DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF PKBM AMARI NAME BOARDS USING IOT-BASED SOLAR PANEL TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
This community engagement program aims to develop and implement an IoT-based solar-powered signage system at PKBM Amari, an educational institution in West Jakarta, Indonesia. The main objective of this program is to improve the visibility of the institution's signage, especially at night, by implementing an autonomous lighting system that also serves as an educational resource. The approach includes initial field observations, system design using solar modules integrated with IoT components, on-site prototyping, and training workshops for students and staff. The result is a fully functional nameplate that illuminates autonomously using collected solar energy and facilitates real-time condition monitoring through IoT technology. Knowledge transfer sessions were held to promote sustainability and empower the community. This project addresses functional infrastructure issues while enhancing local technology literacy and encouraging the adoption of renewable energy. It offers a replicable framework for similar institutions with limited access to grid electricity.
