Solfácil survey shows that solar projects with batteries grew more than 400% in Brazil, while credit, lower costs, and hybrid systems expand access to photovoltaic technology in the Northeast

Solar energy projects with batteries advanced more than 400% in two years in Brazil, while hybrid systems grew 250%, amid the search for autonomy, reliability, and higher value-added solutions.

Demand accelerates in the photovoltaic market

The photovoltaic market is experiencing a phase of change, with storage gaining ground. The expansion appears in projects that combine solar generation, batteries, and hybrid systems.

The study by Solfácil, presented this Monday (27), during the Solfácil Summit, used information from the company’s database. The event took place in Fortaleza (CE) and brought together integrators and specialists.

Consumers seek energy autonomy

The change is not only linked to savings on the electricity bill. Eduardo Neubern, COO of Solfácil, points to a demand more focused on reliability and energy autonomy.

This profile appears in regions with greater instability in the grid. In these locations, batteries and hybrid systems gain relevance by offering more security in energy supply.

The advancement involves professional training. For Neubern, this movement helped to form a more qualified ecosystem, with higher value-added solutions, less price pressure, and more technical focus.

Batteries and hybrid systems are already showing a clear acceleration curve. The executive sees in this movement a relevant potential for expansion in the coming years.

Northeast expands credit and reduces costs

As the study was presented in Fortaleza, Solfácil brought insights from the northeastern market. One of the central points is the growth in access to credit for photovoltaic systems.

Between 2023 and 2025, the number of financed systems in the Northeast increased by 85%. The drop in costs played an important role in this advancement, making the projects more accessible.

In the same period, the average ticket of the projects fell by about 34%. This reduction expanded access to technology and opened space for more consumers to enter the solar market.

States record significant declines

Bahia and Pernambuco had declines of over 35% in the average financed value. Alagoas, Ceará, Paraíba, Maranhão, and Sergipe recorded reductions above 30%.

Even in states with less variation, the drop was significant. In Piauí and Rio Grande do Norte, the reduction in the average financed value exceeded 20%.

Residences still lead solar energy installations

The northeastern market remains concentrated in the residential segment. In 2025, this audience accounted for about 91.9% of the systems installed in the region, showing strong predominance in contracts.

The commercial segment represents just over 8%. This insight indicates room for growth in the coming years, especially with the advancement of solar energy with batteries and hybrid solutions.

The combination of credit, lower costs, training, and the search for autonomy helps explain the pace of expansion. The transformation involves more complete projects, aimed not only at savings but also at energy security.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

During works to build an artificial island in Indonesia, workers dredged 5 million cubic meters of sand from the seabed and found over 6,000 fossils from a lost continent that submerged 10,000 years ago.

Brazil spent R$ 1.9 billion on a giant bridge to Paraguay, and it is already finished, but no one can use it properly because the access points are not ready, and traffic remains blocked months later.

Scientists identify 3,100 glaciers capable of triggering sudden advances, and global warming makes avalanches, floods, and river blockages more unpredictable, with 81 ice masses already identified as a direct threat to communities and infrastructure in regions like Karakoram and the Arctic

For the first time in history, scientists claim that Africa is splitting in two, and the Earth’s crust in Kenya and Ethiopia has thinned to 12.7 km, crossing the point of no return.

Solar and wind energy are being shut down in Brazil due to a lack of grid infrastructure, while companies lose up to 25% of revenue, cut jobs, and suspend investments, exposing a bottleneck that transforms available clean energy into large-scale waste.

How much does a Logistics Technician earn in 2026? Updated salaries range between R$ 2,179 and R$ 2,460, but they can increase with experience, positions in large companies, and other attractive benefits.

The number of women working in Brazil grew by 11%, but when you find out which sectors hire the most and how much less they still earn than men, the reality is very different from what it seems.
