<span>The purpose of this research is to design and implementation Maximum Solar Power Tracking system using photovoltaic panel, in order to increase solar panel efficiency and power. Data collection is done for the condition in Semarang city. The result of the research is expected to be base in planning of solar power system in Semarang city, whether it is for lighting lamp planning and for Solar Home System (SHS). This MPPT system design uses standard 180 degree servo motor to drive photovoltaic panel and control circuit using ATmega IC, while simulation using MATLAB program. Tracking is done by online tracking method by moving the photovoltaic panel to the radiation of the sun. Tracking simulation is done with step 20, 50 and 180 step. The average of voltage generated by system without tracking is 3.97 Volt while the average voltage generated by tracking system is 4.72 Volt. Efficiency between system without tracking and tracking system is 66.28% for tracking system and 78.78% for tracking system</span>

Hydro-Electricity and Solar Power are environmentally friendly renewable sources of energy that utilize the potential energy from dammed water and the sun respectively to generate electricity. In this paper is reported a new design and implementation of combining solar and hydro-electric power. The turbine and gearbox system used in this design is fabricated from scarp parts of used appliances. The hydro head of the Pico-Hydro plant commissioned was 5m which accumulated a hydraulic potency of the stream of about 5.886kW. The prime mover of the generator consisted of a modified crossflow turbine that is coupled with a gearbox to amplify the rpm of the system. A 500W synchronous generator was driven by the prime mover to generate raw phase shifted AC power. This raw power was rectified with a 25 A full wave rectifier and used in conjunction with 12 V 400 AH deep cycle battery bank system to supply power to a newly furnished double storey house. The generator output through the full wave rectifier is connected to a load controller for optimal charge efficiency. The load controller is connected to the battery bank through a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The PLC activates a dummy resistive hot water element when the battery bank is fully charged. The Arduino GSM module monitors the entire process and automatically sends notification via a SIM interface to the system administrator notifying the system administrator of the on/off state of the heating element.
