Photovoltaic system to improve energy efficiency

Renewable energy sources are generation alternatives that can be used for different applications; Systems that take advantage of photovoltaic solar energy can be used to reduce energy demand during daytime hours, electrification of isolated homes, among other applications. In Ecuador there is a high potential for solar radiation, which can also be applied to project systems connected to the electricity grid or in the form of distributed generation, the objective of the research is to demonstrate the potential for solar radiation that affects the province of Manabí, specifically in the site "El Aromo" in the rural area of the city of Manta there is a land that provides the necessary conditions for the installation of a photovoltaic plant, for the development of the work the bibliographic review method was applied, the inductive deductive and synthesis analysis, the results that can be used were obtained from the installation that exists as a base of the 140 houses that consist in the field that belonged to the old project of Refinery del Pacífico.
