PLN Encourages People To Develop Solar Energy

Yogyakarta (Antara Bali) - State-owned electricity company (PLN) has encouraged the Indonesian people to develop the use of solar energy independently to meet the needs of electric power by utilizing solar panels.  

 "The people can become electricity producers or simply by installing rooftop solar panels on the roof of their houses," a Renewable Energy Division staff of PLN Heru Sri Widodo said in a seminar at the Atma Jaya university here on Tuesday.

According to him, installing rooftop solar panels will be able to reduce the dependence on the supply of electrical energy to the electrical grid, so it is appropriate to be used in offices and housing.

The utilization of solar energy is also able to reduce the use of fuel oil (BBM) and reduce the impact of CO2 emissions. (WDY)
