Theft of solar panels: a growing obstacle in the Brazilian energy market
The Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association (Absolar) ranks Brazil as the 8th country with the greatest accumulated potential in solar energy. However, along with the growth of this sector come significant challenges, with the theft of solar panels being one of the most pressing.
Impact of crime on the solar energy sector
The problem of solar panel theft is not isolated, affecting several regions of Brazil. An example of this are the cities of Conceição das Alagoas and Frutal, in Minas Gerais, and Aguaí, in São Paulo, where police actions recently blocked around 3 million reais worth of stolen equipment. This type of crime not only represents a direct threat to the development of solar energy in the country, but also imposes significant additional costs, as the value of stolen or damaged photovoltaic panels far exceeds investments in effective protection systems.
- New technology converts carbon dioxide into methane fuel
- China plans to collect solar energy in space and send it back to Earth
- Green hydrogen gains momentum in São Paulo: State invests R$32 million in innovative center to lead the fight against emissions and boost clean energy
- Petrobras invests heavily in Brazil's sustainable future, with US$4,3 billion for solar and wind energy, part of an ambitious US$111 billion plan by 2029!
Safety as a priority in the solar energy market
Given this scenario, the safety of solar energy installations has become a high priority issue. To discuss effective strategies and solutions, Christian Speyer, Marketing Manager at Morlan and industry expert, is a valuable source of information. He can provide detailed insights into the importance of fencing to protect solar installations, addressing specific market challenges and explaining how protective screens can be an effective solution to combat this type of crime.
Speyer's knowledge of solar energy market trends and best security practices is essential to understanding how companies can protect their investments and ensure the continued growth of the sector in Brazil. Speyer's experience can help illuminate the path to a safer and more sustainable future for solar energy in the country.
