The current need for the diversification of the Brazilian electricity matrix, the high price of electricity and technological advances, mean that alternative sources of electricity generation become options for the constitution of a diversified electrical matrix. Photovoltaic Systems Connected to the Electric Power Grid (SFVCR) have been perspectives and increasing in recent years in the Brazilian scenario. The use of residential, commercial and industrial roofs in urban centers has become an alternative for the consumer to generate electricity in a distributed way, that is, to generate energy in the very place where it will be consumed and allows the surplus generated to be injected into the electrical network. In this sense, the objective of this work is to perform a comparative analysis of productivity between two SFVCR plants installed in urban residential roofs and in different regions of Brazil. In this work the case study between two photovoltaic systems is presented, where one is installed in the city of Palmas Tocantins in the northern region of the country and the other in the city of Curitiba Paraná in the southern region of the country, the data for the analysis are from the period of January 2017 to December 2017. In which the calculations of productivity, performance and capacity factor of both systems were performed, based on data from solar irradiation made available by the INMET National Meteorological Institute and the Brazilian Atlas of Energy Solar and using RADIASOL software. The study presents the characteristics, the irradiation indexes and factors that influence the generation of each system, identifying the result of each plant during the analyzed period. It was possible to conclude that the installed plant in Palmas - TO obtain an incidence of solar radiation 15,11% more than the plant installed in the city of Curitiba - PR, but the Curitiba plant performance was superior. Concluding that the high temperature in the city of Palmas causes the system to have losses in the generation of electricity, compared to a locality with lower temperatures.
