As we enter the 21st century, concerns over dwindling oil and gas reserves have become more pronounced. With energy demand on the rise, particularly in developed nations, projections indicate a 70% increase between 2000 and 2030. By the year 2017, global electricity demand is expected to reach 25.4 trillion kWh. Solar energy emerges as a promising solution, especially in regions like Indonesia, where the entire mainland covers roughly 2 million km2 and receives an average daily radiation distribution of 4.8 kWh/m2. This translates to a solar energy potential of 5.10 mW, equivalent to 112,000 GWp. Technically speaking, solar panels have shown an efficiency improvement of 17.4%. When considering components and the quality absorbed by solar power plants (PLTS) synchronized by KWH EXIM, calculations reveal a performance ratio of 81%, confirming the technical feasibility of implementing such systems
