<![CDATA[After the Covid pandemic, ecotourism is a tourism concept that prioritizes environmental sustainability and wise use of natural resources. One important aspect in ecotourism development is the use of renewable energy, such as solar panels, to meet energy needs without damaging the environment. This research aims to analyze the potential for renewable energy that can be produced by solar panels to support ecotourism development planning. This research includes collecting secondary data from relevant literature, measuring the intensity of sunlight at selected locations, as well as computer simulations to predict the energy output of solar panels. The analysis is carried out by considering factors such as weather conditions, orientation and tilt angle of the solar panels, and energy conversion efficiency. Please note: The research results show that the potential for renewable energy from solar panels in the selected locations is very significant. With optimal sunlight intensity and proper panel angle adjustment, ecotourism can produce most of its energy needs from this renewable energy source. The use of solar panels also has a positive impact in reducing carbon footprints and long-term operational costs. and the integration of solar panels in ecotourism development planning is a strategic step that can increase sustainability and energy efficiency. Recommendations from this research include wider implementation of solar panel technology, increased education about the benefits of renewable energy, as well as supporting policies from the government to encourage the adoption of green energy in the tourism sector.]]>
