THE ADOPTION OF SOLAR ENERGY AS A FACTOR FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SOLAR PHOTOVOTAIC PLANTS TO POWER THE INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING SYSTEM

Abstract

This undergraduate work is oriented to the analysis of lighting in outdoor spaces through autonomous photovoltaic generation in order to promote the economy and energy efficiency in the external lighting of a residence, also to be able to transmit knowledge about the use of the electrical system by solar energy. The research methods used were theoretical analysis through bibliographic research of the fundamentals on photovoltaic solar energy, industrial lighting and microcontrols for this type of lighting systems, followed by the experimental method that consists of performing operation tests and taking the data from the measurements of electrical variables, energy sizing and then making a comparison between the results calculated in the theoretical part and the data obtained in the experimental. One of the most relevant conclusions of the development of the project is that through the design of this system high efficiency is obtained in the lighting system and energy saving since the LED lamp is controlled so that it works according to the given programming, the performance time and the intensity of the luminous flux and through these functions the system allows the battery not to run out during the period of its work, and can store more energy every day without being fully discharged.
