The need for electrical energy in the household-scale agricultural sector is increasing, especially to support irrigation systems and simple agricultural technologies. This research and community service activity aims to implement and evaluate the use of solar panel technology as an independent energy source for small farmers. The system designed uses 100 WP monocrystalline solar panels, a 12V 3.5 Ah dry battery, and a 12V DC water pump as the main components. The results of implementation show that the solar panel system is able to provide stable energy for operating a water pump with a power of 22 watts and a flow capacity of 800 L/hour. Monitoring indicates that the charging voltage remains within a safe range (12.9V) and can optimally support the growth of hydroponic plants such as pakchoi. Although there are several technical challenges such as the potential for short circuits and the lack of protective systems, these issues can be addressed through safe installation design and technical education for users. In conclusion, solar panels have great potential to realize energy independence in household-scale agriculture, especially in rural areas, if supported with appropriate financing schemes and training.
