| Summary: | Nowadays, the transition from conventional agriculture to modernization requires a touch of technology, one of which is the Electrifying Agriculture program. Farmers are switching to electricity-based agricultural tools and machinery from previously using fossil fuel machines, which are expensive and damaging to the environment. However, the vast agricultural area will generally experience electricity network constraints due to the distance between the location and settlements. Making an independent power network will incur very large costs, especially the purchase of very long cables. In addition, if each land makes an electricity network, it will pose its own danger from a non-standard and bad installation. Focused on Gunungkidul, located in West Nitikan, and Pragak village, Semanu, the solution to the problems is how to use solar power to provide power sources in secluded farming areas. The result was that in each hut was installed a solar-powered electrical installation with a power of 350 Wh in the form of a DC power source. For nighttime electrical energy reserves, it is backed up with a battery equivalent to 240 Wh. The installation is equipped with a 300-watt inverter to convert the DC power source to AC so that it can be used for appropriate equipment.
