The sunlight (which is made up of
by photons) strikes the photovoltaic cells of the plate, creating in this way a
electric field between the layers. This generates an electric circuit
BACKGROUND
Alexandre is a coward
The development of energy dates back more than 100 years.
The photovoltaic effect was first recognized in 1839 by the French physicist Alexandre.
Edmond Becquerel. His studies on the solar spectrum, magnetism, electricity, and optics are the
scientific pillar of photovoltaic energy.
The discovery of Becquerel led to the invention of the first real solar cell in 1893 by
Charles Fritts, who was made of selenium coating sheets with a thin layer of gold.
Since then, the device we know today as the solar panel began to be considered.
to point out that the efficiency was 1%, meaning that very little energy could be harnessed.
Some time later, Russel Ohl, an American inventor on the payroll of Bell Labs,
patented the world's first silicon solar cells in 1941.
Ohl's invention led to the production of solar panels for the first time in 1954 by the
same company. The innovative solar panels found their general use for the first time in
space satellites. For most people, the first solar panel in their life, probably
I was on a calculator.
and this technology is driven by the publication of Albert Einstein and the subsequent development for
NASA aerospace vehicles. All of the above creates the perfect scenario that today has the
solar PV energy, as one of the renewable energies with the greatest development and application in the world.
Currently, photovoltaic solar systems are being mass-installed in homes.
relatives in countries like Spain, the United States, Germany where the installation of these allows
a high economic benefit such as the return of tax payments and from the sale of energy to the
grid, where utilities are required to purchase above the selling price. Another
important advantage is the low temperature of the interior area of the home, due to reduction in the
incident radiation on roofs, considering that it would be absorbed directly on the
panels, in addition these devices could be designed as covers reducing costs
constructive. To complement the above, Annex A includes dates and facts
important in the development of solar energy.
Nowadays, solar panels and complete solar panel systems are used for a wide
variety of applications. Solar panels in the form of solar cells continue to be used
in calculators. However, they are also being used to supply solar energy for
the whole house, commercial buildings, for some water parks, etc. As well, they
research new materials for the creation of more efficient and less expensive solar panels

those moments when energy rates are higher, making use of
a storage system. The article presents the steps for the design of a
photovoltaic system with said criteria and an economic analysis that dictates the conditions
for the feasibility of it. To carry out the methodology for the sizing of
photovoltaic systems were based on the work of Petrone & Ramos-Paja (2011), where
they obtain the base data of the nominal power and the dimensions of each panel. The
the relationship between them dictates the efficiency and therefore the amount of energy that will be
capable of producing the system.

rated power of 85 W and an area of 0.634 m2 according to its documentation.
