Barreiras e desafios da implementação de painéis fotovoltaicos em Curitiba

Abstract

The growing need of the implementation of efficient and ecological alternative sources in the energy matrix to meet the increased demand for electricity, justifies the importance of using photovoltaic systems in power generation. This paper studies which are the main barriers and set up challenges for the massive implementation of this technology in the city of Curitiba, once its advantages are easily recognized. In this matter, field researches were conducted with two distinct groups, first with consumers who already had photovoltaic systems in their facilities, considered as generating consumers, and then with non-generating consumers, ie those who do not use photovoltaics panels in their homes, businesses or industries. Thus, it was possible to identify deadlocks, benefits and doubts in both scenarios. In order to understand the current situation of photovoltaic generation in the state of Paraná and its capital, an analysis was made using the information provided by ANEEL, regarding the installed power, number of units, classes, etc., as well as a detailed study of the composition of an electricity bill for a photovoltaic generating unit in the city of Curitiba. Through the studies performed, the interpretation of the ANEEL database and the information collected through the field researches, it is concluded that the disinformation, align with costs, are the main challenges to potentialize the implementation of photovoltaics energy in Curitiba.
