Abstract

The development of solar power plants (PLTS) has become a key focus in the global transition toward clean and sustainable energy, including in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the technological advancements in PLTS over the past decade, with an emphasis on solar panel efficiency, emerging technologies such as perovskite solar cells, and the challenges of implementing these systems within Indonesia’s geographic and socio-economic context. The methodology includes a systematic review of scientific articles from academic databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and ResearchGate, using inclusion criteria of peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025. The review reveals improvements in solar cell efficiency from first-generation technologies to perovskite innovations, alongside emerging trends in hybrid systems and the integration of PLTS with smart grids to enhance energy distribution reliability. The findings also highlight key barriers to PLTS implementation in Indonesia, including high initial investment costs, soiling losses, and limited infrastructure. This study recommends future research to focus on the development of high-efficiency systems, integrated energy storage solutions, climate-adaptive technology design for tropical environments, and the formulation of supportive policies to expand PLTS adoption in household, industrial, and remote area sectors

Abstract

The development of composite materials has become one of the efforts to improve energy efficiency, driven by increasing environmental concerns and the depletion of fossil and mineral resources. These issues have encouraged researchers across various countries to seek accurate and effective solutions, particularly in reducing the use of metallic materials in a sustainable manner. Research on natural fiber composites presents significant potential as an alternative sustainable material; however, technical challenges, economic value, and real-world application must be overcome in order to compete with conventional materials. Efforts to develop more environmentally friendly fiber processing methods are essential to maintain environmental stability during production and usage. Improving mechanical properties through variations and combinations of fibers and matrices tailored to specific functions or mechanical needs is also critical. Based on the research and analyses conducted, composite materials demonstrate good durability and mechanical strength using various components such as carbon or aramid fibers, combined with different types of matrices like polyester resin, epoxy, binders, and polypropylene. Each type of matrix significantly influences the resulting mechanical strength. With the continuous advancement of research, natural fibers offer great potential due to their abundant availability and eco-friendliness compared to carbon or aramid fibers, even though their mechanical strength is not yet on par
