Pemanfaatan Pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya (PLTS) atap menjadi salah satu alternatif dalam mendukung penyediaan energi listrik yang berkelanjutan di lingkungan kampus. Universitas Syiah Kuala memiliki potensi luas atap yang dapat dimanfaatkan untuk pemasangan PLTS, namun kajian mengenai potensi teknisnya masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji potensi teknis PLTS atap di Kampus Universitas Syiah Kuala Darussalam berdasarkan luas atap efektif, kapasitas terpasang, produksi energi listrik, parameter kinerja sistem, serta kesesuaiannya terhadap konsumsi energi listrik kampus. Pengukuran luas atap dilakukan menggunakan OpenSolar, sedangkan simulasi sistem PLTS on-grid tanpa baterai dilakukan menggunakan PVsyst. Parameter yang dianalisis meliputi kapasitas terpasang, produksi energi listrik, specific production, performance ratio, capacity factor, dan rugi-rugi sistem. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa luas atap efektif yang berpotensi dimanfaatkan mencapai 48.916 m² dengan kapasitas terpasang sebesar 10,096 MWp. Hasil simulasi menghasilkan produksi energi sebesar 14.409,67 MWh/tahun, specific production sebesar 1.432,6 kWh/kWp/tahun, performance ratio sebesar 82,63%, dan capacity factor sebesar 16,29%. Dibandingkan dengan konsumsi energi listrik Universitas Syiah Kuala tahun 2024 sebesar 12.110 MWh/tahun, sistem PLTS yang dirancang mampu memenuhi sekitar 118,98% kebutuhan energi listrik kampus dengan potensi surplus energi sekitar 2.299 MWh/tahun. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Universitas Syiah Kuala memiliki potensi teknis yang sangat baik untuk pengembangan PLTS atap sebagai upaya mendukung pemanfaatan energi terbarukan di lingkungan kampus.

The utilization of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems has become one of the alternatives for supporting sustainable electricity supply in campus environments. Universitas Syiah Kuala has a considerable rooftop area that can potentially be utilized for PV installation; however, studies on its technical potential remain limited. This study aims to assess the technical potential of a rooftop PV system at the Universitas Syiah Kuala Darussalam Campus based on effective rooftop area, installed capacity, electricity generation, system performance parameters, and its potential in relation to the campus electricity consumption. Rooftop area measurements were conducted using OpenSolar, while the simulation of an on-grid PV system without battery storage was performed using PVsyst. The analyzed parameters included installed capacity, electricity generation, specific production, performance ratio, capacity factor, and system losses. The results showed that the effective rooftop area with potential for PV utilization reached 48,916 m², with an installed capacity of 10.096 MWp. The simulation resulted in annual energy production of 14,409.67 MWh/year, a specific production of 1,432.6 kWh/kWp/year, a performance ratio of 82.63%, and a capacity factor of 16.29%. Compared with the Universitas Syiah Kuala electricity consumption in 2024 of 12,110 MWh/year, the designed PV system has the potential to generate energy equivalent to approximately 118.98% of the campus electricity consumption, with a potential energy surplus of approximately 2,299 MWh/year. These results indicate that Universitas Syiah Kuala has significant technical potential for rooftop PV development as an effort to support the utilization of renewable energy on campus.
