Abstract :
Most solar panel is only designed for fixed position. The generated energy of 40 watt peak solar panel in fixed position is 9,367 Wh. However, by using solar tracker, the energy would eventually rise up to 57% or 14,735 Wh. As another option, we found that 40 watt peak solar panel tilt adjustment by three different positions at certain period of time would raise the energy up to 10% per day or 10,3 Wh. These both systems give greater amount of energy to be generated compared to fixed position and also give more
income by energy trading (export-import) to PLN, as the state-owned electricity company. Since we know that tilt adjustment generates more diurnal energy, this paper deals with the comparison between these three systems, both energy and projected income, and also classified the effective tilting plan for each systems. We would have the conclusion that three positions system is good to be installed (especially in Indonesia) for solar power plant of 1 MW capacity or more, because it is profitable and feasible
and also could absorb the unemployed workers; solar tracking is suitable for remote areas and region with overpriced workers; and fixed position for housing stand-alone system.
