How will photovoltaic energy work in Colombia?

Colombia is just beginning to venture into this type of technology for the use of solar energy and the increase in the electricity supply from photovoltaic systems will be slow, although in the medium term it will focus on solving connection problems electricity presented by rural communities.

Is Colombia a good alternative to solar power?

Despite this, Colombia has a uniform solar radiation potential throughout the year, calculated at 4.5 kWh/m 2, making it a potential alternative for generating electricity through photovoltaic systems.

What research has been done on photovoltaic solar energy?

For the year 2018, research on photovoltaic solar energy continued to be carried out, both about the design of isolated networks, as well as evaluations of solar energy potential and access to supplies for the implementation of this type of technology.

Can silicon cells be used in photovoltaic panels?

In this sense, Ovalle (2014) highlights the use of Silicon cells in photovoltaic panels as one of the most demanded options to take advantage of the technology for converting solar energy into electrical energy, which, as is already known, comes from the collision of photons on free electrons arranged in silicon crystals.

Are photovoltaic solar energy systems a viable alternative to conventional electricity?

From another perspective, Valderrama (2018) studied the supply chain of photovoltaic solar energy systems that has been developing in Colombia in recent years, taking into account the acceptance that it has been gaining as an alternative to conventional electricity generation.

Why did Salamanca design a photovoltaic solar energy system?

For its part, Salamanca (2017) designed a photovoltaic solar energy system to take advantage of the availability of this renewable resource in the city of Bogotá, as well as the availability of new technology and to mitigate the current difficult environmental conditions.
