The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is a flexible instrument presented in the Kyoto Protocol for projects to reduce the emission of Greenhouse Gases. This article aims to study the use and feasibility of CDM projects in photovoltaic systems. The CDM methodology required for grid-connected renewable energy generation was used, calculated as CO2 emission reductions and as Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) to determine the photovoltaic generation needed to obtain viable CDM projects. An application of the CDM project presents economic feasibility to the photovoltaic generation project even though it does not change a difference in economic terms considering the economic indicators calculated without the CDM. The lowest profitability obtained without and with the application of the CDM was, respectively, 243% and 102%, considering the total useful life of the photovoltaic project of 25 years. It can be considered that these results would present a more important difference in generations superior to the present study.
