The biggest consumers of photovoltaic solar energy are: homes, small businesses, the rural sector and industry, shows Absolar
According to data from the Brazilian Association of Solar Energy - Absolar, Brazil reached the record of 500 solar photovoltaic distributed (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 main consumers are: mostly installed in residences (73,6%), small businesses (16,6%), followed by the rural sector (7%) and industry (2,4%).

Use of solar energy:
Photovoltaic energy is energy obtained by directly converting sunlight into electrical energy. During the day, this light falls on the installed panels, and is absorbed and converted into direct current. In addition to not requiring a vast area, it is also possible to adapt 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 for up to two days, and in general, no work is required to support the installation, as it is enough for the grid system to be installed on the roof and connected to the power source. local feed. Another advantage of solar energy is that it can reduce energy costs for consumers by reducing their electricity bills by up to 95%.
The system is also very simple and requires almost no maintenance. Typically, the equipment is installed on the roof and connected to the franchise's distribution network, with low maintenance costs.
Benefits:
One of the main benefits of using solar energy is that it depends on inexhaustible energy: the sun is viable in almost all countries, Brazil is no different, as it is located in an area with a high incidence of sunlight.
Unlike thermoelectric plants that use fossil fuels, which are more polluting and harmful to the environment, and hydroelectric plants that depend on rainfall and river water levels, photovoltaic energy is a clean, renewable and cheap source of energy for consumers. which can be used when its production can serve more than one property.
