Integrating Solar Power System and Smart Home: Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Increase a Review Article

Abstract

The combination of solar energy systems and smart home technologies offers great potential to improve energy efficiency and support sustainable development. It is urgently needed, particularly in Indonesia, where increasing electricity demand presents both challenges and opportunities. This literature review examines how the integration of these technologies can contribute to reducing energy consumption, promoting sustainable lifestyles, and meeting Indonesia's renewable energy targets. Some key components of integration, namely energy management, automation, and system interoperability, were explored in this review. In addition, the review also highlights the benefits, including financial savings, increased energy autonomy, and reduced carbon emissions. It is believed that implementing solar energy systems and smart home technologies will help change into cleaner energy while improving household energy security.
