ITURRALDE CARRERA, Luis Angel et al. Efficient implementation of solar photovoltaic systems in Caribbean buildings: Case study. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2024, vol.16, n.2, pp. 244-255.  Epub 30-Abr-2024. ISSN 2218-3620.

The following research presents the calculation of the photovoltaic generation potential from the use of the roof surfaces of buildings for a case study. For this purpose, an energy study was carried out in the facility to identify the demand to be satisfied, and the constructive survey of the building was executed free of shadows that can be used for the mounting of photovoltaic panels considering the dimensions, orientation, and inclination of their roofs, in addition, the specific meteorological information of the territory was obtained, necessary for the generation calculations and its inclusion in the specialized software PVSyst. The PVSyst simulation showed that the company has an available area of 1,317 m2 of building roofs, an area where it is possible to install a total of 510 photovoltaic modules, with a generation capacity of 281 kWp and a real annual generation of 508,416 kWh/year. This photovoltaic installation is capable of covering 102.65 % of the facility's energy demand.
