Abstract
Kelapan Island is one of the outermost islands in the Bangka Belitung Islands. With a total of 30 households consisting of 120 people, electricity needs are currently from diesel generators. Electrical equipment is dominant on Island of Kelapan such as lights, televisions, fans, irons also several units of refrigerators and washing machines. For reduce the use of fossil energy, electrical energy sources are modeled for supply using photovoltaic. The average amount of electricity needed per house is 290.9 kW, so the amount of power required for 4 hours at night is 34.908 kWh. Photovoltaic will be modeled in 2 stages, centralized photovoltaic and photovoltaic in each residents house. The photovoltaic modeling installed in each residential home requires four units of 100 Wp solar panels, six units of 100 Ah batteries, 1 unit of 400- watt inverters and four units of solar charger controller. Whereas for the centralized photovoltaic model requires 97 units of 100 Wp solar panels, 160 units of 100 Ah batteries, 25 units of 400-watt inverters and 108 units of solar charger controllers
