MALDONADO ALVIAREZ, Luz Elena e MALDONADO, José Luciano. Design and simulation of a photovoltaic plant for maximum use of the solar resource in the Toluviejo municipality of Colombia. uct [online]. 2024, vol.28, n.125, pp.47-59. Epub 05-Fev-2025.

Currently, there are various technologies for constructing photovoltaic plants including monofacial and bifacial photovoltaic panels, centralized and string type inverters, and fixed mounting structures with light followers, to build electrical energy generation systems. This work reviewed the advantages and disadvantages between these technologies, and the implementation of a photovoltaic plant in Toluviejo, Colombia was proposed. To justify and confirm the design, simulations were carried out with the PVsyst software, resulting in the bifacial panels, centralized inverters, and structures with light followers, the most effective solution, and with the highest production for the proposed photovoltaic power generation plant.
