JAKARTA - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) through the Directorate General of New Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (Ditjen EBTKE) reported that it had installed Solar Street Lighting (PJUTS) at 21,112 points throughout Indonesia until the end of 2023.

The Director General of New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (EBTKE) of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Eniya Listiani Dewi, revealed that with this realization, the installation of PJUTS has reached 67.9 percent of the target set at 31,075 units.

"So from the Rp473.79 billion ceiling, Rp344.64 billion has been realized. The PJUTS specifications mentioned in 2023 consist of components of the solar module, battery, solar charge controller, LED lights, PJU poles, and the following are battery boxes," said Eniya in a Hearing Meeting with Commission VII DPR RI, Monday, March 25.

Eniya added, based on the prognosis of the Directorate General of EBTKE until March 30, 2023, 22,785 PJUTS will be installed or reach 73.3 percent of the target.

Furthermore, Eniya said, regarding the installation of PJUTS, there have been five contract packages that have been signed for 31,075 PJUTS units. As many as 26,765 points have been surveyed and 28,178 angkur sets have been sent.

Eniya also explained that the solar module used for PJUTS is Mono or Polycrystalline Silicon with a minimum power of 300 MWp per module and a minimum efficiency of 16 percent and has a TKDN certificate and a 20 year budget. Meanwhile, the type of battery used is Lithium Iron Phosphate type and has a minimum capacity of 30 Ah.

Then the Diesel Charge Controller used with the control algorithm MPPT/PWM with a protection index of 65, the maximum battery DOD 80 percent and has a 3-year warranty.

For LED lights that are used with a maximum power of 45 Watts, a minimum light lumination of 5200 Lumens, a minimum efficacy of 130 Lumens per Watt, TKDN certified, and a 3-year budget.
