The utilization of Solar Power Plants (PLTS) is one of the environmentally friendly and sustainable renewable energy solutions. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using PLTS as an alternative energy source in the Makhtab Building Park area of Panca Budi Campus. The PLTS system used consists of solar panels, a solar tracking system, and a battery charging system equipped with overcharge protection. Testing was conducted under two conditions: with the solar panel in motion and stationary as well as during the battery charging process. The test results show that solar panels with a tracking system can generate higher voltage and current compared to static panels, particularly during productive hours between 08:00–13:00. Additionally, the battery charging system functions optimally, with stable voltage increases and automatic cut-off by the relay when the maximum voltage is reached. Therefore, the implementation of PLTS on campus not only supports energy efficiency but also serves as a tangible step in supporting green campus initiatives and reducing carbon emissions.
