    Análisis del potencial fotovoltaico de las techumbres en la parroquia Nazón
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-02-11) Jaramillo Arevalo, Steeven Cristobal; Vera Tandazo, Ricardo Andres; Zalamea León, Esteban Felipe
    This research focuses on the potential for micro-generation and self-supply of energy within the local grid in homes of the Nazón parish (Cañar), centered on photovoltaic panels, with the objective of improving energy efficiency, creating a decentralized source, leveraging the climatic conditions of the locality, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The research process begins with a bibliographic review of electricity consumption, followed by field data collection on the roof geometry of homes in the populated center, and finally, an energy analysis using the Global Solar Atlas application. The methodology adopted is based on a quantitative analysis, utilizing data from the Regional Electric Company Centro Sur and its current energy demands to estimate the potential energy savings achievable by implementing photovoltaic panels.The results show that the Nazón parish has an energy demand of 704,487 kWh, with 994 customers. However, the photovoltaic generation capacity of rooftops is 16,753,868 kWh/year, representing a total of 60,766.51 m² of potential surface area for the installation of photovoltaic systems, which exceeds the current energy demand by over 2348%.
