Solar Photovoltaic Sector Grows, Generates Around Two Hundred Thousand Jobs and Attracts Investments to Brazil. Points Out ABSOLAR Data

According to the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (ABSOLAR), there are currently more than 300,000 distributed generation photovoltaic systems connected to the country’s power grid. In total, there are 3.6 GW of installed distributed generation capacity, responsible for generating two hundred thousand jobs in Brazil.

The solar energy source is one of the fastest-growing in the country; since 2012 and even during the pandemic, the sector grew 45% in the first half and generated 47 thousand new jobs. The future is promising but faces factors such as the dollar and logistics. The installations of photovoltaic solar energy are a trend in Brazil and worldwide.

ABSOLAR ensures that the average remuneration of jobs generated by the sector exceeds two minimum wages, above the national average. “The numbers are growing rapidly, and the sector is becoming important for the economy. The total capacity has grown even amid the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,” stated ABSOLAR CEO Rodrigo Sauaia during a webinar hosted by Smarter E.

Cost Reduction

These milestones, although recent, are essential to explain the growth of this renewable energy source in Brazil. Another very important factor for the wallets of entrepreneurs and the general population — which is a consequence of this rapid evolution — relates to the decrease in generation prices, year after year.

In the last 10 years, there has been a drastic reduction of 85% in costs, associated with the slight increase in nationalization of production and government tax exemption programs.

In August, the federal government decided to eliminate the import tax on various solar energy equipment. Import taxes for solar modules are, on average, 12%, while inverters pay tariffs of 14%. The exemption is valid until the end of 2021 and divides opinions among experts.

ABSOLAR also estimates that the savings in energy tariffs for consumers who have distributed solar photovoltaic generation systems contributed to over R$ 4.7 billion reinvested in the economy since 2012.

State Ranking of Solar Photovoltaic Generation in Brazil

According to the latest survey by the association, the state ranking of distributed solar generation is led by Minas Gerais, followed by Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo, Paraná, and Mato Grosso. In the municipal ranking, the top position is held by Uberlândia (MG), followed by Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Fortaleza (CE), Cuiabá (MT), and Brasília (DF).

State Ranking of Solar Photovoltaic Generation in Brazil

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

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.

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.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

The rule of silence after 10 PM may lose strength in Brazilian cities, but noise will not be allowed, and new proposals divide residents and business owners.

The blouse tax seemed to have disappeared, but it returns in 2027 with a different name, a new federal charge, and a change that could affect the price of international purchases.

New agreement in Minas changes the entry salary in supermarkets and hypermarkets, sets a minimum wage of R$ 1,735.76, and creates an alert for workers to check adjustments, commissions, and rights on the payslip.

Measuring 13m in wingspan, the F-15 Eagle is a tactical fighter that combines power, advanced electronic systems, large weapon capacity, and high maneuverability to dominate the skies in any condition.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.
