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.
