Resumen
Peru is a country with plenty of renewable energy sources. However, its power demand depends on
more than 50% of fossil fuels. Specifically, the power coming from the sun only represents 1% of the
Peruvian energy matrix even though the territory has high radiation indexes. Therefore, the current
analysis aims to search for the research situation of photovoltaic energy. Hence, this research looked
for literature from RENATI and EBSCO, which provided 398 pieces of academic investigation. After
applying the Prisma methodology to select the most relevant thesis and papers, we analyzed 48
elements. We found that the on-grid technology was the most viable in economic terms for projects
related to business and electrification. At the same time, off-grid systems have been preferred for
sanitation applications. Nonetheless, all the reviewed literature showed that photovoltaic technology
positively impacted the environment and was as effective as conventional sources.
