Abstract

Solar Power Plants can be a solution for future electricity needs in increasing Indonesia’s environmentally friendly economy. It can save electricity costs more significantly than fossil energy sources such as coal. It is a profitable investment as Solar Power Plant is proven more environmentally friendly for not causing much pollution. It even helps increase electrical energy capacity. It is very strategic in supporting the direction of leading industrial cluster development in the Sulawesi region, particularly in helping overcome the electricity crisis in Gorontalo City. The Gorontalo City Government must continue to make various efforts to be energy independent in building investment in Gorontalo City. The research sample was the trial results of Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring instruments for measuring temperature and humidity. The results of observations on the testing of the instruments illustrated that the difference graph at high humidity with hot air conditions indicated the production of electrical energy on the solar panels. Another condition was the humidity due to weather factors was high. It was covered by clouds above the instruments set up on the building of Universitas Ichsan Gorontalo. The measurement results proved that the roof of the building of Universitas Ichsan Gorontalo is a potential area for the rooftop construction of the Solar Power Plant. Its building roof is uniquely curved with varying slopes. No other buildings share the same large area for an evenly distributed temperature around Universitas Ichsan Gorontalo in Gorontalo city.
