The Community Service (PKM) Team from Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia once again conducted an educational outreach program entitled “Assembling an Automatic Solar-Powered Fan as an Implementation of Renewable Energy.” This activity was held at SMAN 15 Bandar Lampung as a tangible contribution of the university in introducing environmentally friendly technology to students at an early stage.
The program was designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the utilization of solar energy as a clean and sustainable alternative energy source. In addition to theoretical explanations, participants were directly involved in hands-on assembly activities, enabling them to understand how such technology can be applied in everyday life.
The materials delivered during the activity included:
- Basic concepts of solar energy and its benefits as a renewable energy source.
- The principle of converting sunlight into electrical energy using solar panels.
- Introduction to key components such as batteries, solar charge controllers, control systems, and fan motors.
- The step-by-step assembly process of an automatic solar-powered fan.
- Testing procedures and performance evaluation of the assembled device.
The activity was conducted through interactive presentations, open discussions, and hands-on practice sessions. Participants were guided systematically, starting from understanding the circuit design, installing the components, to integrating the automation system so that the fan could operate efficiently using solar energy.
The program received positive responses from students, who demonstrated strong enthusiasm during both practical sessions and discussions. It is expected that this activity will broaden students’ knowledge, enhance their technical skills, and encourage greater awareness of sustainable and environmentally friendly technology.
Through this PKM program, the PKM Team of Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia reaffirmed its commitment to supporting practice-based education and strengthening collaboration between universities and schools in shaping an innovative and environmentally conscious generation.
