ITURRALDE CARRERA, Luis Angel et al. Methodology for the integration of photovoltaic solar installations in hotel buildings in the Caribbean. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2024, vol.16, n.1, pp. 174-187.  Epub Feb 28, 2024. ISSN 2218-3620.

The objective of this work is to propose a methodology for the installation of solar photovoltaic systems in hotel buildings in the Caribbean. The energy analysis of the building in question is proposed for the subsequent selection and sizing of the solar photovoltaic system to be installed, taking into account aspects such as the structural design of the panel supports, the calculation of the layout of the solar photovoltaic system and the design of the solar photovoltaic system's electrical network. The economic evaluation procedure for the company and the country is described. This methodology also studies the environmental impact of the implementation of this technology. Traditional calculation methods and software simulations are used to analyze the results obtained.

Keywords : Methodology; Photovoltaic solar systems; Energy analysis; Sizing; Economic evaluation; Environmental impact.
