Abstract

Because the cost of installing solar power plants is relatively large, careful planning and design is needed, including the calculation of load needs and the determination of capacity and placement of solar power plants so that the system can work effectively and efficiently. This research aims to determine the capacity of solar power plants to supply the existing load economically in the Medan State Polytechnic building based on the availability of existing land. The data obtained was processed using HOMER software to simulate the optimal capacity of solar PV. Furthermore, an economic analysis was carried out. The results of the study show that solar power plants are one of the alternative solutions to support energy efficiency while supporting the campus's commitment to the application of new and renewable energy
