Descripción
Introducción: La energía solar fotovoltaica constituye una alternativa tecnológica para la reducción de emisiones y el uso sostenible de los recursos energéticos. En Colombia, su implementación resulta especialmente pertinente debido a los altos niveles de radiación solar. La adopción de energías renovables en instituciones educativas contribuye a la sostenibilidad ambiental, debido a la reducción de emisiones de CO₂, atenuar los efectos del cambio climático y mejorar la calidad de vida. Dado que el funcionamiento de un laboratorio de prótesis dental implica un consumo energético considerable, se identificó la pertinencia de evaluar alternativas sostenibles que beneficien a la institución, la región y el país. Desde el ámbito profesional, esta iniciativa contribuye a la sostenibilidad ambiental mediante la incorporación de tecnologías limpias. Objetivo: Determinar la viabilidad técnica y energética de un sistema fotovoltaico mediante una prueba piloto en laboratorios dentales universitarios. Metodología: Estudio cuantitativo, observacional descriptivo; se evaluó el consumo energético, se instaló un sistema fotovoltaico de 0,66 kWp y se realizó monitoreo durante 14 meses. Resultados: El sistema generó 1 113,48 kWh y evitó la emisión de 408,57 kg de CO₂, cubriendo el 2,2 % del consumo mensual del laboratorio. Conclusiones: La prueba piloto confirma la viabilidad técnica del sistema fotovoltaico, su aporte ambiental y su utilidad como herramienta educativa, aunque se requiere una mayor capacidad instalada para impactos energéticos significativos.
Introduction: Photovoltaic solar energy is a technological alternative for reducing emissions and promoting the sustainable use of energy resources. In Colombia, its implementation is particularly relevant due to the high levels of solar radiation. The adoption of renewable energy in educational institutions contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing CO₂ emissions, mitigating the effects of climate change, and improving quality of life. Given that the operation of a dental prosthesis laboratory involves considerable energy consumption, the need to evaluate sustainable alternatives that benefit the institution, the region, and the country was identified. From a professional perspective, this initiative contributes to environmental sustainability through the incorporation of clean technologies. Objective: To determine the technical and energy feasibility of a photovoltaic system through a pilot test in university dental laboratories. Methodology: A quantitative, observational, descriptive study was conducted; energy consumption was evaluated, a 0.66 kWp photovoltaic system was installed, and monitoring was carried out for 14 months. Results: The system generated 1,113.48 kWh and prevented the emission of 408.57 kg of CO₂, covering 2.2% of the laboratory's monthly energy consumption. Conclusions: The pilot test confirms the technical feasibility of the photovoltaic system, its environmental contribution, and its usefulness as an educational tool, although greater installed capacity is required for significant energy impacts.
