Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze the performance of a grid-connected PV system located in the Brazilian Amazon Region. This system is in operation since December 2011 and is located at GEDAE’s Laboratory of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, in the city of Belém, State of Pará, Brazil. It consists in a 3.36 kWp PV generator connected in a 2.8 kW inverter. The paper also presents electricity production and efficiency results obtained with the operation of this system. These results contribute to minimize the lack of operational information about grid-connected PV systems in the region, since almost all grid-connected systems in Brazil are located in the southern, southeastern or northeastern regions. The operational results reported in this paper can contribute to the understanding of PV systems operation in hot and humid climates such as the Amazon Region.
