Energy and Climate Change
UIN Jakarta Green Campus Initiative
Amid growing awareness of the importance of sustainable energy, solar panels have become an increasingly popular solution to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and cut greenhouse gas emissions. By harnessing the sun's abundant energy, solar panels can generate clean electricity that can be used for a variety of purposes, including household lighting, operating electronic equipment, and even charging electric vehicles.
One of the latest innovations in solar panel technology is integration with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. By installing solar panels on rooftops or parking lots, electric vehicle owners can easily charge their cars without having to rely on the public power grid. This not only reduces charging costs, but also reduces exhaust emissions produced by fossil fuel vehicles.
In addition, solar panels can also be combined with automated lighting systems for parks and other public areas. Light sensors built into the garden lights will automatically turn the lights on and off based on the ambient light level. This not only saves energy, but also increases safety and comfort for park users.
