Trending! Alfamidi Now Installs Rooftop Solar Power Plants in Its Midimarkets

Tangerang, Banten (22/9/24) – The trend of Rooftop PLTS is increasingly mushrooming in Indonesia, apart from the trend of Rooftop PLTS becoming a necessity in the government or private sector to save electricity bills, one example is PT Midi Utama Indonesia Tbk, a subsidiary of Alfamart which operates in the midimarket sector, has switched to new renewable energy. SEI in collaboration with PLN ICON Plus installed Rooftop PLTS in 2 Alfamidi Super locations, namely Teluknaga and Kutabumi, Tangerang, Banten. The total installed Rooftop PLTS capacity is 180 kWp (Teluknaga capacity 90.09 kWp & Kutabumi capacity 90.09 kWp).

This Alfamidi PLTS has entered the interconnection or energize stage, this stage is a requirement to obtain an Operational Certificate (SLO). After obtaining the SLO, the Rooftop PLTS can be operated. At this stage, SEI checks from Quality Control to the PLTS trial.

"In this installation process, according to the S curve, it should be completed on September 27, but we can finish it 1 month earlier, so that on August 22, we can carry out the interconnection or energize," said Nurisma, SEI Project Manager.

Alfamidi plans to increase capacity at several other points to support new renewable energy and show as an example that supermarket or minimarket outlets can be installed with Rooftop PLTS to save on electricity bills.

Don’t Ignore! These Are the Mandatory Equipment When Installing Solar Panels

Solar panel installation is a job that requires compliance with safety standards. Including when installing on a rooftop or ground mounted. This installation process involves working at heights and requires special attention to avoid the risk of accidents. To ensure safety, every worker must be equipped with adequate safety equipment. The use of appropriate equipment not only protects workers from potential hazards, but also ensures that the installation of solar panels is carried out with optimal quality.

In order to achieve these goals, here is the mandatory equipment that must be used by every worker when installing solar panels:

1. Safety Helmet

Safety Helmet is the main protection for the head when working on a solar panel installation project. This helmet must be used to protect workers from the risk of shapes, falling objects, or other hazards that may occur in the work area.

2. Safety Glasse

When installing solar panels, workers are susceptible to dust, debris or splashes of material that can hit the eyes. Therefore, eye protection is a mandatory PPE to use.

3. Safety Gloves

Safety Gloves protect workers from physical hazards such as sharp objects, heat or chemicals during the installation of solar panels. Various types of gloves are chosen according to the type of work, thick gloves are needed to protect against sharp objects, while insulating gloves must be used in work that protects against electric shock.

4. Safety Shoes

Special shoes are used to protect the feet from sharp objects that can fall during the installation process. The use can help prevent foot injuries and ensure comfort during work, protecting the feet from sharp objects, slipping, and electric currents.

5. Wearpack 

Protective clothing designed to protect the entire body from mechanical risks. The form is a jumpsuit (overalls) designed for worker comfort and mobility. Equipped with pockets so that it is easy to carry important tools or equipment while working.

The use of complete and standard PPE is very important to keep workers safe during the installation of solar panels. Starting from helmets, gloves, to protective shoes.

By complying with safety protocols, the risk of accidents can be minimized and project productivity maintained. Occupational safety must always be the top priority in every stage of the project, for the success and welfare of all workers. Because Safety Is SEI Priority!
