Technological Development for Off-Grid Housing Units with Integrated Solar Photovoltaic and Energy Storage

ABSTRACTTechnological development for off-grid housing units, integrating photovoltaic solar energy and storage systems, aims to promote energy self-sufficiency in remote areas or regions with limited access to the electrical grid. This approach enables the sustainable provision of clean energy, reducing environmental impacts and enhancing housing resilience. This study adopts a descriptive and exploratory approach, focusing on a systematic literature review and analysis of case studies documented in public sources, such as scientific articles, technical reports, and publications from companies and government agencies. The overall objective of this study is to investigate viable technologies for implementing off-grid housing units in Northeast Brazil, integrating photovoltaic panels and storage systems, with an emphasis on maximizing energy autonomy and overcoming regional challenges. The research highlighted the importance of meticulous adaptation to regional characteristics, particularly in the face of challenges posed by climate variation and the limitations of the local electrical infrastructure, which directly impact the effectiveness and independence of the proposed systems.Keywords: Energy self-sufficiency; Off-grid housing; Photovoltaic solar energy; Regional infrastructure constraints.
