One of the uses of solar energy as an energy source is the installation of photovoltaic solar panels on the roof of consumers or what is called Rooftop PV. This solar panel will be connected directly to the existing distribution system (on grid). The Regulation of the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources No.49 of 2018 concerning the use of rooftop solar power systems opens opportunities for customers to build Rooftop PV on the roof of their buildings. The penetration of rooftop PV in a distribution system in an area will certainly have an impact on the quality of the system. Therefore, an analysis of the impact of large amounts of rooftop PV penetration on the distribution system is needed so that PLN as the network owner can anticipate the impact. This study aims to analyze the impact of PV rooftop penetration at different locations and different load power factors and determine the optimal location of penetration points and the load power factor values for high penetration levels with fuzzy logic methods. From the experiments conducted, the location of Rooftop PV penetration will affect the value of power losses so that it will affect the amount of power absorbed and supplied by the external grid and the loading of the transformer to the system. The load power factor will affect the reactive power that is absorbed or supplied by the external grid so that it affects the value of the power factor in the system. In addition, based on the fuzzy logic method, the system will be able to receive the most PLTS penetration when the PLTS location is located at the base of the network with pf = 0.8.
