The fact that there are still many people who use primary energy such as oil and coal. A brilliant idea emerged from the Student Community Service (PMM) team of the University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) lecturer partners to design a Solar Power Plant (PLTS) last August.
Damas Yudha Muzakki, one of the team members, said that most mosques in Indonesia still depend on electricity from PLN. Likewise, with the Mosque and the Aisyiyah Quran Education Park (TPQ) building and a child care center at that location. Damas explained, the PLTS is capable of producing 800 watts of electrical power. This amount is considered capable of supplying electricity needs for electronic devices in the three buildings.
Meanwhile, during the handover ceremony, Sugiyanto as the chairman of the takmir of the K.H. Ahmad Dahlan thanked UMM students who had installed the PLTS. With this innovation, the mosque can save on electricity bills each month. Even more, they installed automatic Smart Breakers and CCTV as a form of prevention if a crime occurs.
"We hope that in the future, this kind of alternative energy can better support the energy needs in Indonesia," he concluded.
Damas is not alone in formulating his ideas and dedication. He was accompanied by Ahmad Nawawi, Yuslih Ariawan, Firmansyah, and Amir Ma'sum. On another occasion, Novendra Setyawan, S.T., M.T. as the supervising lecturer, hopes that this PLTS innovation can motivate the wider community, especially the Karangploso area. (*/haq/wil)
