Abstract
This paper presents the analysis of energy management and financial planning that is carried out in the design and implementation of photovoltaic
systems in urban areas of the city of Barranquilla, Colombia. A questionnaire with a Likert scale and 36 items was designed, which was answered by
subjects with managerial functions of the 16 companies dedicated to the implementation of photovoltaic (PV) projects in Barranquilla. The instrument
was validated by expert judgment with a reliability of 0.84 with Cronbach’s Alpha. For the analysis of results, techniques of central tendency and
variability were used. The results show that energy management in the implementation of PV projects is moderate, indicating that there is no predominant
presence of indicators of improvement and energy performance in these projects. Financial planning has a moderate significance, indicating that the
financial analysis methods that are being used in these PV systems projects have a basic analysis.
