This research work aimed to analyze the prospects for photovoltaic solar energy in Colombia. In the results, as a first measure, a conceptualization of solar energy, the development of photovoltaic panels, and the conditions required for installing this type of electricity generation module were carried out.
In this sense, Serrano (2017b) carried out in Colombia an analysis of the use of solar energy for the future of the country as part of the general concern for the increase in the emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere and that it can boost energy supply through renewable sources.
Pre-feasibility of wind and solar systems for residential self-sufficiency in four urban locations of Colombia: implication of new incentives included in Law 1715 Renew. Energy, 130 ( 2019), pp. 1082 - 1091, 10.1016/j.renene.2018.06.087
Net-metering can act as an enabler of deployment of household PV in Colombia. Colombia faces several challenges to secure a reliable, affordable, and climate-friendly energy supply. Persistently low reserve-to-production ratios in oil and gas, together with advancing climate change, are putting the country’s energy system at risk.
Despite this, Colombia has a uniform solar radiation potential throughout the year, calculated at 4.5 kWh/m 2, making it a potential alternative for generating electricity through photovoltaic systems.
Taking into account that Colombia is mostly a desert area, what was presented above confirms the deficit of photovoltaic development in the ZNIs, that underutilize the solar resource and the great territorial extension. 4. Future picture of the solar energy
