PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY AS A SOLUTION FOR ENERGETIC CRISIS: ANALYSIS OF TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN BUILDING AN INSTITUTION OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN ITAPERUNA- RJ CITY

Abstract

This paper has two aims, first to review existing literature on solar energy, addressing topics such as their origin, development, possible uses, projects involving solar energy, institutions already employ and utilize this energy and how solar power came to help the fight of future energy demands that are to come. The second objective is to study the technical feasibility for the implementation of a photovoltaic system at Redeemer University Society in Itaperuna City, RJ. Checked the technical feasibility of installing a system at the institution, which had an average high annual solar radiation between 4,5 and 5,10 kWh / m².day and a large area available for installation of photovoltaic modules.
