Abstract

In Ecuador an energy matrix-transforming plan is being executed to eliminate the gas subsidy and use electricity for daily activities instead of it. In this context, a project for the solar panel enterprise creation is posed so that the sanitary water can be heated in the city of Riobamba taking into account that this is an important alternative to create a profitable business and to promote the environmental conservation. Although the initial investment cost in too high for the customers, it is profitable due to further advantages such as zero energy cost and easy maintenance. Having done the theoretical analysis and established a situational diagnosis of financial market viability was determined. There is an unsatisfied demanded of 1,407 potential buyers who are willing to getting these systems According to the technical analysis, it was possible to establish that producing the systems is simple and requires 8 people on plan to produce 600 heaters a year. Thus, 50 percent of the demand will be satisfied. The elements required for the system making are easy to find, and high technology in not required to get a good quality product complying with international regulations. The cost of the product in the market would be 1,040.49 U.D.S wich is lower than the imported systems so a net present value of 109,497 U.D.S can be gotten with an internal rate of return of 26.47 percent and a cost benefit relation of 1.67 U.D.S.
