Photovoltaic Technical and Economical Study for Medium and Large Agroindustry

Abstract

Renewable energies sources have grown regularly in the last year, because they have been a solution not only for reducing the power expenses but also to be employed in the remote areas and places, moreover, all companies will be obligated to produce or buy clean energy to reach carbon neutral in 2025. Thus, this paper makes the technical and economical analysis of including solar power system in a mayor berries agroindustry. The study includes all considerations the farmers should consider for solar panel installation in order to not only produce for themselves but also sell the surplus to the grid. This is important, since during winter season the irrigation energy requirements is minimal compare with the middle of the summer, and therefore the total amount of produced energy should be sold to the grid in order to improve the investment payback time. The complete analysis is illustrated based on the actual normative and tools to configure solar systems.
