Abstract

The application of Solar Home Systems (SHS) in Brazil is extremely interesting because it allows a distributed electricity production next to consumption, essential to supply remote areas. Considering the Brazilian Amazon Region, where there are many isolated communities, there is a great interest in using PV systems to supply small residences.
