Implementation of a photovoltaic solar energy project in a federal building in São Paulo

Abstract

Introduction: The right to have access to electricity is a global issue of paramount importance, including the United Nations (UN) highlights the issue as a goal within SDG 07, and to meet this goal, continuous efforts are required from the scientific community in search for renewable, efficient and economical alternatives for electric power generation.

Objectives: To analyze the photovoltaic solar energy project developed for a federal building.

Methodology: For the study, a theoretical research was carried out from a literature review on photovoltaic solar energy, later a study of the CMSP project.

Originality/Relevance: The literature review highlights the Brazilian electrical matrix as sustainable, however extremely dependent on the hydroelectric source. Based on this scenario, it is necessary to analyze the diversification of the matrix to meet the demand for electricity.

Results: The results showed that the development of buildings that incorporate the implementation of the photovoltaic solar system in their design, contributes to savings of public investments, reducing the use of electricity from conventional consumption.

Social/Management Contributions: The importance of public policies for the diversification of the matrix and the implementation of projects in public buildings is highlighted, serving as an example for society.
