Description
Summary:Limited electricity networks and fuel access are problems in water supply, especially in remote areas. Implementing solar power for the pumping system is one solution to this problem. Installation of Solar Water Pumping Systems (SWPS) for remote areas is very beneficial from the triple bottom lines perspective of social, economic, and environmental. However, SWPSs cannot be utilized optimally and can experience problems and system failures if they do not follow procedures and best practices. Thus, standards and policies are needed. The development of quality parameters encountered problems due to the lack of information on the needs of stakeholders and the incomplete coverage of the required aspects. The barrier could lead to a long standard development process in reaching a consensus. This research aims to develop a framework for developing SWPS standards as stand-alone water pumping installations utilizing renewable energy for remote areas in Indonesia. This research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive method with a Framework for Analysis, comparison, and Testing of Standards (FACTS). FACTS uses four main stages: stakeholder analysis, technical analysis, comparison with international standard parameters, and testing proposed quality parameters. This framework provides additional information on formalism and structure so that standards development applies to all stakeholders. The FACTS approach is commonly used in the standardization process, especially in its preparation. The result is a framework for preparing SWPS standard(s), so they can be advanced effectively throughout the stages of standard development.
