Implementación de un sistema fotovoltaico Off Grid para abastecer de energía eléctrica a una vivienda, ubicada en un sector rural del cantón Isidro Ayora en la provincia del Guayas

Abstract

The objective of this degree work is the implementation of an Off Grid photovoltaic system for the electrical supply of a home located in the rural sector of the Isidro Ayora canton, in the province of Guayas. It seeks to provide a sustainable and efficient solution to the lack of access to electricity in rural communities, promoting energy self-sufficiency and reducing the energy poverty gap. The design of the system was based on a detailed analysis of the home's energy demand, using specialized software to size the solar panels, the battery bank, the inverter and the charge controller. The installation included two Longi 585W solar panels connected in series, a 48V battery bank made up of four 12V and 100Ah units, a 2,212W Calpha inverter and an electrical protection system with breakers for each component. The results obtained show that the system provides reliable energy coverage, allowing the power of basic appliances and reducing dependence on combustion generators. In addition, the implementation contributes to the mitigation of environmental impact by eliminating the use of fossil fuels, promoting the use of clean energy. It is concluded that this model is replicable in other rural communities, representing a viable alternative to guarantee access to electricity in isolated sectors.
