Assembling an Automatic Solar Panel Fan as an Implementation of Renewable Energy at MAN 1 Metro
COMMUNITY SERVICE PROGRAM (PKM)Electrical Engineering Study Program – Universitas Teknokrat Indonesiaat MAN 1 Metro On the day of the activity, the Electrical Engineering Study Program of Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia conducted a Community Service Program (PKM) at MAN 1 Metro under the theme “Assembling an Automatic Solar Panel Fan as an Implementation of Renewable Energy.” This activity represents a concrete implementation of the university’s tridharma (three pillars of higher education), particularly in the aspect of community service. It also reflects a collaborative effort between higher education institutions and secondary schools to enhance students’ competencies in electrical technology and renewable energy. The PKM aimed to provide both theoretical understanding and practical skills regarding the utilization of solar energy as an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative energy source. During the activity, students received materials covering: The implementation method included interactive lectures, discussions, and hands-on practice sessions. Participants were guided step-by-step in assembling the circuit, starting from installing the solar panel, connecting the energy storage system, to integrating an automatic control system that enables the fan to operate efficiently using sunlight as the primary energy source. The participants demonstrated strong enthusiasm through active involvement in practical sessions and question-and-answer discussions. This activity not only enriched their theoretical knowledge but also enhanced their technical skills and creativity in designing renewable energy–based systems. Through this PKM activity, it is expected that: The Electrical Engineering Study Program of Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia remains committed to contributing to the advancement of science and technology through impactful community service activities that benefit the education sector and the wider community.
