Indonesia is a developing country with a population of about 250 million people, so that the needs of electricity in Indonesia is quite high. Increasing electricity needs has not yet been able to overcome by power plants that exist today. In addition to difficulty reaching remote areas is also a factor that affects the availability of electricity especially in remote areas. The ever increasing electricity needs have resulted in the need to increase power generation. Generally used in conventional power plants that use fossil fuels so as to cause problems against nature and high costs. One of the solutions that can be used is to use environmentally friendly renewable energy and its existence is continuous in nature. In addition, renewable energy can be used in remote areas to generate electricity independently on each area (distributed generation) without being connected to the grid (off-grid). Renewable energy that can be used is the solar energy (PV) combined with a generator as a backup. The study was done using software HOMER Pro for communal load 20 kWh and administratif load 11 kWh in one region left behind, the outermost, and forefront in Indonesia namely Amaru village, Der Koumur Subdistrict, Papua. The results of this study is the selection of the generator system configuration allows both from technical side as well as economical by comparing the value of the LCOE and system performance each configuration. The results of this study can also be used as reference material in electricity development project areas left in Indonesia.
