Research Results Do not Just Stacked in Warehouses

Reading the daily Kompas on Saturday, February 6, 2010 about Solar Cell Laboratory Hartika is really ironic. What was done by researchers Hartika as solar cell production for 30 years, it has not produced results so far.

Whereas in 1996, as a form of gift exchange with the Malaysian Government in the form of three cars is the Proton Saga car that national pride that neighbor country, President Suharto gave 50 solar cell panels Hartika research. Suharto wanted to show Indonesia was no less advanced in technology by showing the solar cell technology.

"Although Indonesia has been started, according to Hartika, neighboring countries, like Singapore and Malaysia, was the first to manufacture solar cells. It's not because they are experts who can first make solar cells, but this is more because governments of these countries dared decided to make solar cell industry. "

After study at Electronics Department Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), she joined the National Electronics Institute (LEN). Then the opportunity to explore solar cell technology in Osaka, Japan and studying it in several countries in Europe, Asia, United States, too.

Hartika obtain grace Satyalancana Development of President Suharto (1997). He got the award for his role in the Field of Strategic Industry Development Division: Process and Production of Solar Cell Components, Solar Power for One Million Houses. And thanks to the consistency, loyalty, and the technology of solar cell production process in June 2007, Hartika confirmed as a research professor by the Head of LIPI Djenie Anggara Umar. A month later, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono Karya Satya confer XXX Satyalancana for him. But strangely, until now, two years before retirement Hartika, there is no manufacturing for solar cells in Indonesia, and our country in this equator solar cells are needed, its a gift from the God.

Nawa Tunggal in coverage in Kompas said that it's a shame, self-reliance in this technology, the government is still limited to express appreciation. The researchers would expect the government immediately implement of their technological research.

It's ironic because for a researcher not complete it if only to a limited appreciation. Such as an architects, researchers feel more appreciated when their works can be realized and implemented for real, is not it?

To move forward, Indonesia must have the courage to provide a budget for research and the government must dare to mobilize or coordinate the cooperation of private parties in this country to realize the results of research carried out, so that research results are not just stacked in the warehouse and a waste of money.
