Abstract

This research aims to: (1)to know the influence of Research Infrastructure on the Development of Solar Power Plants (PLTS); (2) to know the influence of Research Collaboration on the Development of Solar Power Plants (PLTS); and (3) to know the influence of Research Infrastructure and Research Collaboration on the Development of Solar Power Plants (PLTS). The method in this research uses quantitative research withwith an associative explanatory research model, namely research that aims to determine the relationship between two or more variables.The subjects of the study were the community and related institutions in the Pematang Johar Village Environment, Labuhan Deli District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province, such as: the Department of Industry, the Department of Trade, Energy and Mineral Resources of the North Sumatra Province, Pertamina and the Deli Serdang Regency Government.

The data analysis method used is multiple regression analysis. The results of this study are: 1) there is an influence of research infrastructure (X1) on the development of PLTS (Y); (2) there is an influence of research collaboration (X2) on the development of PLTS (Y); (3) There is a direct and significant influence of research infrastructure (X1) and research collaboration (X2) on the development of PLTS (Y) with significant results. The development of Solar Power Plants (PLTS) in villages such as Pematang Johar, Labuhan Deli, Deli Serdang Regency requires a comprehensive approach. The availability of adequate research infrastructure and collaboration between research institutions, government, and local communities are very important in supporting innovation and implementation of PLTS that are in accordance with local needs. Village PLTS has the potential to increase access to clean energy, support economic and social development, and increase energy independence. To accelerate this development, strong support from the government is needed in the form of policies, incentives, and budget allocations. Sustainability aspects, including routine maintenance, operator training, and active community participation, must also be considered to ensure effective long-term PLTS management.
