The Largest Consumers of Solar Photovoltaic Energy Are: Homes, Small Businesses, Rural Sector, and Industry, Shows Absolar

According to data from the Brazilian Association of Solar Energy – Absolar, Brazil reached the record of 500 thousand distributed solar photovoltaic systems (GD) in February. To meet the needs of these 500 thousand units, 400 thousand solar systems were installed, with a total investment of 23.1 billion reais. According to the entity, the largest consumers are: mostly installed in homes (73.6%), small businesses (16.6%), followed by the rural sector (7%) and industry (2.4%).

Use of Solar Energy:

Photovoltaic energy is the energy obtained by the direct conversion of sunlight into electrical energy. During the day, this light strikes the installed panels, is absorbed, and converted into direct current. In addition to not requiring a large area, it is also possible to tailor projects to the needs of each consumer and produce solar energy on different scales. Due to the ease of generation, the production of this energy is the fastest growing in the world.

Installations:

According to the characteristics of the system, the panel can be installed in up to two days, and generally, no construction is necessary for the support of the installation, as it is sufficient for the grid system to be installed on the roof and connected to the local power source. Another advantage of solar energy is that it can reduce energy costs for consumers, lowering the electricity bill by up to 95%.

Benefits:

One of the main benefits of using solar energy is that it relies on an inexhaustible energy source: the sun is viable in nearly every country, and Brazil is no different, as it is located in an area with high sunlight incidence.

Unlike thermal power plants that rely on fossil fuels, which are more polluting and harmful to the environment, and hydroelectric plants that depend on rain and river water levels, photovoltaic energy is a clean, renewable, and affordable energy source for consumers that can be used when its production can serve more than one property.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

Coconut husks become natural logs to protect eroding coasts in the USA, with biodegradable fibers used in living shorelines to hold plants, reduce wave force, and restore areas destroyed by storms like Sandy in New Jersey.

Tiny blue octopus discovered in the depths near the Galápagos Islands: the small animal, the size of a golf ball, was found at almost 1,800 meters deep and surprised scientists, who reveal they have never seen a creature like this in the depths of the tropical Pacific.

The self-working litter box: smart bathroom uses AI to recognize up to 5 cats, automatically separates waste, controls odor, and transforms pet hygiene into a routine monitored by a smartphone.

More than 1,000 Brazilian cities are already at high or very high risk of landslides, and projections indicate that one-third of the country could enter the danger zone by 2030.
