Easy-Easy-Difficult, Here Are Tips for Maintaining Rooftop Solar Power Plants That You Need to Know
Who here has installed a rooftop solar panel at home? For those of you who have installed it, don't forget to maintain the solar panels so that their performance remains optimal. How to do it?
Maintaining a rooftop solar panel can be said to be easy and difficult. Basically, the solar panel system is stationary or does not move. So, not many types of maintenance are needed. This also makes the potential for physical damage relatively minimal. However, solar panels still require regular maintenance, either weekly, monthly, or semi-annually. To maintain solar panels, you can do the following tips.
The key is to make sure the solar panels stay clean. The surface area of the solar panel is the most important part. Make sure the surface area of the solar panel is not covered by dust, bird droppings, or dry leaves that have the potential to block exposure to sunlight.
Clean with running water
Basically, tilted solar panels can clean themselves when exposed to heavy rain. However, if the dust has started to thicken, especially due to a long dry season, you can clean it with running water and a soft cloth. The water used should also be clean water. If you want to use soap, mix the soap solution with water first. Avoid pouring soap directly onto the panel because the chemicals contained are feared to leave marks and be difficult to clean.
Use Gentle Cleaning Tools
Using a hard brush is not good for solar panels. Therefore, use a cleaning tool such as a mop or chamois to avoid scratches on the glass layer that can affect the effectiveness of sunlight absorption.
Do Cleaning in the Morning or Evening
During the day, the PLTS system is working optimally. If the weather is hot, the solar panels are in a hot condition. When cleaning is done during the day, this can interfere with the effectiveness of electricity production and can also make you hot. Do the cleaning in the morning or evening when the weather is relatively cooler.
Pay Attention to Other Components
Not only the surface of the panel, other PLTS components also need your attention. Make sure the cables near the panel remain in their proper place. Do not cover the solar panels either. Also, clean the PLTS inverter from dust to avoid dirt that can reduce the performance of the PLTS system.
Conduct Periodic Solar Power Plant Monitoring
Installing a monitoring system for your rooftop solar power plant can make it easier for you to find out the performance of your solar power plant. By knowing the track record such as the energy produced for each certain period of time, you can analyze if there is a decrease in performance or other problems.
This monitoring or checking can be done by yourself with a previously created checklist form. If you find it difficult, you can also ask for professional services to perform maintenance on the rooftop solar power plant in your home. SEI through its LenSOLAR service product provides maintenance services for rooftop solar power plants in homes with the best service and affordable prices. For more information regarding solar power plant maintenance services, contact the contact person listed on the website www.suryaenergi.com ! Now, you know how to maintain your rooftop solar power plant in your home, right? Still easy, right? Let's use rooftop solar power plants and continue to support the use of new renewable energy around us!

One of them, SEI provides 16 Solar Module Panels along with rails, and Gani Arta Dwitunggal provides a floating system for placing solar power modules.
This research has a big goal to utilize solar energy which has great potential in Indonesia. The increasing development in land areas into settlements or industries, the utilization of water areas with the Floating PLTS system can be a solution for utilizing new renewable energy. The performance analysis of this research is about energy balance, a study of the characteristics of photovoltaic modules which include efficiency, physical conditions of temperature and visual conditions, characteristics of water conditions that will later be covered by photovoltaic modules, physical conditions of floaters (color, strength, and durability), and ambient temperature.
It is hoped that this research will be a joint project that produces a discovery of science and technology that can be implemented for the utilization of maximum and environmentally friendly energy resources. In addition, all processes of this research can be an experience for all parties to continue energy conservation in the same field in the future.

Rooftop Solar Power Plant Development in Household and Industrial Sectors Still Needs to be Developed
The use of Rooftop Solar Power Plants (PLTS) is currently familiar to the public regarding its usefulness in providing electricity savings. The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources explained that the potential for Rooftop PLTS that can still be developed in Indonesia reaches 32.5 gigawatts (GW). The household sector takes the most potential, namely 19.8 GW, followed by the business sector 5.9 GW, the industrial sector 1.9 GW, and the government sector 0.3 GW.
Director of Various Renewable Energy at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Andriah Feby Misna said that the use of roofs as a place for PLTS is a solution for the construction of PLTS which usually takes up quite a large area of land. With the existence of Rooftop PLTS so far, Andriah hopes that the cost of procuring PLTS land can be reduced, in line with the government program for the implementation of Rooftop PLTS which is targeted to reach 3.61 GW by 2025.
On the other hand, in the industrial sector, the use of Rooftop PLTS will increase the competitiveness of industry in Indonesia. Moreover, the European Union plans to implement a carbon limit adjustment mechanism that will impact Indonesia's exports to the European Union.
In a separate meeting, Director of INDEF (Institute for Development of Economic and Finance) Beryl Martawadaya said that for renewable energy, the government must look at it comprehensively, one of which is from the perspective of the economic impact on Indonesia.
As of April 2022, registered Rooftop Solar Power users throughout Indonesia still reached 5,547 customers with a capacity of 0.06 GW, dominated by the household sector. In terms of location, West Java dominates as the highest Rooftop Solar Power customers, followed by Jakarta, Central Java, and Yogyakarta.
Rooftop Solar Power components include solar modules, inverters, customer electricity connections, security systems, and export-import kWh meters. The purpose and benefits of Rooftop Solar Power are as a solution to save customers' electricity bills, get electricity supplies from clean energy, namely New Renewable Energy, and at the same time contribute to reducing the effects of greenhouse gas emissions.
To realize the development of Rooftop Solar Power in both the household and industrial sectors, the government must synergize with all parties involved. Starting from solar energy development companies, industry, manufacturing, to consumers. The government must establish policies that support and benefit all parties in order to achieve common good goals.
