The adoption of solar energy in urban areas continues to show positive progress. In Makassar, a commercial facility has officially adopted a solar panel system as a supplementary energy source to meet daily electricity needs. This installation represents a tangible step toward adopting cleaner, more efficient, and sustainable energy.
The project involves the installation of a solar panel system with a total capacity of 15,500 Wp (15.5 kWp). The system is designed to maximize electricity generation during daylight hours, thereby helping to reduce energy consumption from the conventional grid. With this capacity, the solar panels can make a significant contribution to the facility's operational power requirements.
The entire project was executed by a professional team from Batari Energy. Every stage—from the initial site survey to assess solar radiation potential and building structural conditions, to the calculation of power requirements—was carried out in detail. System planning was tailored to the site's specific characteristics to ensure optimal long-term solar panel performance.
During the installation phase, the solar panels were positioned with careful attention to the optimal tilt angle and orientation relative to the sun. This ensures stable and consistent energy generation throughout the day. Following installation, the system underwent testing to verify that all components were functioning according to standards and ready for operation.
The facility's management in Makassar stated that the decision to use solar energy was driven by the need for a more efficient and environmentally friendly electrical system. Beyond reducing monthly electricity costs, the use of solar panels is viewed as a long-term investment that delivers sustainable benefits.
"With this solar panel system, we hope to improve operational efficiency while contributing to the reduction of our environmental impact," said a representative of the facility's management.
With a capacity of 15,500 Wp, the solar panel system is expected to significantly reduce electricity consumption from the main grid, particularly during daytime operating hours. Utilizing solar energy also adds value in terms of sustainability and fosters a positive image as an environmentally conscious facility.
This project reaffirms Batari Energy's commitment to delivering reliable and practical renewable energy solutions. Through a planned approach and professional execution, Batari Energy continues to support various sectors in transitioning toward a cleaner and more sustainable energy system in Indonesia.
