Resumen
The environmental damage caused by the use of fossil fuels has increased substantially on
the planet, this drives initiatives that promote the use of new non-conventional renewable energy
sources, in this case photovoltaic solar energy. This is a clean energy because it does not produce
environmental pollution and sustainable because the solar resource is present all the time on our
planet. The present work seeks to analyze the generation of electricity through photovoltaic solar
energy, comparing three different systems. For this purpose, three small-scale prototypes of solar
energy collection are analyzed through simulations and measurements, which are: the conventional
fixed system with a panel taking data in a single geographical position all the time, secondly, a
solar tracker of one axis (from east to west) and finally a tracker of all cardinal points (two axes)
is added, to analyze through results the best solar photovoltaic system. Complementarily, an
electrical and economic analysis of the photovoltaic system of the Balzay Campus of the
University of Cuenca is carried out to determine the feasibility of executing studies of solar
photovoltaic micro generation projects considering the regulations of the public service of electric
energy in force in Ecuador, both for companies and conventional houses in the city of Cuenca. In
addition, a small survey is conducted to determine what economic value people would be willing
to pay for a clean electricity service
