Estudio de factibilidad para la implementación de un sistema fotovoltaico en la industria pastelera: caso pastelería Romannoti – sede Galerias, Bogotá

Abstract

This monograph evaluates the technical, economic, and environmental feasibility of implementing a grid-connected photovoltaic solar system at the Galerías branch of Pastelería Romannoti, located in Bogotá D.C., with the purpose of reducing operating costs, optimizing electricity consumption, and contributing to sustainability in the pastry industry. The methodology included an energy consumption diagnosis, the technical simulation of the proposed system using PV*SOL Premium, an economic assessment, and an environmental impact evaluation. The results show that the proposed system, with an approximate installed capacity of 12.10 kWp, can generate around 18,255 kWh per year, cover nearly 33.5% of the branch’s annual electricity demand, and achieve a Performance Ratio of 84.8%. In addition, the project presents favorable economic indicators, including an internal rate of return of 40.25% and an estimated payback period of 3.2 years, along with an annual emissions reduction of approximately 8.58 tCO₂. In conclusion, the implementation of the photovoltaic system is technically, economically, and environmentally feasible, representing a replicable alternative for small and medium-sized companies in the food sector seeking to improve competitiveness and adopt sustainable production practices
