Estudio técnico y económico para la implementación de paneles solares en el área administrativa de la Facultad Técnica para el Desarrollo de la Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil.

Abstract

The demand of electricity has led over the years for the looking of new alternatives for the electrical generation, this has a direct impact in the environmental impact that this causes, because of the need of electricity that has been countered with the exploitation of natural resources that emit huge amounts of contamination to the ecosystem. The solar photovoltaic energy appeared like an alternative to reduce environmental problems and give solutions to some of the existing energetic needs. This project analyzes the possibility of implementing this technology in the administrative area of the Facultad de Educación Técnica para el Desarrollo, FETD, de la Universidad Católica de Santiago de Guayaquil, in order to reduce the electrical consumption from sources that are considered as pollutants, and at the same time, recover the investment and gain an economic benefit through the years. For the study, a load lifting has been realized in the specific area, and the quantity and capacity of the equipment that are going to be used in the installation, have been calculated. An economic analysis was also realized, which consists in the quoting for the system implementation, an approximated electrical consumption in the area, the time needed in recover the investment and the time that would enjoy of free electrical energy.
