Solar power is a renewable energy that can replace oil fuel as the main energy of the ship. The use of fuel oil can worsen the environment in the Maninjau lake tourism area. This paper aims to develop a ship propulsion design using solar power with the main size of the WL bilge Length 367.33 cm, Width (B) 170 cm, Height (H) 70 cm, Draught (T) 30.7 cm. To produce the power needed at a speed of 6 knots, using the method of theoretical analysis by counting, total energy and solar panels to convert sunlight into electrical energy. The result of calculating the total energy needed to reach 6 knots is 0.932 kW. The solar panels needed to produce the power are 4 pieces with a capacity of 100 Wp. This system does not use an inverter because it uses a DC electric motor as a vessel driver. The design of a solar-powered boat can be an option for the community as an environmentally friendly tourist ship without fuel.

Electrical energy is a very important part of human activity at this time. At present a very popular source of renewable electricity is energy (solar) through the use of solar power generation system. "Design Passive Photovoltaic 50 Wp in Renewable Energy Laboratory State Polytechnic of Malang" aims to plan and analyze the solar power generation system (PLTS), namely a capacity of 50 wp,so that it can be used as a guideline when going to design or implement PLTS on a larger scale. Based on the analysis and testing carried out, namely testing of 50 Wp passive solar panels under normal (clean) angles of 0º, 15º, 30º and shading angles of 0º, as well as the fouling angle of 0º produces the highest energy of 210.7 Wh when the condition of the solar panels is at an angle of normal 30º.

Indonesia has more than 17,000 islands and has plenty of beautiful beaches and underwater spots which have great potential for maritime tourism. Tourism was ranked 3rd on Indonesia's foreign income and plays an important role for the country’s ecomony. Despite having potential advantages, the government has not yet maximized its efforts to develop the attractiveness of its maritime tourism. Beside the beautiful spots Indonesia is also blessed with all year long sun shine, which could be tapped as renewable and green energy as substitution to fossil fuel. Refer to these great advantages of natural resources the research was aimed to support the government’s program in developing its maritime tourism and to promote the use of green and renewable energy by designing a solar-powered tourism recreational boat which has 12 meters of length. The paper is focused on the design of solar energy and its electrical system, which includes conversion of solar energy to electrical energy and store it in the battery, the required electrical power is also predicted based on the appliances and equipment installed in the boat, the optimum attachment of solar panels on the boat structure is also calculated. All the methods and information we use are obtained from literature study, discussion with experts, and surveys to Jagur as solar-powered electric boat from Universitas Indonesia.

The need for electrical energy continues to increase every time. Concerns about the depletion of fossil energy reserves encourage the acceleration of the development of renewable energy use. One of renewable energy is the solar energy. Due to the irreversible irradiation conditions, it takes controls to keep the solar panel's maximum power. The most widely in Maximum Power Point Tracking (MMPT) is Perturb Algorithm and Observe (P&O) but P&O Algorithm has deficiency of oscillations when steady state and MPP trace errors when irradiation changes rapidly. In this paper proposed P & O-Fuzzy algorithm is a modification of conventional P & O to improve the efficiency of solar panels. This research uses Matlab for simulation and hardware implementation using microcontroller Arduino Uno and buck converter topology. The result of simulation and hardware implementation, conventional P & O has an average efficiency of 85.03% while MPPT modification with P & O-Fuzzy algorithm can improve MPP tracking efficiency with 89.67%.

Solar rooftop systems in the residential sector have been rapidly increased in the term of installed capacity. There are various factors, such as climate, temperature, and solar radiation, that have effects on solar power generation efficiency. This paper presents a performance assessment of a solar system installed on the rooftop of residence in different regions of Thailand by using PSIM simulation. Solar rooftop installation comparison in different regions is carried out to evaluate the suitable location. In addition, three types of solar panels are used in research: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film. The electrical parameters of real power and energy generated from the systems are investigated and analyzed. Furthermore, the economic evaluation of different solar rooftop system sizes using the monocrystalline module is investigated by using economic indicators of discounted payback period (DPP), net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and profitability index (PI). Results show that the central region of Thailand is a suitable place for installing solar rooftop in terms of solar radiation, and the temperature has more solar power generation capacity than the other regions. The monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar panels can generate maximum power close to each other. All solar rooftop sizes with the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) scheme give the same DPP of 6.1 years, IRR of 15%, and PI of 2.57 which are better than the cases without the FiT scheme. However, a large-scale installation of solar rooftop systems can receive more electrical energy produced from the solar rooftop systems. As a result, the larger solar rooftop system sizes can achieve better economic satisfaction.

Solar energy conversion is one of the most addressed topics in the field of renewable energy. Solar radiation is usually converted into two forms of energy: thermal and electrical energy. Solar electricity has applications in many systems such as rural electricity, water pumping, and satellite communications. A solar power system consists of solar panels, dc-dc converters, controller, and load. Charging a rechargeable battery requires a regulated dc voltage. However, the voltage supplied by a solar panel can vary significantly depending upon the day, time, weather condition, and irradiation from the sun. Since solar power is unregulated, it cannot be supplied to the load directly. Solar power is harvested and stored by charging rechargeable batteries. A dc-dc converter is connected between the solar panel and the battery to charge the battery with a regulated voltage. Therefore, solar power can be properly converted and controlled to provide required electrical power to the load, and excessive power can be sent back to the electrical grid.
