<![CDATA[Abstrak: Desa Rindu Hati memiliki indeks GHI (Global Horizontal Irradiation) sebesar 4,54 KWh/m2 yang cukup potensial menerapkan pembangkit listrik tenaga surya (PLTS). Permasalahan yang sering dialami masyarakat desa yaitu saat terjadi mati lampu menyebabkan aktivitas masyarakat terganggu pada malam hari serta tidak adanya lampu emergency yang dapat menerangi jalan jika pemadaman listriknya cukup lama. Sehingga, perlu upaya untuk memecahkan permasalahan tersebut dengan memanfaatkan potensi desa yang memiliki kelimpahan sumber cahaya matahari dengan cara mengubah cahaya matahari menjadi energi listrik. Pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian berbasis IPTEKS ini dilakukan pada kelompok masyarakat sadar wisata (Pokdarwis) Desa Rindu Hati, Kabupaten Bengkulu Tengah, Provinsi Bengkulu. Kegiatan ini dilakukan melalui beberapa tahapan antara lain survey lokasi, studi literatur, pelaksanaan sosialisasi dan evaluasi (analisis kuisioner). Hasil post-test yang disebar kepada masyarakat memperlihatkan bahwa hampir 100% masyarakat memiliki minat yang tinggi dan ingin mengaplikasikan perancangan PLTS skala rumah sederhana dilingkungan mereka. Abstract: Rindu Hati Village has a GHI (Global Horizontal Irradiation) index of 4.54 KWh/m2 which is quite potential to implement solar power generation. Problems that are often experienced by the community when there is a blackout cause people's activities to be disrupted at night and there are no emergency lights that can illuminate the road if the power outage is long enough. Thus, efforts are needed to solve these problems by utilizing the potential of villages that have an abundance of sunlight sources by converting sunlight into electrical energy. The implementation of this science and technology-based service activity was carried out at the pokdarwis of Rindu Hati village, Central Bengkulu Regency, Bengkulu Province. Early activities are carried out through several stages, including site surveys, literature studies, implementation of socialization and evaluation (questionnaire analysis). The results of the post-test that were distributed to the community showed that almost 100% of the people had a high interest and wanted to apply the design of a simple house-scale solar power generation in their environment. ]]>
