Photovoltaic Generation System Applied in isolated Communities in the Amazon

Abstract

Spend a dirty and finite energy matrix, whose base is fundamental today for a clean and sustainable generation is a difficult transition. The Amazon can provide relevant services, serving as a model of clean generation from the sun and how this source can help in sustainable development of the region. The aim of the paper is to show the application of photovoltaics in remote regions of the Amazon, which for lack of adequate investments or technical infeasibility of systems integration today, are not used. The methods and techniques were taken from field applications of the Light for All project with the use of Photovoltaic Mini Mills with Minirede Distribution. The results indicate that there is viability of the technology, regardless of the location of the project, indicating the importance for economic and social development of the Amazon region.
