The role of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) in contributing to additional renewable energy capacity in Indonesia’s energy mix is still relatively low. The technical potential of solar energy in Indonesia can reach 20 TWp, but the installed capacity in 2022-Q1 only reached 0.001% (~200 MWp) of the existing technical potential in Indonesia.

The results of this study indicate that the use of Solar PV in Indonesia has the potential to get out of the megawatt trap. Instead of being trapped in insignificant growth, the pipeline project shows that the demand for PLTS to supply energy in Indonesia is very high and has managed to reach the order of gigawatts.
