The present article evaluates the economic viability of the application of solar energy for electric power generation via the use of photovoltaic systems in a residential consumption unit in the city of Curitiba, State of Paraná, Brazil. Since the energy from the sun is abundant, clean and renewable and has the potential to compete in productivity and profitability, it is of great interest to evaluate the applicability of these systems in homes and not only in industrial parks. A residence with the determined consumption profile was chosen to carry out the case study through simulations with the HomerPro software. After analyzing the data, the photovoltaic potential of the State of Paraná was estimated, in order to evaluate the use of photovoltaic generation in the State energy matrix.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
