Abstract

The need for electrical energy tends to increase along with population growth and economic growth. Based on the 2018-2027 RUPTL, the annual growth in electricity demand increased by 6.86%. Even this growth projection is still lower than the 2008-2027 RKUN projection with an average growth of 10.1%. The limited availability of fossil energy to provide energy fulfillment in the future is a problem that needs attention. Utilization of solar energy through solar cells as an alternative power plant is a solution, but to be able to utilize solar energy as a fulfillment of energy needs, education is needed for the community, so that people can optimally use it. Moreover, when viewed from the age composition of the dominant population from the age of 15-64 years or by 63.3 percent. The rest are aged 0-14 years and 65 years. On this basis, this training is aimed at youth, especially youth organizations. So that in order to educate the public in order to increase community competence about the use of solar energy as a power plant, the background for this Community Service activity is as a contribution to environmental care.
The methods used in the training on the installation of Solar Cells as alternative power plants are used as many as 4 methods, namely the lecture method, demonstration / demonstration method, discussion / question and answer method, and practical / psychomotor skills method. Based on the results of the training, there was an increase in the knowledge and skills of the participants by 25% from the previous average value of 59.3 to 74. When viewed from the average increase in the percentage gain score of 56.1%, it can be concluded that the training on installing Solar Cells as an alternative power plant is quite effective.
