Integración de energía solar para la optimización energética, administrativa y financiera bajo la norma ISO 50001:2018

Abstract

CONDITION FOR PUBLICATION OF PROJECT. objective of this study is to develop a sustainable business model that integrates solar energy with the ISO 50001:2018 standard to respond to the dependence on the national electricity grid, climate fluctuations, and high energy costs faced by Ecuadorian companies. The hypothesis is that the combined application of photovoltaic solutions and energy management in accordance with this standard will increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve organizational resilience. The rationale lies in the need to diversify the energy mix, comply with applicable regulations, and promote corporate sustainability. A mixed approach was chosen for the development of the project, combining document analysis, expert interviews, and the development of a structured model based on the Business Model Canvas, adapted to the PDCA cycle of the ISO 50001:2018 standard. The results confirmed the technical, economic, and operational feasibility of the proposal and highlighted the benefits in terms of efficiency, competitiveness, and sustainability. In summary, the model represents a reproducible alternative that allows companies to optimize their energy and environmental performance, comply with international standards, and contribute to sustainable development goals.
