Abstract :
This research work presents a technical and economical analysis of a grid connected photovoltaic system to be installed on the rooftop of an industry in the state of Goias, Brazil. Calculations were made to obtain the system´s potential for photovoltaic power generation, as well as the economic feasibility indicators based on the project´s lifetime, in order to inform investment decisions. Research results have indicated the project is technically feasible but economically unfeasible under current market conditions. A sensitivity analysis was conducted and showed that changes in some parameters can make the project economically feasible.
