Abstract: Fossil energy sources today are getting thinner so that alternative energy sources such as renewable energy are needed. For that, it takes a touch of technology in utilizing such energy sources as sunlight is converted into electrical energy, the wind converted into electrical energy, and so on. These two sources of energy require a high investment cost but do not use fuel, environmentally friendly and long equipment life. Indonesia as an archipelagic State, separated by the sea so that some areas are still connected to electricity interconnected by PLN. The area is generally supplied by Gen set or PLTD which still use fuel oil (BBM) with an expensive price. This first-year research aims to create hybrid energy and hybrid power generation models as an alternative source of environmentally friendly electrical energy, which is carried out at the UKI-Paulus Makassar Laboratory. Modeling of a hybrid system using HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable) version 3.9.1. The result of this research shows that simulation model of hybrid solar energy and energy generation for load requirement of 0.410 kW or 3.12 kWh / d is supplied from PV of 0.325 kW and from Wind Energy 1 kW with an operating cost of $ 1,457 and an initial investment of $ 48,414. The output power of the inverter is about 0.13 kW or 130 Watt. Hybrid plants are able to serve consumers effectively.
