Description

To accomplish this work, it was necessary to
perform a survey about studies on the economic viability
of the use of photovoltaic panels. This investigation was
carried out by a literature review, which is essential to
provide theoretical support for future researches. This
work aims at conducting an analysis on the subject in
works that approach the economic viability and the use of
solar panels, from a previous set of bibliographic
references to assist the theory contribution of this work.
The webibliomining was adopted to perform the mining of
the bibliographic sources that compose this systematized
review of literature based on search tools and access to
bibliographic information on the Internet. Scopus
Elsevier database was chosen, as it is the most
comprehensive one concerning the other ones. The search
terms applied were (“solar photovoltaic system board”
OR “pv” AND “economic viability”) in the following
fields: title, abstract, and keywords. This study also
focuses on research relevance for companies interested in
using the photovoltaic panels. Results points out that the
United States is the country that publishes the most about
the subject, as well as the area that publishes is Energy. It
is also noticed that Brazil is among the countries of most
interest in such issue. In this way, it is concluded that the
analysis of the sample of articles found and analyzed here
shows that solar energy has increased visibility and has
been applied in domestic, rural, commercial, and
industrial plants. Nonetheless, there is also a lack of
incentives or tax credit to make this power source
competitive and viable.
Keywords— Webblioming; Economic viability;
