Analysis of the potential gains from the implementation of a photovoltaic energy generation system in the forum of Jaboatão, PE

Abstract

After the Industrial Revolution, there is a high rate of growth in energy consumption, which causes worldwide concern for the environment. In this way, studies based on new forms of energy are promoted, thus emerging renewable energies, including photovoltaic energy, which has the advantage of being an inexhaustible, non-polluting and free source, as it comes from solar energy, being able to contribute in an intense and effective way in the diversification of the world energy matrix. This work aims to evaluate the impacts that are obtained in the financial and environmental bias, by adopting photovoltaic generation at the Jaboatão dos Guararapes Forum, being able to expand the use of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (PV) in Pernambuco, taking into account the interests of those who benefit from this type of installation. The methodology refers to a collection of data to analyze the conditions of implementing a photovoltaic system at the Jaboatão dos Guararapes Forum, located on the city of Jaboatão dos Guararapes/PE. Data collection took place over a period of 12 months. Electricity bills were collected during this period, the favorable situations for installing the PV system, which are the technical conditions, such as roof type, shading, irradiance, and cost benefit of this form of installation. We also counted on the use of an important software, PVSOL, providing us with better results. This study resulted in the implementation of the photovoltaic system in that building being viable, with the analysis of favorable financial economic viability parameters, and with a friendly environmental contribution, being relevant in the diversification of the energy matrix.
