How does the government consider environmental friendly? (Is LED or solar used or not? etc.) Is the number enough for safety?

Solar Panels?

2021-10-30 01:55:31 UTC

Is it possible to change one of Indonesia's energy source into Solar Panels? Since it charges not directly to the house but to a battery that could be saved up (cmiiw)

Currently mainly are focused to be implemented at remote area that are unable to reach the grid electricity.

The challenge is the technology because it has not been mature yet. The second challenge is trees, it's one of the obstructions in installing the solar powered public street lighting. Not many LED company that can be able to convert the LED to solar powered lighting.

Sumba Iconic Island

This is a reference for one of Indonesia's program to implement Solar Panels (and other renewable energy) at a rural area.

Maybe some of you are interested! since the material is very interesting

WID (Weather Information Display)

rizkasafira20 — 2021-10-30 02:18:37 UTC

WID(s) are located in the coastal areas and used to help fisherman knowing and understanding the weather before going to the sea. Also, it is using the solar cell since the coastal are doesn't have good electricity.

Balance between demand and supply

mf21009 — 2021-10-30 02:24:29 UTC

Renewable energy like solar energy is highly dependent on weather condition.

Information System of Public Street Lighting

rizkasafira20 — 2021-10-30 02:48:59 UTC

Is there any integrated information system of the public street lighting maintenance to handling the quality of the lighting? For example, there's an integrated database contain the battery used, where the lighting is located according to the surrounding environment, the number of well-lightened or bad-lightened, so when the government/related council want to do a quality check it'll be easier to reach the most urgent one

Implemention of Solar Pannel

2021-10-30 03:50:32 UTC

Solar panel has low conversion rate ( 25-30% ) and it requires a large areas to implement the solar pannel, and for the cost yes it will be way cheaper than using the coal but its need high initial cost at first, do you think its still possible and worth it? -ITS

Wind Turbin that can be put on top of the building

2021-10-30 04:06:06 UTC

Utilizing the height of the building to collect energy, but the downside is that this wind turbine will cause noise and vibrations that can interfere with activities in the building and the surrounding environment. To solve this problem, there has been found a product called powerWINDOWS, by using this panel the direction of rotation is different, the wind will produce less noise and less vibration, the panel also reduces stress on the supporting structure and provide electricity for the whole building.

Japan and Indonesia Improvement

2021-10-30 04:08:55 UTC

Both country is currently trying to move away from their bad energy sources:
1. Japan: Nuclear Power
2. Indonesia: Fossil Fuel

To using a more Environmentally Friendly Energy, i.e. Solar Panels or Cells
