Estudio de factibilidad financiera para la implementación de un sistema de iluminación con energía solar de la Fundación Universitaria Católica Lumen Gentium

Abstract

The public services of Unicatólica handle considerable costs, since it is located in the Pance sector of the city of Cali, which is stratified in level 6, due to its geographical location tends to have temporary energy suspensions for different circumstances. Because of these electrical problems the university has an electric power plant, which increases costs with maintenance and frequent purchase of fuel (ACPM) for the implementation of the same.

The present study shows the financial feasibility of the Lumen Gentium Catholic University Foundation for decision making, by implementing a solar energy lighting system, which was achieved by quantifying the current costs of conventional energy, quantifying the costs of the implementation of a solar energy lighting system and the financial evaluation of the project.

This study was carried out due to the change that is taking place at the global level in which clean energy sources are being implemented, in order to contribute to the growth of the university and demonstrate interest in this type of lighting systems.

As a methodology, it was started by raising the relevant information of the costs of the current services, that of EMCALI, which is the conventional service of public infrastructure and the power plant as alternative energy, the average consumption of only the one related to campus lighting was raised. , to then investigate the estimated cost of a solar system that allows to solve this service, and thus achieve through the cash flows an estimate of the feasibility through the different quantified costs
