Solar Power for Water & Weather Monitoring: WSI Supports Renewable Energy

The demand for reliable electricity to support environmental monitoring systems is increasing, especially in remote areas without access to the national grid. Solar Power Plants (PLTS) offer the ideal solution, providing clean, sustainable, and stable energy for monitoring devices.

As part of its commitment to sustainable infrastructure, PT Wiratama Sistem Integrasi (WSI) has implemented solar-powered monitoring solutions. A notable project was carried out at the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR) Sulawesi III, where Ground Water Level Telemetry and Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) were successfully powered by solar energy.

Why Solar Power for Telemetry?

Monitoring devices such as groundwater level sensors and weather stations require a continuous 24/7 power supply. Since many installations are in remote areas, PLTS provides a reliable alternative with these benefits:

• 🌱 Eco-Friendly – Reduces carbon footprint and supports green energy initiatives.
• 🔋 Energy Independence – Operates without dependence on external power.
• ⚡ Cost Efficiency – Cuts operational costs in the long term.
• 🌍 Regulatory Alignment – Supports government policy on renewable energy adoption.

Implementation at PUPR Sulawesi III

In Sulawesi III, WSI installed Ground Water Level Telemetry to monitor groundwater levels in real-time. This data is critical for water resource planning in areas prone to drought and flooding.

Additionally, Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) were deployed to capture key weather parameters such as rainfall, humidity, temperature, and wind direction. Powered by solar energy, both systems operate seamlessly even in regions with limited electricity infrastructure.

Integration with SCADA

Another advantage of WSI’s solution is integration with SCADA systems. Through SCADA, data from Ground Water Level Telemetry and AWS is centralized, visualized in digital dashboards, and analyzed to support fast and informed decision-making.

This ensures that stakeholders can access up-to-date information on groundwater and weather conditions at any time.

Long-Term Impact

The use of PLTS in monitoring systems delivers more than just technical reliability:

• Strengthens national energy resilience.
• Improves environmental monitoring reliability.
• Serves as a real-world example of sustainable infrastructure in public projects.
• Provides opportunities for replication across utilities, industries, and academia.

Through the implementation of solar-powered telemetry systems at PUPR Sulawesi III, WSI has demonstrated its commitment to delivering monitoring solutions that are efficient, sustainable, and eco-friendly. This initiative proves that renewable energy can be the backbone of future digital infrastructure.
