PITA MERA, Kleber Felipe; BALDERRAMO VELEZ, Ney Raúl y PITA CANTOS, Lenin Julián. Energy optimization of a computer company in Ecuador through an on-grid photovoltaic generation system. Energética [online]. 2024, vol.45, n.1, pp. 89-98. Epub 30-Mar-2024. ISSN 1815-5901.
Ecuador's solar potential was explored, proving high for the favorable implementation of photovoltaic systems, with a greater focus on the Andes mountain range. In the Coastal region, global horizontal irradiation levels maintain the trend of being feasible for energy optimization in establishments through photovoltaic panels. A proposal was developed to improve the energy efficiency of the computer company Altura S.A. via commercial license software, PVsyst 7.2; showing positive technical and economic results, producing an energy surplus of 14.11% with a recovery period of 15.7 years, avoiding the emission of 1.33 tons of CO2 annually. In turn, various barriers were established that prevent the penetration of these systems such as political, social, etc., as well as the great and reinforced use of conventional energy sources despite the feasibility shown in this study.
