Despite its vast potential, solar energy currently plays a minor role in Indonesia's energy mix. As of 2022, solar power accounted for less than 1% of the country's total energy capacity (MEMR, 2022). However, the government has recognized the importance of solar energy and has taken steps to encourage its development.
Traditionally, the country has relied on fossil fuels, particularly coal, oil, and natural gas, to power its economy. However, the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy security, and meet the goals outlined in the Paris Agreement has led Indonesia to explore alternative, renewable energy sources.
