Demand in abdon calderon parish for possible installation of photovoltaic systems

Abstract

Photovoltaic systems installed in Ecuador benefit from the geographical position of the country, since, being located on the equatorial line, solar radiation is constant throughout the year, varying in the rainy seasons. The objective of this work is to evaluate the possibility of installing public lighting systems using photovoltaic systems in the Abdón Calderón parish due to the difficulties that exist today, thereby helping not only to reduce the country's energy generation problems, but also to reduce the environmental impact and provide autonomy to the inhabitants of the parish. An observational research was carried out, in addition to interviewing the residents of the parish related to lighting in the streets, as a result, it was obtained that in the future investments can be made to introduce the technology, improving with it the quality of public lighting, the environmental and social impacts associated with it.
