Indonesia: Village Development Program through the Construction of Solar Panel Systems on Jemare Island

PT Panasonic Industrial Devices Batam (PIDSG-BT) collaborated with the Mechanical Engineering Student Association of Batam State Polytechnic, which is part of the Village Development Program, to construct a solar panel system used for public street lighting and water distribution on Jemare Island. In addition to assisting the electricity and water sanitation needs of the community, through this initiative, PIDSG-BT also aided in the student learning process by allowing the Mechanical Engineering Student Association of Batam State Polytechnic to assemble the solar panel system themselves.

To execute this Village Development Program, PIDSG-BT provided financial assistance for the construction of the solar panel system, with the following details:

・10 units of solar panels for public street lighting
・1 unit of solar panel for water pump sanitation.

On December 16, 2023, the PIDSG-BT team and the Batam State Polytechnic team conducted a joint visit for the handover of the installed solar panels on Jemare Island to the residents. By participating in this program, PIDSG-BT has helped the residents of Jemare Island obtain sufficient street lighting at night and a good clean water sanitation system for the residents of Jemare Island.
