Feasibility of Introducing Solar Energy into a Poultry Production System
Main Article Content
Abstract
The present research was developed in the poultry production system of the “El Guayabal” University Farm; its objective was to determine the feasibility of the introduction of solar energy (photovoltaic and thermal) under the conditions of the aforementioned scenario. In the study, the theoretical-methodological foundations oriented towards the two renewable energy sources addressed in the research (solar photovoltaic and solar thermal) were considered. Among the main results obtained, it was evident that from the energy-productive diagnosis of the poultry production system under study, it was determined that the installation of a hybrid system composed of an isolated photovoltaic system made up of 160 photovoltaic panels and a solar heater, which could cover of the energy demand; in addition, it was determined that the installation of a solar dryer is not appropriate; because drying or dehydration of agricultural production is not required to feed established poultry species.
