Abstract

Utilization of solar energy as solar photovoltaic plant in the engineering as a source of electrical energy to produce no pollution, air pollution and pollution on the surrounding environment. The basic ingredients of photovoltaics is solar cell. The use of solar cell on a vessel can be used as energy in a variety of electrical equipment on the ship, due to the relative abundance of Sun energy and never run out because the Sun bathes the territory Indonesia 10-12 hours a day. In this case the solar cell used to meet the needs of the mechanical cooling equipment on board the ferry that sails around the region of Indonesia. Expected usage of this solar energy can reduce the use of fossil fuels oil and can save on operational costs. In this paper will show the usage of solar cell in the ship for lighting equipment. All the needs of electrical power in supply from batteries being replenished by solar panels. Solar power become one of alternative energy to overcome the presence of the energy crisis especially a reduction in the availability of petroleum and the more expensive world oil prices. Major problems focused on design of electric system as power plant resources in the ship. We will see the calculation for solar cell system design for power lighting in the ship could be saving almost 52.5% by 52.5 % of the generator burden.
