Estudio de factibilidad de un sistema solar fotovoltaico para una vivienda ubicada en la Urb. Terrasol.

Abstract

This paper details the feasibility of installing a Photovoltaic Solar System as a source of electricity supply for a house located in the Terrasol Urbanization in the Samborondón canton. The work is based on the interest of being able to present a solution to Ecuadorian families with respect to their expenses for electricity consumption, through which it is intended to analyze that the use of photovoltaic systems for residential application is a viable alternative for reducing the cost of electricity supply. The initial reference for the dimensional analysis is the average annual solar incidence of Canton Samborondón, being 4.18 kW/ m2, data that has been taken from the PVSyst system (PVSyst, 2022), fed by meteorological stations (Meteonorm) in the world that provide the parameters of temperature and sectorial radiation of different countries. Once the solar radiation incidence parameters are established, we proceed with the theoretical analysis of the sizing of the solar system, location of the solar panels, current electricity consumption of the house, optimal angle of positioning, monthly generation of the system; then, we proceed to perform the analysis with the PVSyst program of the feasibility of the installation of the photovoltaic system, resulting that the power to be installed should be 9.27 kWp, with an installation of 17 monocrystalline solar panels of 545 W each one. Finally, an economic balance of the expenses that the house currently has for electricity consumption that corresponds to the state supplier CNEL E.P-GLR., which is equivalent to 23,817 kWh per year, representing $ 5,444.00 U.S. dollars/year. This project aims to reduce the consumption of electricity in the house, from the complementary use of solar panels, which provides a cost reduction of $ 1,943.30 U.S. dollars / year, equivalent to 35.69% of economic savings.
