Abstract

This research was carried out to clarify doubts about whether it is economically profitable to install solar energy in a single-family home with access to the electrical grid? with the objectives of analyzing costs, comparing savings and identifying the economic and financial incentives of the same. The methodology used was documentary, giving as a finding that since it is a clean energy, it is necessary to improve the way of storing the collected energy since the one currently used carries risks. In the current Panamanian market, these installations are not very advantageous for urban areas but would be much more feasible in rural areas where there is no access to the common electrical grid, since this technology is not economically accessible to all customers.
