THE UTILIZATION OF 900 WP OFF-GRID SOLAR POWER PLANT FOR PRODUCT INTENSIFICATION OF A HYDROPONICS FARMER GROUP

In collaboration with a group of hydroponics farmers, an activity as part community service implementation has been carried out in Pasuruan, Eastern Java. The aims to develop 900 Wp solar power plant capable providing energy for running the essential electrical devices system uninterrupted. This idea is resolve issue when outage occurs. Moreover, reliance on public grid also adds additional expense electricity bill. Based observation, reliably provides sufficient turn different devices. It can supply 12 hours without charging activate, total, 160 Watt diverse loads all night long. While during day, panels deliver batteries recharging and other loads. Some facilities are developed this activity, including UV plastic roof addition grow lights promote plants’ growth acceleration. efficiently reduces sunlight intensity lower heat experienced by plants, transmits specific wavelengths crucial growth, prevents rainwater from entering nutrient water tank. Meanwhile, stimulate faster quickly recover plants after receiving much that causes them look wilt. As result, farmers now less reliant grid, more weather-resistant.
