Solar Power Plant Design Using Automatic Transfer Switch on PLN-PLTS Network

Solar power plants are conventional generators, solar power is often in demand by the public in general, but the use of solar power plants experiences several problems, such as batteries that are easily damaged. This is because the use of the battery exceeds the depth of discharge. This study designed a PLTS using an Automatic Transfer Switch with a solar panel capacity of 20 Wp using a quantitative method. The results of this study in the first test the light intensity income at 10.00 was 28803 lux with a maximum power of 9.22 Watt and a charging power of 7.02 Watt, then at 11.00 the light intensity increased by 54733 lux followed by a power of 8.80 Watt with a charging power of 7.15 Watts. So the conclusion of this study is that the greater the intensity of the light produced, the higher the output power.
