Despite The High Number, Only 1.1% Of The Country’s Energy Consumers Use Solar Generation, According To Absolar

According to a survey conducted by Absolar (Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy), Brazil has surpassed 1 million consumer units with their own energy generation using solar power. In total, the installations account for 8.6 gigawatts (GW) of power, which is equivalent to approximately two-thirds of the generating capacity of the Itaipu Hydroelectric Plant.

A considerable share of this own solar energy generation is concentrated in residences, totaling 76.6% of the total consumers using the technology, according to Absolar.

Following residences, the segments of commerce and services (13.4%), rural producers (7.6%), industries (2.1%), public power (0.3%), and other sectors, such as public services (0.03%) and public lighting (0.01%) follow. Solar energy has seen rapid growth in Brazil over the past few years, influenced both by the installation of small power plants and large enterprises directed at the free energy market.

What To Expect For The Year 2022

For the year 2022, Absolar’s expectation is that solar energy will nearly double in installed capacity compared to 2021, driven by the new legal framework and consumer demand for alternatives to minimize electricity costs.

It is forecasted that more than 11.9 GW of power will be added through small to large enterprises in 2022, compared to the 13 GW currently in place. According to Absolar’s estimates, out of the R$ 50.8 billion expected to be invested this year, distributed generation will account for a value close to R$ 40.6 billion. Although the sector is expanding, Absolar points out that Brazil is still lagging in terms of solar energy adoption.

“Of the more than 89 million electricity consumers in the country, only 1.1% are using the sun to produce clean, renewable, and competitive energy”, states Absolar in a note.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

Brazil has 8.4 million illiterates and more than half live in the Northeast, where 10.6% of people cannot read or write a simple note, compared to 2.3% in the Southeast, according to the Pnad Contínua Educação 2025 from IBGE.

A black box made of steel and concrete, about 16 meters in size, is being installed in a remote location on Earth to record in real-time the progress of the climate crisis and the potential collapse of the planet, with data from space and meteorological agencies worldwide.

Peugeot 408 Griffe 2015 combines a turbo engine, 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, a 526-liter trunk larger than many compact SUVs, leather, multimedia, cruise control, and a sunroof, but it remains off the radar among fully equipped used cars.

A great economist predicted that by 2030 we would work only 15 hours a week, and John Maynard Keynes’s forecast is about to fail miserably almost 100 years later.
