Abstract

The aim of this research is to analyze how the implementation of photovoltaic solar panels in a Grid-Tie system affects the economic and financial axes in the domestic grid of the city of Campina Grande. As a starting point, it can be seen that discussions ranging from models of panels and converters to how this new alternative source can affect the production of energy from traditional sources and how self-production can affect the consumer's pocket are growing daily and are constant. It is based on these discussions that we find the justification and relevance of the subject, since new means of producing solar energy are appearing with some frequency in the most diverse aspects. Since this research is an exploratory study, its analytical framework is of a descriptive, quantitative and qualitative nature, it should be noted that in order to carry it out, we sought to answer how the use of photovoltaic solar panels economically impacts residential consumers, based on a sample of residential electricity consumption and in a time frame of 12 moving months, for this, the investigation used technical materials, past research, and the application of forms to obtain data.
