Resumen:
The mathematical model of a single photovoltaic cell is used to built a numerical simulator of a residential solar generator. For the city of Santa Fe (Argentina), the following is analyzed: i) weather information on solar irradiances and ambient temperatures collected along the years 2008-2014; ii) the effect of the orientation assigned to the solar panels; and iii) the average household electricity consumption. It is proven that the annual energy uptake is maximized with an optimal panel inclination angle of 27. Then, two solar generation systems suitable for residential users are proposed. The possibility of providing surplus electricity to the local distribution network under a net balance policy is analyzed. The results indicate that an installed capacity of 1,290 W (9 m2 of panels) can cover around 60% of the household annual electricity consumption. Moreover, the total energy coverage is achieved with an installed power of 2,150 W (15 m2 of panels).
