### Energy Generated by Solar Photovoltaic Systems in the Regions of Putumayo
It is evident that the region with the highest energy production is the Amazon region and the municipality with the highest production is Puerto Asis. It was found that in Putumayo a total of 277.7 GWh/year can be generated with this type of solar photovoltaic systems; enough energy to cover the entire energy demand of the department, since according to the SUI report in 2016 in Putumayo a total of 67.0 GWh/year was consumed. Taking into account the SUI report for 2016, and according to the historical data analyzed, this consumption represents 24% of what can be generated in an average year with a solar panel system. Table 9 shows the annual electricity consumption reported by the SUI for each municipality in the department, both for areas connected to the national electricity grid and non-interconnected areas. When reviewing this data, it can be identified that in each region the percentage of consumption is low in relation to what could be generated, thus the Andean region would consume 33.38%, the Andean-Amazon region would consume 28.04%, and the Amazon region would consume 24.14%. \begin{table}

Table 8: Peak power and energy generated in the municipalities and regions of the department of Putumayo. According to the population census of the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) carried out in 2005, for 2018, Putumayo was projected to be inhabited by 358,896 people [35]; and according to the SUI report these people consumed 69,911 MWh/year. Considering the DANE and SUI reports, in Table 10 the consumption per inhabitant of each municipality and the average consumption of the municipalities of Putumayo are reported.
