Introduction

Utilization of solar thermal energy as a supplier of electric car batteries in indonesia. Discover how solar thermal energy powers electric car batteries in Indonesia, significantly cutting carbon emissions and fossil fuel use. Environmentally friendly EV design concept.

Abstract

Utilizing solar thermal energy as an energy source to supply electric car batteries in Indonesia is a big solution for reducing carbon gas emissions and the use of fossil fuels. This research aims to provide an alternative energy source for electric vehicle batteries and apply design concepts to electric vehicles in Indonesia. The method applied is a qualitative approach with literature analysis and literature study. The research results show that in a comparative analysis of the use of solar thermal energy in electric cars with conventional vehicles that use fossil fuels, there is a significant difference in reducing carbon emissions. The results of the analysis also strengthen the argument about the superiority of electric cars in terms of environmental friendliness so that the design concept for implementing solar thermal energy in electric vehicles in Indonesia becomes very effective to implement.

Review

This paper addresses a highly pertinent and critical issue concerning sustainable energy and transportation, particularly within the context of Indonesia's rapidly developing economy. The authors propose the utilization of solar thermal energy as a significant solution for supplying electric car batteries, aiming to mitigate carbon emissions and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The initiative to explore alternative energy sources for electric vehicles and apply relevant design concepts in Indonesia is commendable, aligning well with global efforts toward decarbonization and energy independence. The abstract clearly articulates the research's environmental motivation and its potential to contribute to a greener transportation sector. The methodology employed, a qualitative approach based on literature analysis and study, provides a foundational understanding by synthesizing existing knowledge. The findings, which highlight a significant difference in carbon emission reduction when comparing solar thermal-powered electric cars to conventional fossil-fuel vehicles, and reaffirm the environmental superiority of electric vehicles, are well-established truths in the field. While these results strengthen the argument for implementing such technologies, the abstract does not elaborate on how novel "design concepts" are developed or applied through a purely literature-based approach. Furthermore, the abstract's use of "solar thermal energy" for battery supply warrants clarification, as direct electrical conversion for battery charging is typically associated with photovoltaics, whereas solar thermal usually implies heat generation. If the intent is thermal-to-electric conversion, the efficiency and practicality for vehicle integration would be crucial details. To enhance the paper's impact and practical applicability, several areas could be further developed. Future research would greatly benefit from a more detailed technical feasibility study, specifically addressing the mechanism and efficiency of converting solar thermal energy into electricity suitable for electric vehicle batteries within the Indonesian climate and resource context. This should include quantitative analyses regarding energy yield, required collector area (whether vehicle-integrated or as part of charging infrastructure), storage solutions, and a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis. Developing concrete, specific design concepts, perhaps even rudimentary prototypes or detailed simulations, would significantly strengthen the paper's contribution beyond a conceptual framework. Addressing potential challenges in implementation, such as material availability, manufacturing capabilities, and grid integration for charging stations, would also provide a more robust and actionable roadmap for policymakers and industry stakeholders in Indonesia.
