Abstract: Continuity and availability of electrical energy have to maintained, the government appealed for saving electrical energy. The lack of electrical energy conversion research centers in universities lead to knowledge conversion of electrical energy to the campus community is still limited.These problems will be conducted research design and test of Solar Power Plant in Electrical Energy Research Center UKI Paul Makassar. Solar energy is converted into electrical energy obtained through Solar Power Slant System (photovoltaic).The purpose of this research is to design and analyze the amount of energy produced by Solar Power Plant to study the electrical energy at laboratoty of the electrical energy conversion UKI Paulus Makassar. This study used a method of literature study, system design, and analysis. Characteristics of the solar panels used capacity of 9 units x 50 = 450 Wp are connected in parallel, Vmax = 25.5 Volts, Iout = 14 A, the operating time of 6 hours each day. Capacity of the accumulators 2 x 12 Volt units = 24 Volt, 65 Ah. Current capacity of the battery charge regulator (BCR) 40 A. Capacity of 10 kW power inverter Testing of solar systems to use solar insolation data is lowest at 3:51 days/ hours.
