Sustainable development is a present issue in world society and it is also a strategic challenge for Cape Verde’s energy policy in coming years because the large fragilities in the electrical system in Cape Verde such as, dependence on imports of fuels, geographical dispersion, the high costs associated with managing energy systems and the great energy waste. The bet on photovoltaic systems may be one of the alternatives to reducing these fragilities. In this context, the present work highlights the great existent potential for use of renewable energy focused on solar energy. The text describes incentives for the production of electric energy based on renewable sources and presents analyses on the implementation of two grid-connected photovoltaic systems in the island of São Vicente. One of the systems is a photovoltaic rooftop 19.8 kWp plant installed in a public secondary school building and the other system is 3 MWp photovoltaic power plant connected to electrical utility grid in São Vicente Island. The study included design, operation simulation of São Vicente Island distribution network in the presence and absence of photovoltaic systems and financial analyses in order to determine payback time, actual present value, intern return rate of investment and financial sensibility analyses to assess the influence of Wp cost and interest rate on the financial figures. The results show that the implementation of photovoltaic systems is attractive in financial and technical terms, the microgeneration system causes a large reduction in energy acquired by the network, and the large power plant has not worsened the appropriate operating voltage levels and decreased the system's active losses.
