The effect of global warming has raised public awareness to seek energy sources that do not damage the environment and can be renewed, such as renewable energy. Renewable energy that is practically applied in people’s homes, namely sun and wind. This research studies about solar panels to determine the highest electrical power produced. Measurements are made by measuring the voltage and electric current generated by solar panels and measuring wind speed to determine the electrical power generated by wind turbines. This research was conducted in the Campus area of Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta. Solar panels produce the highest electric power of 26.42 Watts. This study states that solar panels produce electric power that is more effective and optimal than wind turbines. The power produced by the solar panels is 26.42 Watt, while the wind turbine produces electric power of 6.46 Watt.
