<![CDATA[Increased industrial activity in South Cikarang has limited the availability of agricultural land, encouraging the adoption of controlled environment agriculture systems. This study describes the design and implementation of a smart hydroponic greenhouse that is fully supported by a 600 Wp solar photovoltaic (PV) system and controlled using an industrial-grade programmable logic controller (PLC). This system automatically regulates temperature and humidity through exhaust fans and sprayers based on real-time sensor feedback. Experimental results show that when the internal temperature exceeds 31 °C, the control system recovers to 29.7 °C within 15 minutes and maintains a temperature range of 24–30 °C. Relative humidity is maintained within the optimal range of 75–90%. The PV system produces an average daily energy output of approximately 2.0 kWh, resulting in an energy self-sufficiency ratio (ESR) of 138%, which indicates excess energy production compared to system demand. These results prove that the integration of industrial automation with renewable energy provides reliable environmental control, high energy efficiency, and operational stability for hydroponic greenhouse applications in urban industrial areas.]]>
