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).
