Abstract

Introduction. Technological development is an important part of the global framework of our development, in addition to negatively affecting all ecosystems, we also consume a large part of the resources. Therefore, fundamental measures must be taken to counteract this reality. One of these actions is the application of more self-sustainable constructions in current homes, such as photovoltaic panels. Objective. Evaluate the profitability of the application of the photovoltaic panel system with a view to the sustainability of the building in an economic way. Methodology. In the present study, it was based on the elaboration of an Excel book in which the different calculation methods of the sustainability system are applied based on subsequent comparisons of the behavior of the photovoltaic panels, as previously mentioned it was established in 4 different areas of the country that is Costa; Sierra Oriente and Insular, based on the solar radiation of each area. Results. Among the results in the areas where the implementation of photovoltaic energy occurs based on the average consumption per dwelling, it is not economically feasible, given that to recover the initial investment, the useful life of the equipment is exceeded, which is 20 years. which accumulated savings reaches a value of 8,046.36 USD and recovering the investment at 31 years. Conclution. As for the generation of energy in our country, it is at its peak, so it is not necessary to install photovoltaic panels in places where electricity is generated in a sustainable way, except for affordable electricity. However, the effectiveness of implementing these systems lies in areas where they cannot be accessed.
