Blora, 2024 – In an effort to support the utilization of renewable energy and improve access to clean water for the community, a service team from the Vocational School of Diponegoro University (UNDIP) has planned the installation of a 3 kW on-grid solar panel system for a water pump in Botoreco Village, Blora Regency.
This initiative has received full support from the Dean of the Vocational School at UNDIP and involves several lecturers, managers, and educational staff (tendik) from the Vocational School who are participating in its implementation. The solar panels will be used to supply electricity to the water pump, which is essential for the villagers to meet their clean water needs.
The initial step taken by the service team was a site survey to determine the optimal location for installing the solar panels and to assess environmental conditions that could affect system performance. This survey is a critical part of the planning process to ensure the system operates efficiently and effectively.
In addition to benefiting the community by meeting their clean water needs, this project is also expected to serve as a model for the implementation of environmentally friendly renewable energy and raise awareness about the importance of sustainable energy use.
Moving forward, the community service team from the UNDIP Vocational School will continue with the technical planning, equipment procurement, and system installation phases to ensure the success of this project. This activity is also expected to strengthen the synergy between higher education institutions and the community in developing technologies that benefit daily life.

Students from the Industrial Electrical Engineering program at the School of Vocational Studies, Universitas Diponegoro (UNDIP), as part of their TIM II Community Service (KKN), successfully installed solar-powered lighting at the Farmers’ Hall in Pakumbulan Village, Buaran Sub-district, Pekalongan Regency. This initiative was aimed at addressing the lack of adequate lighting in the village’s rice fields, a result of suboptimal public street lighting distribution.
The installation took place at strategically chosen locations, determined through prior site surveys. This program involved not only the KKN students but also the Gotong Royong II Farmers’ Group and the local community in both the installation process and a subsequent information session. The students provided education on the installation and maintenance of solar panel lights, with the hope that the community will be able to independently utilize and care for this technology.
Mr. Sulaiman, the head of the Gotong Royong II Farmers’ Group, expressed his gratitude and appreciation for the initiative. “We hope the villagers will understand the benefits of using these solar panels,” he said.
The positive response from the Pakumbulan Village community highlights the program’s significance and necessity. It is expected to improve the community’s well-being while promoting the use of environmentally friendly renewable energy. UNDIP KKN students hope that with the implementation of this solar-powered lighting, Pakumbulan Village can serve as a model for other villages in adopting renewable energy technologies.

On Thursday, August 1, 2024, students from Team II of the Community Service Program (KKN) of Diponegoro University (UNDIP), Vocational School, Industrial Electrical Engineering Program, conducted a safety education session on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) focusing on electrical hazards for 4th, 5th, and 6th-grade students at Pakumbulan Elementary School, Buaran District, Pekalongan Regency. The program aimed to raise children’s awareness of the risks associated with electricity in their environment, especially in play areas near electrical installations in Pakumbulan Village.
The session included presentations, educational videos, and the distribution of OHS posters on electrical hazards. Additionally, the students held practical demonstrations of series and parallel electrical circuits, giving the elementary students hands-on experience with basic electrical concepts. The program was well-received, with students actively participating in the activities and enthusiastically engaging in the simulations.
Mr. Yudha Nugroho, a teacher at Pakumbulan Elementary School, expressed his appreciation for the initiative. “The KKN program at SDN Pakumbulan has provided valuable knowledge to the students,” he said.
The positive responses from both students and teachers highlight the importance of such initiatives in reducing the risk of electrical accidents. The UNDIP Community Service students hope that through this program, the elementary students of Pakumbulan will have a better understanding of workplace safety and become more conscious of their surroundings, especially regarding electrical hazards.
