activity was carried out in Desa Taman Ayu, Kecamatan Gerung, Kabupaten Lombok Barat, NTB, which is located near PLTU Jeranjang. Despite its proximity to energy infrastructure, communities in agricultural areas still experience limited direct access to electricity. Therefore, the community service team designed and implemented a simple Solar Power Plant (PLTS) system functioning as a charging station. The device was built with specifications of a 10 Wp solar panel, 12V battery, MPPT-type solar charge controller with a 5V USB port, and a lightweight steel frame with dimensions of 45 cm in height and 40 cm in width. The panel was designed to be static with a manually adjustable tilt angle according to needs. The implementation method included socialization, training, equipment installation, and trials with the community. The results showed that the device performed well in charging mobile devices, providing stable output through the USB port. The community’s response was highly positive, as the device offered a practical solution to energy problems in agricultural areas.
