Estudio de viabilidad de una instalación solar fotovoltaica en una vivienda particular

Abstract

The motivation for the work conducted within this paper was to asses if a common private property was capable of generate the energy it consumed. To evaluate this, a feasibility study was conducted based on research carried out throughout PV technology including components, system topologies and economic support schemes. The methodology employed for the study was PV software system simulation using PVSyst, where a 3D model of the property was developed to conduct performance simulations of the system. The study concluded that the property was effectively capable of generate more than the electrical energy needed. Nevertheless, the economic feasibility of the project, even though it resulted feasible, seemed discouraging because of the long payback period obtained due to the recent second review of feed-in tariffs in the UK. Finally, both preliminary electrical and structural designs were conducted.
