ESTUDO DE VIABILIDADE ECONÔMICA PARA IMPLANTAÇÃO DE CARPORT FOTOVOLTAICO NO ESTACIONAMENTO DO HOSPITAL MUNICIPAL DE MONTIVIDIU-GO

Abstract

This study analyzed the economic feasibility of implementing a photovoltaic carport at the Municipal Hospital of Montividiu, Goiás, Brazil, based on the estimation of the required investment and the assessment of its financial returns. To this end, the hospital’s average monthly electricity consumption was surveyed, the parking spaces were dimensioned, and quotations were obtained from specialized companies. The economic analysis was conducted using the Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and discounted Payback Period indicators. The results demonstrated that all analyzed proposals were economically feasible, presenting positive Net Present Value, an Internal Rate of Return higher than the minimum attractiveness rate, and a maximum investment payback period of four years and one month. Based on these results, it is concluded that the implementation of a photovoltaic carport constitutes a technically and economically feasible alternative, contributing to the reduction of electricity expenditures, improvement of hospital infrastructure, and more efficient allocation of public resources.
