Volunteers from the IEEE Indonesia Section and Young Professionals Affinity Group, and colleagues from the Universitas Budi Luhur.
Every participating student applied for IEEE membership, and four additional students chose to join IEEE after seeing the project’s real-world impact firsthand.
Project Description
Building on a series of prior Tech4Good projects successfully implemented in nearby communities, the Blue Noble Clean Energy project focused on delivering immediate, practical energy solutions to the Amal Mulia Foundation by installing decentralized solar photovoltaic systems. The project was designed to both leverage lessons learned from earlier installations and adapt them to the specific needs and site conditions of the Amal Mulia complex.
The project team installed two independent 3 kW inverter systems, each powered by four 620 Wp photovoltaic panels, to ensure reliable and distributed energy support across facilities. One system supplies electricity to the foster home, while the second system supports the school for students with disabilities within the same compound.
Initial Impact
In total, the system benefits 118 teachers and students; 40 of these students also live in the foster home within the Amal Mulia complex. After an initial observation period, an Amal Mulia representative reported a 50% reduction in electricity costs, even as the rainy season began.
The team selected a rooftop location and strengthened the installation base by replacing fragile asbestos roofing with corrugated metal roofing—creating a safer, more secure foundation for PV mounting. This careful approach reflects the team’s commitment to safety, fostering trust in the project’s management and outcomes.
Beyond expanding the beneficiary base, the project strengthened IEEE’s visibility and credibility in the region. Many IEEE members in Indonesia have recognized this project series as a compelling, sustainable model for IEEE technology for impact that can be replicated and scaled, encouraging ongoing innovation and collaboration.
