    The environmental damage caused by the use of fossil fuels has increased substantially on the planet, this drives initiatives that promote the use of new non-conventional renewable energy sources, in this case photovoltaic solar energy. This is a clean energy because it does not produce environmental pollution and sustainable because the solar resource is present all the time on our planet. The present work seeks to analyze the generation of electricity through photovoltaic solar energy, comparing three different systems. For this purpose, three small-scale prototypes of solar energy collection are analyzed through simulations and measurements, which are: the conventional fixed system with a panel taking data in a single geographical position all the time, secondly, a solar tracker of one axis (from east to west) and finally a tracker of all cardinal points (two axes) is added, to analyze through results the best solar photovoltaic system. Complementarily, an electrical and economic analysis of the photovoltaic system of the Balzay Campus of the University of Cuenca is carried out to determine the feasibility of executing studies of solar photovoltaic micro generation projects considering the regulations of the public service of electric energy in force in Ecuador, both for companies and conventional houses in the city of Cuenca. In addition, a small survey is conducted to determine what economic value people would be willing to pay for a clean electricity service
