Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the economic viability for the investment in a solar energy system in a factory of yoghurt, small businesses located in the interior of the state of Minas Gerais. A survey was done of spending by the company with power during the last 12 (twelve) months in order to assess the amount of kWh monthly expenditures, and consequently the amount disbursed by the organization. This project has a useful life of 25 years and has 10 years of guarantee of the company specializing in solar energy. However, through spreadsheets, it was found that the VPL shall be 4 years and 4 months, i.e., the entire investment made will be paid in this period, and after this phase, the project will start to provide profits. In short, the investment proved very beneficial, being feasible in the effectuation of the equipment and the use of solar energy.

Keywords
