Estudio de factibilidad a la importación de paneles solares desde China para comercializarse en la provincia de El Oro en el año 2024.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to conduct a cost feasibility analysis to determine the convenience of importing solar panels from China for commercialization in the province of El Oro in 2024. The research examines key factors such as import costs, the quality and availability of solar panels in the Chinese market, local demand, and applicable Ecuadorian regulations. Additionally, the economic and environmental benefits that their implementation could generate in the region will be evaluated, considering their impact on reducing energy costs and promoting the use of clean energy, contributing to sustainable development. Using a mixed methodological approach, which includes theoretical and empirical analyses, methods such as observations and interviews with experts in the energy and commercial sectors were employed, allowing for the identification of opportunities and challenges for local traders interested in distributing these products. Additionally, logistical, tariff, and transportation costs will be analyzed, fundamental elements in determining the profitability of the importation, as well as delivery times and potential risks in the supply chain. The results obtained will provide a detailed understanding of the dynamics of the solar panel market in the province of El Oro, highlighting both the opportunities and possible limitations for the importation and commercialization of these products. This study also analyzes the available supply in the Chinese market, assessing the quality and competitiveness of suppliers, as well as the costs associated with importation, including taxes and customs fees. Furthermore, trade barriers and current regulations in Ecuador that could influence the project's viability are examined. Finally, conclusions based on the research findings will be presented, determining whether the importation and commercialization of solar panels in the province of El Oro is viable in economic, logistical, and regulatory terms.
