Implementation of Appropriate Technology Polycrystalline Photovoltaic as New Renewable Alternative Energy in Public Street Lighting (PJU) at Pakuniran Probolinggo Area

Abstract

Public road lighting (PJU) in the Pakuniran area, Probolinggo, East Java, more precisely in Gondosuli Village, is not sufficient. An environment without street lighting will be like a dead zone and can occur in many cases of crime, and traffic accidents and will hurt social life at night. Therefore, the community service team at the State University of Malang (UM) through student service provided a solution to reaching the road by utilizing new, renewable energy from polycrystalline solar panels to turn on the lights at night. The results of observations and site surveys show that several points require PJU installation with polycrystalline technology. The implementation carried out in Gondosuli Village was carried out in several stages, namely: observation, preparation of PJU designs, training and maintenance, performance testing, and evaluation tools. This activity, which was completed within 2 months, resulted in 5 PJUs being placed at several points with minimal lighting conditions and received a positive response from the community.

An Application of Photovoltaic Appropriate Technology as Garden Lighting at Tourist Area of Gangga Murmas Tree House North Lombok District

“…There are several related studies on the application of photovoltaic lighting as conducted by (Azhari et al, 2023) photovoltaic is used for Public Street Lighting (PJU) in the Pakuniran agricultural area. Then (Dermawan et al, 2020) designed street lighting in Semarang which focuses on increasing the intensity of public street light.…”

“…The lack of lighting in Gangga Murmas Treehouse Park has an impact on the lack of tourist interest in entering the tour. Lack of lighting also affects the security risk of tourists (Azhari et al, 2023;Saputra, Ramadhan, & Muharom, 2022;Winardi, Nugroho, & Dolphina, 2019) Therefore, the manager of the Gangga Murmas Tree House tourist spot conveyed the importance of garden lights including:…”
