Abstract: This paper analyses the implications of incentives included in Law 1715 for the pre-feasibility of a small-scale wind system and a solar photovoltaic (PV) system for energy self-sufficiency of an average household in four urban locations of Colombia. A meteorological station was implemented at the Universidad Antonio Nariño to obtain measurements including global solar radiation, wind speed and wind direction. For the wind system, a 3.5 kW small-scale wind turbine was considered, while for the solar PV system design, an average household consumption of 200 kW-hours per month and adverse effects from the PV cell temperature were taken into account.
