Energy emphasizes a central role in this modern world. On 2 nd January 2015, crude oil price reached $52.81/barrel and affected
countries in the world differently. Therefore to lessen the dependency of fossil fuels, renewable energy is undoubtedly needed to perform energy security and reduce greenhouse gases. Solar energy is the most abundant, inexhaustible and clean of all the renewable energy resources until now. Indonesia has average daily irradiation 4.8kWh/m2/day. One of the obstacle of solar Photovoltaic (PV) development is the rise in temperature. To inhibit the increase in temperature, two Phase Change Materials (PCMs), Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and Calcium Chloride Dihydrate, are used that will lead to better power output and electrical efficiency in on-grid and off-grid PV system.
