Study of Energy Capture with Photovoltaic Cell in Zinc Tile

This study presents a proposal to capture solar energy using photovoltaic cells on zinc tiles. In most existing photovoltaic projects, the implementation of photovoltaic modules requires a suitable roof and structure to house them. In this study, fasteners will be made directly to the tile, without the need for the structure to modify the roof. The most suitable methods for inserting photovoltaic cells into tiles were analyzed, evaluating aspects of layout, reliability, ease of implantation, and better energy capture. Roof prototypes were built with data collection directly from the roof. A structure called a photovoltaic rail has been produced. It can be loaded into most existing zinc roofs without having to insert a structure to protect it. After the production of photovoltaic busbars, their performance was analyzed by collecting voltage data. The results are analyzed by linking them with four seasons in a year, obtaining the results of energy production time, start time and end time of photovoltaic production. Photovoltaic rail structures were evaluated by analysis of possible changes during testing. Photovoltaic drains can be built to the required capacity by simply adding new drains without replacing the existing roof. The study showed satisfactory results, analyzing that in that year the drain structure did not change and the stress measurements remained constant and the study was conducted in four seasons in a year, taking into account various weather conditions.
