Abstract
Este trabajo de grado tiene como objetivo evaluar cuál de los cuatro sistemas fotovoltaicos instalados en la Institución Universitaria Pascual Bravo es el más eficiente en términos de generación energética y costos operativos. Para ello, se adoptó un enfoque metodológico mixto
que incluyó una revisión documental y la recolección de datos técnicos mediante observación directa, entrevistas y análisis de registros internos. Se aplicaron cálculos energéticos, simulaciones basadas en la irradiación solar histórica y comparaciones de diseño y rendimiento. Los resultados mostraron que el sistema on-grid de mayor capacidad instalado en los bloques 24, 25 y 26, con una potencia total de 137.74 kWp, presenta la mayor eficiencia relativa, generando en promedio 19.412 kWh/mes y contribuyendo a una reducción estimada de 117.4 toneladas de CO₂ al año. Además, se evidenció que el uso de paneles de mayor potencia reduce costos de instalación y mejora la relación costo-beneficio. Se concluye que la adecuada selección de tecnologías y la optimización del diseño fotovoltaico son claves para maximizar el ahorro energético y reforzar el
compromiso institucional con la sostenibilidad ambiental.
Abstract This undergraduate thesis aims to evaluate the efficiency of four photovoltaic systems installed at the Pascual Bravo University Institution, focusing on energy generation and operational costs. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining literature review with empirical data collection through direct observation, technical interviews, and analysis of internal records. Energy production was calculated using standardized formulas, and simulations were conducted based on historical solar irradiation data to compare system performance under varying conditions. The results indicate that the largest on-grid system, located in blocks 24, 25, and 26 with an installed capacity of 137.74 kWp, achieved the highest relative efficiency—producing an average of 19,412 kWh per month and contributing to an annual reduction of approximately 117.4 tons of CO₂. Additionally, the use of higher-power solar panels proved to be more cost-effective by reducing installation complexity and infrastructure requirements. The study concludes that careful technology selection and system design optimization are critical to maximizing energy savings and enhancing the institution’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
