Estudo do aproveitamento da radiação solar captada por painéis fotovoltaicos como geração de energia elétrica em edificações no município de Cuiabá-MT

Abstract

This paper discusses the possibility of using the energy produced from the photovoltaic conversion of solar radiation captured by a photovoltaic system mounted in the laboratory and providing power to common loads used in a popular residential system. By adapting a method for collecting solar radiation and its direct conversion into electricity by a photovoltaic system mounted in the laboratory at the Federal University of Mato Grosso, simulating the real conditions of solar radiation in Cuiaba, Mato Grosso. The method is focused on assessing the levels of production of electricity , as well as other electrical quantities such as voltage and electrical current generated by the photovoltaic module and compared to those consumed by three loading systems , a hydraulic pump , a set of fluorescent lamps and a motor magnets . The result of the research concluded that although the solar radiation incident on the research area can be a source of energy to supplement power provided by the utility. The cost per kWh is still very high compared with the rate charged for the residential commercial class user, making thus impractical for use in regions that have the power network of dealership.
