Resumen

Currently, the entire world is undergoing drastic changes in terms of pollution from CO2 emissions, which is highly polluting if we want to take care of the environment. In the last ten years, the acceptance and implementation of photovoltaic equipment has grown by 40 percent. This has caused countries like Pakistan to look to the future and launch an ambitious project with renewable energy sources to supply all educational institutions in their country. For the generation of electricity, fuel, gas, and coal are used, all of which are highly polluting. It is necessary to focus on clean energy sources, specifically on solar photovoltaic energy. In this scenario, in Peru, photovoltaic system installations have been carried out under the regional program for isolated rural electrification in the Tacna region. Therefore, to address this problem, this research suggests the implementation of a photovoltaic system that is friendly to the environment, economical, and reliable. To measure the energy that will be produced, meteorological and geographic data are collected. In the open plaza shopping center in Lima, Peru has (Latitude: 77°00'40.7" W, longitude: 12°06'42.0" S). Lima is one of the departments that has a higher solar irradiation. Likewise, it has a global horizontal diffuse irradiation of 6,316 kWh/m2/day and a temperature of 23.96°C. For this design, the PVSyst software is used to calculate the performance coefficient, power losses, efficiency of solar modules and solar trajectory. From the results obtained, a production of 284.7 MWh and a maximum energy generation of 27,463 KWh are estimated. The modeling of this system will contribute to the study, design and criteria for the implementation of photovoltaic systems.
