Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are essential for regional economic growth. In their operations, MSMEs often face technical constraints, one of which is the limited supply of electrical energy that can hamper production. Solar energy as renewable energy has great potential and is an alternative solution to minimize the impact of this problem. However, the readiness and ability of MSMEs to adopt new technologies often differ. Therefore, it is necessary to determine specific policies and strategies to encourage the adoption of solar panels based on the conditions faced by certain MSMEs. This study aims to classify MSMEs into particular groups based on their level of expectation, readiness, and ability to adopt solar panels as an alternative to conventional electricity supply. The hierarchical clustering approach was implemented and resulted in four optimal clusters with the number of members played by cluster 1. Cluster 1 shows the characteristics of MSMEs that are willing, ready, and able to adopt solar panels. Cluster 2 contains MSMEs that are unwilling, unprepared, and unable to adopt solar panels. Cluster 3 has the characteristics of MSMEs that are capable but still hesitant to adopt solar panels. In contrast, cluster 4 is MSMEs that want but need more time to be ready and able to adopt solar panels. Policies to encourage the adoption of solar panels by MSMEs are proposed based on the characteristics of each group, ranging from intensive assistance to resource assistance. The results of this study can provide an overview of the perception of MSMEs on the implementation of solar panels in Banyumas and Indonesia in more general.
