Abstract

In Colombia, the area of the zones not interconnected to the electricity grid corresponds to 50%, in particular, in the department of Putumayo there is a low coverage index. On the other hand, the potential in solar energy is considered high, however, in regions such as Putumayo, due to the geographical differences of its subregions, its value is unknown. In this investigation the effective potential for the solar electric generation in the Putumayo was determined considering technical and geographical restrictions from the information of multiple databases. It was found that the highest effective solar potential occurs in the Amazon region, and the lowest in the Andean region. On the other hand, when evaluating the electricity consumption of the regions, it is concluded that this need can be met with photovoltaic systems by producing self-generation electricity and distributed generation.
