“…Many of the characteristics of these large photovoltaic projects are recognized. This multinational has great campaigns to mitigate the environmental impact and in turn generates studies that have also allowed it to reduce the social impact with the surrounding communities implementing in these centers of academic and labor training, as well as the generations of direct jobs with the company for the short and medium term [22].…”

“…The proposed strategy to mitigate this impact is the implementation of a new control mode that applies to the inverter that is in the photovoltaic network and in the storage system at the moment where the energy oscillations that are parallel to the frequency variations and the state of the load of the storage cell are presented, thus imitating the maximum and minimum values of load and discharge [22]. The hysteresis control allows avoiding the frequent change of the working modes, on the other hand, initially the battery has the role of moderating the energy that comes from the outside, a reactive power controller is also attached to this system, and these mechanisms are used according to the energy level of the battery as shown in Fig.…”

Photovoltaic solar energy has been booming worldwide due to the scarcity of non-renewable resources, from there arises the need to modernize and innovate in the methodologies for the use of energy resources as well as in the correct installation of this system at an urban or level rural. In recent decades in Latin America there have been presented advances in the implementation of photovoltaic projects, which is why this document aims to evaluate the feasibility of these at a technical and technological level, so that they are in accordance with the systems implemented in Asia, Europe, and North America. The analysis determined that the main factors affecting the feasibility of a photovoltaic execution project are economic and technological, in addition to the adverse impacts found on the ecosystem and the local population, but in general it was observed that they are weaknesses that can be corrected, since there are different countries that are working on establishing strategies to educate their community, so there is an improvement in the quality of life in sectors with high CO₂ pollution and lack of fossil fuels.

The growing interest in deploying photovoltaic systems and achieving their benefits as sustainable energy supplier raises the need to seek reliable medium-term and long-term operations with optimal performance and efficient use of economic resources. Cleaning scheduling is one of the activities that can positively impact performance. This work proposes a methodological framework to define the optimal scheduling of the cleaning activities of photovoltaic systems. The framework integrates a forecast model of the performance ratio, including the environmental variables’ effect. In addition, an economic analysis involving the economic losses and maintenance costs of cleaning is used. This framework is applied to a case study of a photovoltaic system located in Yumbo, Colombia. Based on the historical data on irradiance, active energy, temperature, rainfall, and wind speed, the obtained forecast model of the photovoltaic system’s performance ratio in a 60-day horizon has a mean absolute percentage error lesser of than 11%. The next cleaning date is forecasted to be beyond the horizon in a 19-day range, which will decrease as time goes by. This framework was applied to historical data and compared to actual cleaning dates performed by the utility company. The results show a loss of USD 33.616 due to unnecessary, early, or late cleaning activities.
