Technical and economic feasibility study of a solar plant on a commercial surface in Azogues, Ecuador

The submitted paper deals with the shopping mall project that will be supplied solar power. selected location was "La Playa Store" center located in city of Azogues, south Ecuador. This type building has at least two characteristics worth studying i) available surface on roof, ii) energy demand curve. evaluation process establishes requirement installation; is, potential depending its to design a plant according international standards and local ARCONEL 003/18 regulations. tools used for involving simulation were Lumion software, an IFC file created imported into Solarius Pv simulator, software specialized photovoltaic systems. designed system projected annual generation 9,3695.26 kWh; installed price per watt $1.1 viable results end fifth year implementation IRR 7.33% NPV $390.51. As this is commercial facility, constant flat consumption throughout day expected, so implementing would reduce actual power requirements by 32.63%
