Global electricity consumption is increasing in line with population growth, in contrast to the increasingly limited availability of fossil fuels. Most power plants in Indonesia still use fossil fuels. Per capita electricity consumption in Indonesia in 2023 is estimated to reach an average of 1,285 kWh/capita. This figure is an increase from 1,173 kWh/capita in 2022. The increase in fossil fuel use is directly proportional to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, which leads to global warming, rising sea levels, and climate instability. This is a serious problem because alternative energy sources are needed to replace fossil fuels, whose use is crucial, including in the agricultural sector to support water pump-based irrigation systems. This study aims to analyze and compare the performance of monokristalin and polikristalin solar panels in water pump applications so that recommendations can be made on the most suitable panel technology for the load characteristics and environmental conditions. This study uses a literature review method with a descriptive-comparative analysis approach. The data examined includes the main parameters of photovoltaic systems, namely voltage, current, power, sunlight intensity, and energy conversion efficiency. The study's results indicate that solar radiation intensity and module temperature significantly influence solar panel performance. Monokristalin panels have higher efficiency and generate more power over the same surface area, making them suitable for use in areas with limited space. Meanwhile, polikristalin panels remain relevant in areas with high light intensity because they are capable of generating greater current despite their lower efficiency. This study also emphasizes the importance of planning support systems, such as batteries and charge controllers, to maintain energy supply continuity. The selection of solar panel types for water pump applications needs to consider load capacity, environmental conditions, and space limitations so that the application of renewable energy technology can run optimally and sustainably.
