Energia solar: um estudo sobre a análise ambiental e econômica de instalação do sistema fotovoltaico em uma residência e um hotel no vale do Jari.

Abstract

Environmental impacts are very present nowadays in Brazil. Therefore, there is a need for new, more sustainable methods to be implemented within society. Brazil has resources to exploit wind, biomass and photovoltaic energy. In order to put these energy generation sources into operation, investments in research are necessary. The average of the Brazilian territory (5 kW.h.m-2/day) is practically equal to the maximum irradiation value observed in the European continent (5.5 kW.h.m-2/day). Brazil is the country that receives the most solar radiation in the world. Because it is located close to the equator, the country receives a high incidence of sunlight throughout the day, with little variation throughout the seasons, due to the characteristics of the planet's translation. In view of these issues, the objective of the research is to analyze the economic and environmental viability of a project to generate solar energy through photovoltaic panels in a residence in the intermediate neighborhood, in the district of Monte Dourado, in the municipality of Almeirim, and a Hotel located in the municipality of Laranjal do Jari, in the south of Amapá, both adopting the on-grid system. The use of the photovoltaic system within the cases studied is mainly due to economic aspects but which end up implying within the environmental means and becoming an ecological benefit.
