In this study a prototype of a Hybrid Power Plant (PLTH) will be built that integrates the Pico-hydro Power Plant (PLTPH) and the Solar Power Plant (PLTS). The prototype of the PLTH to be built has a capacity of 500-1000 watts. From the making of the prototype-1 it was discovered that the PLTPH produced a maximum power of 86 W (from a capacity of 100 W) and the PLTS produced a maximum power of 30 W during bright weather and 23 W when the weather was dim (from a capacity of 100 W). The results of testing on prototype-2, it is known that PLTPH with a capacity of 600 W produces maximum power of 257.48 W and PLTS with 3 x 200 Wp (watt-peak) solar panels producing maximum power of 176.4 watts. After some adjustments, the electrical energy from these two sources is then stored in the battery. Electrical energy from PLTS is stored on the battery after going through the MPPT Solar Charge Controller; while the electrical energy from the PLTPH is stored on the battery after the electricity voltage is lowered and rectified with the rectifier. From the results of observations and measurements during testing, these two sources of electrical energy can charge the battery normally. Electrical energy from batteries that are direct current electricity is then converted into electrical energy alternating current of the power frequency to be supplied to the load, especially the electric load of alternating current.
