Abstract
Introduction. Climate change remains one of the main risk factors for humanity, its effect on the living conditions and activities of all living beings can drastically affect the lifestyle of current ecosystems. Different countries have implemented policies and actions that seek to mitigate the effect of greenhouse gases and their contribution to climate change. Ecuador has implemented policies to reduce the emission of polluting gases, modifying its energy matrix to take advantage of its climatic and geographical conditions, seeking to implement the use of renewable energies such as photovoltaics. Objective. Analyze the potential of electricity generation that can be achieved in the province of Manabí, in the use and exploitation of photovoltaic solar energy. Methodology. The data have been obtained using different databases of solar energy systems, taking values from several decades referring to solar insolation, considering as a sample the main cantons of the province of Manabí; where the electric power generation values that can be achieved in each canton were estimated. Results. The cantons of Manta and Montecristi reach a high level of solar radiation above 1,700 KWh/m2/year; Portoviejo and Jipijapa reach a value higher than 1,600 KWh/m2/year, Chone and El Carmen slightly lower values. Generating per square meter with Silicon panels between 205 to 262 KWh/year Conclusion. Due to its geographical position and climatic conditions, the province of Manabí shows a high potential for the development of self-consumption energy through photovoltaic systems, which allows raising the technical feasibility of installing photovoltaic systems at the level of industries, businesses and homes.
