“…Based on the above, this article presents the development of a solar lighting system, which is implemented in some residential units located in the city of Manizales, Colombia, so that the inhabitants can reappropriate these spaces, giving them a new meaning. The option of a solar lighting system represents a social benefit at an economic level [6]- [10], as presented by [11] who indicates that in addition to the mentioned benefit, these  ISSN: 2302-9285 systems generate social impact at the level of security, improving the lifestyle of women, providing ecological light without pollution, improving the standard of living and the social situation.…”

Photovoltaic lighting systems are unable to reach people with low purchasing power due to high installation costs, so they have traditionally been concentrated in families with high purchasing power and currently do not take into account the social power that this type of system represents. This article analyzes through bibliometric review the effect that lighting can have on human development and how a good lighting system can positively affect a community environment. It is proposed the social design of a photovoltaic lighting system which will be installed in a vulnerable community with resources obtained by the community itself and the whole process of accompaniment achieving a satisfactory impact on the community and achieving integration between the same from community participation. The development of workshops with the children of the community has also been proposed, leading to the training and recognition of alternative energy systems as a strategy of social appropriation.

“…In recent years, Morocco has faced major challenges regarding the future of its energy system, economic growth and demographic growth [1]. Consequently, Morocco has implemented a national energy policy favorable to the development of renewable energies [2], to secure its energy supply, to control the future costs of energy services compared to the future costs of petroleum products and finally to preserve the environment by mitigating greenhouse gas emissions [3]. Photovoltaic solar energy represents an inexhaustible source of green energy and an alternative to fossil fuels [4].…”

A good study of photovoltaic system requests to have very precise current-voltage characteristic curves of photovoltaic modules for different technologies. The photovoltaic emulator provides an efficient solution to maintain the same current-voltage output of photovoltaic module. It includes three parts: the PV model, the control strategy, and the power converter. This paper provides three classes of modeling and simulation of photovoltaic arrays and presents the synthesis results of the current-voltage characteristic performances obtained by the modeling approaches. The models of the first class are based on electrical circuit model, those of the second class are based on multiple straight lines model, and for the third class, it is based on the look up table. The mathematical model is built using MATLAB/ Simulink, and an experimental bench was carried out to acquire an up-to-date and representative experimental database of four PV panels. This database is used for the validation of these models for the different PV panel technologies under Moroccan meteorological conditions. Following this comparative study, we came to a high agreement between the experimental and simulated current-voltage characteristics for the emulator under study.

As with any other product, having electricity of a certain quality is very important for consumers. Its quality has become the key feature that can be disturbed by loads based on power electronic devices. Electricity producers are striving to provide reliable and quality electricity supply to consumers. Public lighting systems that are based on LED lighting technology can potentially positively or negatively affect the power quality because they contain power electronics components in LED drivers. Because of that, two 7-day measurements were conducted on the same public lighting branch but with different lighting technologies (high pressure sodium, known as HPS and LED technology). Results of the measurements were analysed and compared. By analysing the results, other problems were also identified by using LED lighting technology. These problems are addressed in the conclusion of the paper.
