Projeto de geração de energia baseado em sistemas fotovoltaicos para ambiente residencial

Abstract

Faced with an environmental and energy crisis that affects the entire planet, new ways of energy obtainment, which are less polluting, are needed. The renewable energy, also called alternative sources, in a short time became an alternative way of energy generation, being able to reduce our dependence on traditional sources of energy generation. Photovoltaic or solar energy is one of these sources. The photovoltaic system, responsible for the capture of sunlight and conversion to electric energy, allows to be installed in homes, commerce and industries, bringing with it several advantages, between them the reduction of environmental impact and financial returns. The goal of this work is show the stages of a photovoltaic system project, using as reference a residence. Showing the photovoltaic system can supply the demand of house energy and provide a medium and long term financial return. Thus, it’s noted that’s possible to use alternative means of energy generation in order to reduce the dependencies of the other sources, obtain a financial return of the investment and reduce the impact descendant of other ways more polluting, as example, hydroelectric plants.
