Background The escalating global population, surpassing seven billion in 2012, amplifies the strain on existing resources for food, housing, and conventional energy. Addressing these challenges requires the development of economically and environmentally viable renewable energy technologies. Photovoltaic (PV) solar modules stand out for their eco-friendly operation and reliability. In off-grid communities, stand-alone PV systems, coupled with battery storage, play a pivotal role in meeting electrical energy needs. Methods This study enhances the understanding of stand-alone PV systems through modeling and simulation using MATLAB software. A multi-crystalline PV system, specifically the Kyocera KC130GT, is investigated under varying conditions, and a pulse width modulation (PWM) controller is employed for battery charging. Results The study reveals profound effects on energy production based on the I-V and P-V characteristics of the modeled system when a PWM controller is utilized. The system demonstrates successful energy generation under different conditions, accounting for temperature variations and PV battery voltage mismatches. Conclusion The simulated model serves as a versatile system capable of detecting different conditions in varying light and temperature scenarios. Effective temperature monitoring, voltage adjustment using a suitable charger controller, and the selection of optimal materials for solar modules can significantly enhance the system’s efficiency. The results emphasize the importance of careful consideration of PV system sizing corresponding to battery capacity for improved solar system efficiency. While the cost of the modeled stand-alone PV system is currently low, scalability to larger projects may incur increased costs due to the high prices of photovoltaic panels, batteries, and other components.

Objective: Solar Power Plants (SPP) operated by companies or organizations are expected to positively impact the company's performance. It can support the commitment to implementing environmentally friendly manufacturing practices to sustain the environment for living beings. Theoretical Framework: This study aims to analyze the techno-economic feasibility of implementing the photovoltaic (PV) system so the results can serve as a reference for companies planning to operate PV systems. Method: The ARIMA and degradation rate analysis methods measure the feasibility of a 188.46 kW installed PV system over its 1–30-year lifecycle. This includes measuring the estimated electricity produced, Return on Investment (ROI), Payback Period (PBP), and the reduction in Carbon Emissions based on the electricity production of the PV system. Results and Discussion: The techno-economic analysis estimated an electricity output of 5,117,149 kWh over 30 years, with an ROI of 80.6%, equivalent to Rp 132,233,883 million per year, a PBP of 15 years, and a carbon emission reduction of 152 tCO2eq per year. The study concludes that investing in a self-operated PV system can meet 19% of the company's total electricity consumption, reducing reliance on fossil fuel-based electricity sources. Additionally, the company can manage costs of approximately Rp 14,429,005 per month from operational electricity consumption. Research Implications: The implications of this research, providing additional insights for the development of new renewable energy. Value: PV systems can positively impact the environment by significantly reducing carbon emissions, accounting for around 19% of monthly electricity consumption.
