The objective of the research was to design a Box Behnken system to optimize the performance of a peak photovoltaic solar system in the Mantaro Valley under conditions of high population density. For this, the system was located in a zone of moderate urban density in the city of Huancayo, Junín region, in the central region of Peru with coordinates 12 ° 03'29.0 "S 75 ° 13'12.9" W. Measurements were made in the regional summer season. The variables evaluated for optimization in the Behnken Box Design were: orientation, angle of inclination of the solar panel and time of exposure. Behavior was modeled using the response surface for single and combined variables, comparing the variation in the potential difference (V). The results showed that the variable of greatest significance for the potential variation was the angle of inclination, with a standardized effect of 3.48 and 95% signific...

Among solar energy technologies, differences exist in terms of costs, performance, and environmental sustainability. Flatplate solar collectors, solar towers, and parabolic dish systems offer high thermal efficiency and versatility, but they may be more costly and bulky compared to other collector models. This study focused on evaluating the efficiency of a cylindrical parabolic collector (CPC) for the production of domestic hot water in a high Andean region of Peru, using the F-Chart method. Its performance was estimated considering the energy demand for hot water in a single-family home with four occupants, in accordance with national regulations and international recommendations. Additionally, the collector area, water temperature, and incident solar radiation were determined based on meteorological data obtained using the PVsyst software. On the other hand, the F-Chart methodology wa...
