Abstract
El presente estudio tuvo como propósito evaluar la viabilidad de implementar un sistema de energía solar en la empresa HATSA, enfocado al proceso de fabricación de cajas para cigarros, con el fin de reducir costos energéticos y mejorar la operatividad ante las constantes interrupciones en el suministro eléctrico. La investigación se desarrolló bajo un enfoque mixto, utilizando encuestas como instrumento principal y aplicando metodologías específicas para abordar los análisis de mercado, técnico y financiero. Los resultados indicaron que el sistema propuesto podría cubrir hasta un 92 % de la demanda energética del proceso productivo, generando un ahorro frente al consumo actual y disminuyendo la dependencia de generadores de combustible. El análisis financiero reflejó indicadores positivos, como un VAN y una TIR superior al costo de capital, lo que respaldó la factibilidad financiera del proyecto. Se concluyó que la implementación del sistema fotovoltaico resulta técnica, financiera y estratégicamente viable, por lo que se recomendó su ejecución como una solución rentable para la empresa.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a solar energy system in the HATSA company, focused on the cigar box manufacturing process, in order to reduce energy costs and improve operability in the face of continuous interruptions in the electricity supply. The research was developed under a mixed approach, using surveys as the main instrument and applying specific methodologies to address market, technical and financial analyses. The results indicated that the proposed system could cover up to 92% of the energy demand of the production process, generating savings compared to current consumption and reducing dependence on fuel generators. The financial analysis showed positive indicators, such as NPV and IRR above the cost of capital, which supported the financial feasibility of the project. It was concluded that the implementation of the photovoltaic system is technically, financially and strategically feasible, and its implementation was recommended as a profitable solution for the company.
