Since the year 1996 PRODEEM has bought and installed thousands of photovoltaic systems that are spread around the national territory. In the phases denominated I to V and a special one denominated Pumping, three kinds of autonomous photovoltaic systems were installed: photovoltaic systems for generation of electric energy (energetic), photovoltaic systems for pumping water and for public illumination. The systems were only destined for application in communities, which means that they should benefit the communities as a whole, and not only some individuals in particular. The total of photovoltaic systems installed in this program was 8956, corresponding to a total
power of 5.2 MWe, and it can be considered as one of the largest rural electrification programs that use photovoltaic solar energy in developing countries. Most of the photovoltaic systems were installed in the North and Northeast regions, 1471 and 4577
systems respectively. In the target regions of this project AL, PE and PB 905 systems were installed, in accordance with the MME Electric Energy Atlas [1].
