Based on the result of the questionnaire, the implementation of the Solar Energy Bank has helped solve lighting problems, provided community service satisfaction and increased knowledge regarding the use of solar energy as an alternative energy source and skills in operating the Solar Energy Bank for the people of Dusun Batu Ampar RT 04/RW 17.
