Estudo de caso de aplicação de sistemas fotovoltaicos em um edifício residencial em Curitiba

Abstract

Brazil has relevant potential for photovoltaic electric energy generation, due to the high solar radiation index in the national territory. Thereby, solar energy is very promising in the country and, currently, relatively unexplored. Considered a clean energy generation, photovoltaic systems represent sustainable solutions and measures for constructions. Its great advantage is the reduction of the system’s losses, allowing the generation of electric energy near the place of consumption, decentralizing the generation of energy. Photovoltaic systems can be installed in the roofs and facades of buildings and, starting from these solutions, the present work presents a viability study for the implementation of a photovoltaic system installed on the roof and facade in an existing residential building in Curitiba - Paraná, to meet the common demand of the condominium of the Silvertown Building and also, analysis of the consumption and possible measures to decrease the consumption of electrical energy by the condominium. The result was obtained with the help of Google Earth images, to study the shading of the environment in the Building, and analysis of the RADIASOL program.
