Abstract

This research study addresses the optimal use of solar panels to improve the quality of electric power service in order to increase the energy supply for commercial use in a Peruvian town in the Ancash region of the highlands, Peru. The applied methodology was applied under the technological cut. The research design was pre-experimental because there was no control group, but the results obtained were quantified. The study was carried out in a rural area with a total of 118 houses. Information on electricity demand in units of kilo watt hours per day for a period of 1 year was used by means of an annual load diagram of the concessionary company Hidrandina. The project requirements included the use of monocrystalline solar panels of 500 Watts and 42.8 volts. After the implementation of the project, the efficiency of the implemented photovoltaic system was analyzed, which yielded a result of 2%. It was concluded that the use of solar panels in rural areas improves the quality of electric power service.
