Factibilidad de implementación de un sistema fotovoltaico autónomo para aplicaciones en cultivos agrícolas.

Abstract

This document analyzes the irrigation system with photovoltaic solar energy as a strategy to improve food sustainability in rural regions of the Sierra del Ecuador, and whose subject is called "Feasibility of implementing an autonomous photovoltaic system for applications in agricultural crops". This project describes the generalities of the titling work through the use of photovoltaic energy and the basic technologies of this field. In chapter 2, the theoretical foundations of solar energy, the photovoltaic effect and conversion are presented, as well as the operating principle of a cell as a basic element of this field, to show where and how electricity is obtained from this source. Next, chapter 3 presents the study of the agricultural irrigation system through the use of photovoltaic solar panels and the different parameters that influence its behavior in agricultural production. The photovoltaic irrigation system has been shown to significantly increase both household income and food intake, especially during the dry season, and is cost effective compared to alternative technologies.
