    Vivienda como aprovisionamiento energético sostenible: el caso de una ciudad intermedia
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2024-07-23) Parra Orellana, Fabian Santiago; Álvarez Cárdenas, Israel Victor; Zalamea León, Esteban Felipe
    The objective of this thesis is to investigate the solar potential and mobility patterns of homes in a specific area to understand how photovoltaic systems can meet energy needs, including electric vehicle charging. The study analyzes the context of the growing demand for renewable energy and sustainable mobility. Results show variations in the solar potential of rooftops due to their geometry and slope. To cover the energy consumption of homes and electric vehicle charging, between 6 and 16 solar panels are required, occupying between 17,97% and 18,48% of the roof area. On average, 34% of the roof cannot be utilized due to geometric limitations. The total roof area in the study area is 2.973,58 m2, producing 815.881,32 kWh annually. The gross solar potential is 25,07 kW, reduced to 16,20 kW due to geometric limitations. To fully meet the energy needs of homes, 6,76% of the roof area is required, or 15,51% if electric vehicle charging is included. Even homes with lower solar potential benefit from photovoltaic systems, highlighting the opportunity to increase the use of renewable solar energy in the region.
