El análisis se realizó considerando cuatro criterios: histórico de citaciones, accesibilidad, amabilidad con el usuario y simulación. Cada uno de estos criterios incluyen aspectos a los cuales se les asignaron puntajes. Finalmente, se realizó la ponderación de los puntajes para definir la herramienta computacional con más ventajas. Los programas para simulación de sistemas fotovoltaicos con más ventajas para la simulación de sistemas fotovoltaicos son el PVSyst y el PV*SOL. Tanto su interfaz, como la información arrojada en la simulación, los hacen herramientas muy completas para el análisis de producción de energía de este tipo de sistemas. Los programas de simulación son necesarios para el análisis de la operación de sistemas fotovoltaicos. Entre los más utilizados se encuentran: PVSyst, PV*SOL, SAM y RETScreen. La evaluación de las herramientas permitió identificar que PV*SOL es el programa con más ventajas y fortalezas.]]></p></abstract>

The analysis was made considering four criteria: historical citations, accessibility, user friendliness and simulation. Each criterion includes aspects which have a score assignation. Finally, a weighing was made to define the computational tool with more advantages. The simulation software with more advantages for photovoltaic system simulation are PVSyst and PV*SOL. Both its interface and the information given in the simulation, made them very complete tools for the analysis of the energy production in this kind of systems. Simulation software are needed for the analysis of the operation of photovoltaic systems. Among the most used are: PVSyst, PV*SOL, SAM and RETScreen.
