• Abstract: Abstract At present, supercapacitors are being the subject of exhaustive research as a new type of alternative storage device to batteries, due to the advantages they present with respect to batteries, among these are high energy power, instantaneous charge, and discharge and at the same time stability after long cycles of use. The objective is to demonstrate the usefulness of supercapacitors as storage systems in isolated photovoltaic systems. The bibliographic review was used as a methodology that helped to search for the necessary information to compare supercapacitors as storage systems with respect to batteries, as well as experimental and field work. The design resulted in a storage source with supercapacitors, using an isolated photovoltaic system as a generation source to supply a home in the rural area, a field study was carried out for the load and demand analysis with which the data required to carry out the design of the storage system was obtained, in addition a prototype of smaller scale was developed to perform different tests, it was concluded that the supercapacitors are a viable alternative Energy in the isolated photovoltaic facilities that could be used in areas of difficult access to the electricity network.
