This research aims to compare the actual production with the simulations using the PVSyst software for the Off-Grid Solar Power Plant (PLTS) in Karuni Village, Southwest Sumba. The Off-Grid PLTS in Karuni Village is a vital solution for improving remote areas' electricity access. Actual energy production data from the PLTS were obtained from monitoring systems, while simulation results were obtained through PVSyst. The analysis results indicate a difference of approximately 10% between the actual and simulated results. It observed that it is influenced by variability in local weather conditions, maintenance, system management levels, and limitations of the simulation model. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of using accurate data in simulations, improving PLTS system maintenance, and developing more sophisticated simulation models. Recommendations for further research include further analysis of factors influencing the differences in results. This study provides valuable insights into the planning and management of Off-Grid PLTS. It offers perspectives on enhancing the accuracy of future PLTS system planning and management.
