Projeto e implementação de uma usina fotovoltaica de 244,75kWp

Abstract

Distributed generation in Brazil has enabled exponential growth in photovoltaic solar energy. With the decline in the prices of photovoltaic panels, improvement in the quality and efficiency of cells, increased competition, and the development of the supply chain and labor force in Brazil, investing in photovoltaic power plants for self-consumption or shared generation has become highly attractive. This paper provides a detailed overview of the planning, design, construction, and validation of a small-scale photovoltaic power plant. First, it seeks to contextualize distributed generation in Brazil, providing a chronological perspective and distinguishing it from centralized generation. The paper also offers an overview of the key components of a photovoltaic power plant, including real-world examples. The third part of the paper covers the power plantŠs sizing, describing each part and stage of construction with actual project images. The results of the study are discussed, demonstrating that the generation delivered after a year and a half of the power plantŠs operation is in line with expectations. Furthermore, the paper delves into some interesting experiences gained during
