Abstract

This documents the current state of the photovoltaic systems for public lighting in the side avenue of Loja, Ecuador. It aims to identify the principal causes of its low performance during night hours that affects the citizens and the university community since this avenue is an alternative route that links several sectors of Loja city. On the other hand, the grouping of data collected through the application of a survey of residents near the avenue made it possible to identify their degree of satisfaction with the installed lighting. The main conclusions of this study suggest that the constant maintenance of photovoltaic systems must be taken into account when they are exposed to the open air, as well as the environmental conditions under which they work; in this case, they work with a changing climate.
