Estimar el rendimiento energético del sistema fotovoltaico, aplicado a viviendas de La Comunidad Masa 2

Abstract

Photovoltaic systems in coastal areas experience a significant decrease in performance due to environmental factors and a design that is not optimized for the specific conditions of Masa 2. For this reason, this study evaluated a 570Wp photovoltaic system in a coastal home in this sector, simulating its performance with PVsyst and with the aim of analyzing its energy demand and performance. The results showed that the system installed in the home covers between 47.9% and 63.8% of monthly consumption, being more efficient in the sunny season (January-March). Although viable, challenges were identified, such as losses due to salinity and high demand from electrical appliances. The system proves to be a sustainable alternative for isolated areas, but requires preventive maintenance and load management to optimize its efficiency. The study provides a technical basis for implementing solar energy in coastal communities with limited access to the electricity grid.
