Photovoltaic systems are capable of directly capturing sunlight and producing electric current through photovoltaic solar panels. This current is driven by current controllers and converters, and can be stored in batteries or connected directly to the power grid. In the oil sector, photovoltaic systems can help produce electricity for oil wells by converting sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. Considering the importance of photovoltaic systems in the generation of energy, the objective of this paper is to idealize and size two photovoltaic solar energy units, one off grid and another on grid, capable of meeting the electric demand of a petroleum field composed of ten wells that use sucker-rods pumping as an artificial lifting method for the production of hydrocarbons. The study in question was designed for a field of production located in the Northeast of Brazil. Photovoltaic solar systems present themselves as an excellent alternative of generation of energy necessary to feed the studied oil wells due to its versatility of applications. In this work, 780 panels (off grid system) and 672 panels (on grid system) were used to supply electric power to motors, from 3 hp, to 10 pumping units.
