Análise da viabilidade econômica da implementação de sistema fotovoltaico em uma fábrica de produtos de limpeza em Maceió – AL

Abstract

With the advancement of technology, the demand for electricity has increased significantly. For this reason, the search for clean energy sources has intensified worldwide, since the substitution of fossil fuels with renewable sources is of global interest. Brazil, with high levels of solar incidence, is an ideal territory for industries to adopt the use of solar panels as a source of clean and renewable electricity. In this scenario, this work aims to analyze the economic viability of this implementation. In order to evaluate the profitability of the investment, financial indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and discounted payback were used. In addition, Monte Carlo simulation was employed to perform thousands of simulations using the @Risk software, which also generated histograms and relevant statistical information such as mean, mode, maximum and minimum values, and standard deviation. Based on these results, it was concluded that the implementation of the photovoltaic system is profitable in any scenario, even considering different investment values and analyzed scenarios.
