Solar energy optimization model / Nik Julianawatiafzan Nik Mahmud ... [et al.]

Community institutions such as mosques have high monthly electricity cost in line with their frequency of use and daily activities. Therefore, an energy-efficient innovation needs to be done and one of them is to optimize the use of alternative energy that is available in abundance such as solar energy. From existing literature on sustainable alternative energy, the use of solar energy can provide significant savings to the monthly cost of the mosque's electricity bill. Therefore, solar energy optimization model is proposed specifically to be applied to institutions such as mosques. The solar panel is placed on the top of the roof of the mosque, which is projected to be built flat and high, to get the optimal effect of energy absorption by the solar panel. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is also used in this model so further energy efficiency can be achieved.
