The inclusion of photovoltaic energy in the Colombian energy matrix has had several difficulties due to the lack of energy policies and regulations
in renewable energy projects. The lack of government support with subsidies that extend the coverage of PV energy projects in residential areas has
made the collection of funds more challenging. This paper presents a techno-economic analysis for the implementation of grid-connected photovoltaic
projects on the roofs of residential areas, under the net metering policy framework. For the profitability analysis, the discounted cash flow (DCF)
method was used. The revenues were obtained from the forecasts of the electrical power production of the PV system, based on the characteristics of
the Colombian Caribbean Region. For this purpose, the meteorological data (2013-2017) of this region were used as an input for the calculation of
the economic benefits that can be achieved with the implementation of PV systems. Based on the technical sizing and economic assumptions, it was
proved that the DCF method allows to accurately determine the optimal debt ratio. After evaluating the three scenarios proposed, it was demonstrated
that profitability and self-sustainability, with investment from creditors, is obtained from the implementation of PV systems of at least 3 kWp.
