Abstract
This article presents a methodology for the design of Grid-tie photovoltaic systems using computational tools for 3D modeling, in order to have a clearer vision of installation and with the purpose of acquiring the detailed material of what is required to have a more successful initial investment for a project. As a methodological test, a solar power plant is designed on the buildings of the Faculty of Electromechanical Engineering in Manzanillo Colima. For this purpose, the Sketchup and Helioscope softwares are used to obtain the installed capacity of the buildings, selecting the solar modules, inverters and the quantity in meters of accessories such as cable, pipe, etc. SolidWorks is used to design the assembly system and obtain the amount of material with screws included and thus make a much more accurate calculation of the initial investment required.
