Solar Power Plants (PLTS) are a renewable energy solution that is very relevant in Indonesia, especially in areas with high solar radiation intensity such as Sulawesi. This study evaluates the PLTS system in Andau Village by highlighting the efficiency of solar panels which is influenced by temperature and intensity of solar radiation. Based on data, the average daily radiation in the region ranges from 3.8 to 6.7 kWh/m², making Sulawesi a strategic location for PLTS development. Solar cells, or photovoltaics, are devices that can directly convert sunlight energy into electricity. As the main component, solar cells have an important role in utilizing the enormous potential of solar energy that reaches the earth's surface. Apart from producing electricity, solar energy can also be optimized to produce heat energy through a solar thermal system.
