Solar Energy Is The Most Job Generating Energy Source In The World, Has High Growth Potential In The Market For Renewable Energy Production, And Is One Of The Most Strategic Energy Sources To Accelerate Sustainable Development In Brazil
The Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association (Absolar) recently reported that solar energy is one of the most strategic renewable energy sources to accelerate sustainable development in Brazil, in addition to being an ally of the environment. In our country, the potential for solar power generation is significant even in places with lower incidence of sunlight throughout the year. Elétron Energy will invest R$ 900 million in renewable energy projects by 2024, in addition to consolidating other projects involving photovoltaic, wind, and hydroelectric sources.

Renewable energy sources offer several advantages in their use, as they are considered environmentally friendly energy sources, minimally impacting the planet compared to conventional energy sources. Although it currently represents only 2% of the national energy matrix, this clean energy source has already prevented the emission of 13.6 million tons of CO2 in electricity generation.

Solar Energy Provides Relief In Consumer Budgets And Offers Return On Investment And Good Profit Margin At The End Of The Equipment Lifecycle
The photovoltaic solar panel, commonly known as a solar panel, is a device made up of interconnected photovoltaic cells that capture solar energy to convert sunlight into electricity. These energy generation panels are so efficient that they have an average lifespan of 30 years, thereby ensuring the return on investment for installation and providing a good profit margin at the end of the equipment’s lifecycle. Furthermore, there is an environmental benefit in replacing sources like thermal power plants and nuclear energy (which are part of the Brazilian power system) with solar energy, which is non-polluting and considered an inexhaustible resource.

According to the CEO and founder of Elétron Energy, André Cavalcanti, solar energy has spread significantly, especially among those looking for relief in their budgets. He believes that free consumers who are self-producers of energy enjoy financial benefits from the sectorial charges that must be paid to the distributor and CCEE, as well as adding intangible value to the company’s product production.
Solar Energy Is The Renewable Source That Generates The Most Jobs On The Planet And Brazil Has Great Potential For Energy Generation Even In Places With Lower Incidence Of Sunlight
Only in 2019, the solar energy market in Brazil grew by over 212%, reaching 2.4 GW installed. According to data from Aneel, R$ 4.8 billion have already been invested in the installation of over 110,000 mini and micro photovoltaic generation systems, generating 15,000 jobs, in addition to being beneficial for the environment.
According to Aneel, the year 2022 anticipates further increases in electricity bills for Brazilians. Due to the water crisis and economic downturn, the energy sector is increasingly facing high costs. Therefore, it is believed that the post-pandemic period will be even more promising for the solar energy market.
In times of an economy needing stimulus, another good news from the solar energy sector is that, according to a study by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), solar energy is responsible for more than one-third of the over 11 million jobs arising from renewable sources worldwide, making it the renewable source that generates the most jobs on the planet.
In Brazil, data from the Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association (ABSOLAR) revealed that the sum of installed capacity (MW) in the country increased from 7 MW in 2012 to 7,766 MW in 2020. By 2024, Aneel estimates that over 1 million consumers will start generating their own energy. The total investments expected by 2025 are R$ 25.8 billion.
Elétron Energy will invest R$ 900 million in renewable energy projects by 2024. According to CEO André Cavalcanti, the company will offer energy by subscription starting next year in other states like Pernambuco, Pará, and Maranhão, in addition to Minas Gerais. He also noted that one of the company’s pillars is sustainability, so they are very focused on developing generation projects through renewable sources, predominantly working with photovoltaic (solar) and wind sources, and they also operate 3 small hydroelectric power plants (PCHs), as stated in an interview given to the press on 12/28/2021, received by the CPG Portal.
It is worth keeping an eye on this market and considering the possibility of having this cost-effective, environmentally friendly energy generation that creates many jobs!
