Solar energy and distribution logistics of photovoltaic systems: a bibliometric analysis/Energia solar e logistica de distribuicao de sistemas fotovoltaicos: uma analise bibliometrica/Energia solar y logistica de distribucion de sistemas fotovoltaicos: un analisis bibliometrico

In Brazil, interest in the use of solar energy through photovoltaic generators has been increasing. However, distributors of photovoltaic systems have faced significant logistical challenges, including the size of the equipment, difficult access to certain delivery locations, and vehicle conditions. Within this context, this study aimed to analyze scientific production on the distribution logistics of photovoltaic systems from 2018 to 2022. A bibliometric study was conducted using the Scopus and ScienceDirect databases, employing search terms such as importer, distributor, wholesale, photovoltaic panel, photovoltaic, logistics and Brazil, alongside variations of these terms. From the analysis of 22 selected articles, the results indicated that no document directly addressed the distribution logistics of solar generators. Nevertheless, the articles analyzed provided valuable insights into the utilization of solar energy, distribution methods in urban and rural areas, and the regulatory framework governing the requirements for photovoltaic system usage. These findings can be used as a reference for investors, companies within the solar energy sector, and governmental authorities. Keywords: Renewable Energy. Solar energy. Bibliometric Study. Brazil. No Brasil, tem aumentado o interesse pelo uso da energia solar atraves de geradores fotovoltaicos. No entanto, os distribuidores de sistemas fotovoltaicos tem enfrentado desafios logisticos importantes, devido, entre outros fatores, as dimensoes dos equipamentos, ao dificil acesso a alguns locais de entrega e as condicoes dos veiculos. Inserido neste contexto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a producao cientifica sobre a logistica de distribuicao de sistemas fotovoltaicos no periodo de 2018 a 2022. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo bibliometrico nas bases de dados Scopus e Science Direct, sendo utilizados os termos de busca importer, distributor, wholesale, photovoltaic panel, photovoltaic, logistic e Brazil, alem de algumas variacoes desses termos. Atraves da analise de 22 artigos selecionados, os resultados indicaram que nenhum documento estava diretamente relacionado a logistica de distribuicao de geradores solares, porem, contribuiam com informacoes relevantes relacionadas ao uso de energia solar, as formas de distribuicao nas areas urbanas e rurais, bem como as regulamentacoes que norteiam as necessidades para o uso de sistemas fotovoltaicos. Esses resultados podem ser usados como referencia p
