COMPARAÇÃO ENTRE ENERGIA SOLAR TÉRMICA E ENERGIA SOLAR FOTOVOLTAICA: Estudo de caso em uma residência na cidade de São Lourenço-MG

Abstract

This work analyzes the technical and economic feasibility for implementing the thermal and photovoltaic system in a home. Such an approach is due to the fact that it increases environmental degradation, making it necessary to seek sources capable of proving human need. Accepting Brazil's solar potential, solar energy systems present themselves as an alternative. The objective of this study is to verify, for a residence under study, which is the best system: solar thermal or photovoltaic. This objective will be achieved through bibliographic review, applied research through a case study carried out in a residence in the city of São Lourenço-Minas Gerais. The study showed, after the results obtained, that between the two systems, verifying as characteristics of each one and its main advantages, the photovoltaic system or the best one to acquire.
