Unpad installs 4,640 Wp solar system for SMKN 2 Fakfak
The schools and Puskesmas Bomberay can cut reliance on generators and lower fuel and electricity costs.
The Patriot Expedition Team from Universitas Padjadjaran installed a 4,640 Wp solar power system at SMK Negeri 2 Fakfak, Papua Barat, to support teaching and student workshops that had relied on diesel generators. The system includes a 6,000-watt hybrid inverter and a 16,000 Wh energy storage battery, and can be monitored through a mobile device. Beyond the school, TEP Unpad 2026 also handed over solar systems for the Advent Church in Kampung Warisa Mulya, Puskesmas Bomberay, and a communal well in Kampung Thessa. SMK Negeri 2 Fakfak teacher Muh Nashir said the system has made student practical work easier, while Puskesmas Bomberay chief Abdul Aziz said the more stable electricity supply helps health services while reducing operating costs.
