ANÁLISE DE VIABILIDADE ECONÔMICA DE IMPLANTAÇÃO DE UM SISTEMA DE MINIGERAÇÃO FOTOVOLTAICO: um estudo de caso

Abstract

The economic feasibility study for the installation of photovoltaic systems in the non-residential area is highly important due to the great need to use new alternative sources of energy that has been driven by the exhaustion of the traditional sources in use, the growth of the Brazilian population, Energy and environmental issues. As the industrial sector is responsible for approximately 42.4% of the electricity consumption, there is a great need to expand the generator base to meet the demand for electricity in the country. It is well known that Brazil has a large capacity for exploration of energy from the Sun, which in developed countries is already a reality when it comes to the use of this resource for electricity generation. Thus, industries cover their buildings and parking lots with solar panels, and even public sectors and homes take advantage of their spaces for the generation of energy. Therefore, this paper will demonstrate the challenges to be faced in exploring this inexhaustible source of energy such as costs, advantages and disadvantages, and whether or not there are economic benefits.
