Autonomous photovoltaic solar system for a home in the San Clemente Community, Las Chacras de Río Chico

Abstract

In recent years, renewable energies have been gaining power over conventional energies. The most used renewable energy is solar, and thanks to its electromagnetic radiation, energy can be captured through solar cells to obtain electrical energy through a converter. The invention of photovoltaic systems, many people who saw it as far away or impossible to have electricity in their homes, can count on the service through an isolated system. This document details the basic concepts necessary to be able to carry out an isolated photovoltaic installation, and after that, the step-by-step implementation of the system in the home of a resident of the Rio chico parish, in the city of Portoviejo, and in this way, we can improve the standard of living of the inhabitants and help eradicate certain inequalities caused by the absence of electricity. The objective was to implement an autonomous photovoltaic system for the electrification of an isolated home in the Chacras de Rio chico. An inductive-deductive method, qualitative and quantitative research, in addition to the field study, were used. The result was the electrification of the isolated home in the area.
