Abstract

In the present work, a photovoltaic system connected to the network and integrated into a house in the Rocafuerte canton, province of Manabí, is designed. For its development, the computer tool for sizing photovoltaic systems PVsyst was used, with which the annual production of electrical energy for the 8.8 kWp system was determined, losses were also analyzed due to the main factors such as shading, wiring, power electronics, photovoltaic array, angle of inclination, temperature and by the irradiance of the sun. In addition, the main parameters of the installed system provided data for planning electricity consumption. The results showed that the electrical energy generated can cover 84% of the demand of the house, in infrequent conditions, but with a projection to cover the entire demand in the months of less consumption. Which constitutes an alternative for the generation and obtaining of energy, taking advantage of available spaces in the houses.
