Abstract

Countries located on the equator have relatively high intensity of solar radiation. The thing that is most needed in a solar power plant is the intensity of solar radiation. Based on this, Indonesia is very suitable for the application of solar power plants. The power generated by a solar power plant is directly proportional to the intensity of the solar radiation received by solar panels. To maximize the intensity of solar radiation received by solar panels, it is necessary to design the azimuth and tilt directions of installing solar panels on the roof of a building. This study discusses the influence of the azimuth direction and the tilt of the installation of solar panels on the intensity of solar radiation received in a building on the campus environment. The method used to obtain the most optimal energy production is to use a combination of azimuth direction and solar panel tilt. Daily sunshine data is simulated via HelioScope. The findings indicated that the best energy generation results were achieved by blending an azimuth angle of 20o with a tilt angle of 30o. In this combination of angles, an energy production of 28.9 kWp is obtained.
