This document focuses on solar energy generation, specifically on the optimum point of power delivered by the photovoltaic panel. To reach the end of the study, it is necessary to develop a mathematical model, which must be followed sequentially; it is based initially on the solar model of Liu & Jordan, which allows a study of the amount of incident irradiance on an inclined surface. Followed by dirt as a diffuse variable, how it affects the panel. In addition, climatic variables such as temperature and humidity are considered, variables necessary to obtain the optimum power point. The proposed mathematical model aims to determine the inclination and orientation of the highest solar radiation capture on an inclined surface. Additionally, how to minimize losses due to dirt and climatic variables as they affect their impact on the efficiency of the panel. Finally, based on the aforementioned parameters, results are shown under three considerations: for the data obtained by the UPS meters, inclination and orientation obtained with a compass and inclinometer, the result calculated under the current conditions of the site and finally the calculation under optimum conditions, this determines the optimum power point.
