“…These modules usually have a very high level of reliability, and generally few problems are associated with them. Failures in PV modules can be linked generally to a poorly made electrical contact or a flaw in the bypass diode . It can be noted that module problems are frequently related to a difference between the peak power value shown in the label product and that attained in experimental practice.…”

In this paper, a reliability analysis of a photovoltaic rural electrification (PVRE) programme is proposed considering the failures in the 13 000 installed Solar Home System (SHS) devices occurring over a long operating period of 5 years. A previous arrangement of the database and a brief explanation of the reliability concepts will serve to introduce the failure distribution of every component, from which the SHS lifetime operating features will be described. An application example will show the usefulness of the obtained results in the forecasting of spare parts during the maintenance period. The conclusions of this study may be useful in the scientific design of PVRE programme maintenance structures, with the goal of shedding some light on the technical management mechanisms in decentralised rural electrification.

“…The LEDs also warn of system malfunctioning, usually by showing a red LED when deep battery discharge, overload or a short circuit occurs. The charge controller is an electronic device, so its faults occur randomly . This means that the failure rate is constant with time.…”

“…Due to the importance of the subject previously mentioned, solar PV energy management has been an important research topic since the 1970s. Between 1990 and 2000, the few articles found were focused on two themes: solar energy for heating [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ], and studies and development of solar energy in advanced countries [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ] aimed at the application of this type of generation. During this period, there were no significant publications regarding energy management because of the recentness of the subject; Significant publications began in early the 2000s [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ].…”

Using the Scopus database between the years of 2000 and 2019, a bibliometric study was done to analyze the scientific publications in the area of photovoltaic solar energy management. From the preliminary analysis of future research tendencies, ten possibilities of study topics were developed; and due to that it was possible to assume that even though many studies of technological development are found, some insights can still be approached in a way that the practical implementation of solar systems photovoltaic is better used. This data was validated by the analysis performed with the Scimat scientific mapping software under a longitudinal structure, verifying the future tendencies researches mentioned previously.

Escribió Galdós que la experiencia es una llama que no alumbra sino quemando. Creo que en mi vida me he chamuscado bastante, pero no lo he hecho solo y por eso tengo que agradecer a muchas personas todo lo que de ellas he aprendido trabajando codo con codo hasta llegar aquí, empezando por Luis Narvarte, mi tutor y director de tesis, alma mater de este trabajo, excelente persona y amigo, quien me animó a emprenderme en esto de investigar y quien siempre ha estado disponible para escuchar, pensar y resolver. A Eduardo Lorenzo, por su experta mirada desde lo alto que tanto ha servido para enderezar mis torcidos renglones. A todos mis compañer@s del grupo de sistemas fotovoltaicos del IES, que forman entre tod@s el más cordial ambiente de camaradería de trabajo que he conocido. A tod@s mis compañer@s de la extinta Isofoton en España y Marruecos con los que trabajé y aprendí muchas más cosas además de fotovoltaica. Y a much@s más, que aunque no mencionados, fueron fuente de iluminación.Agradezco a Isofoton Maroc s.a.r.l. por su colaboración al poner los enormes cimientos en los que se ha basado el trabajo experimental de esta tesis.
