The Development Perspective for the Solar Energy Market Was Estimated by Tarcisio Dario, Operations Director of Horus

Until 2025, it is estimated that Brazil will have 45GW of installed solar energy capacity. The analysis is made by Tarcisio Dario, Operations Director of Horus, a brand of photovoltaic equipment. According to him, during the online conference held by Canal Solar, nearly 4 million systems will be connected to the grid in Brazil, which he classified as “a balanced, moderate scenario for the sector’s development.”

Tarcisio also stated that, according to Horus’ projection, solar energy would represent, on average, 18% of the energy consumed in the country, placing it among the top ten or eight largest in the world in this segment.

However, this is still a low figure considering the size and potential of solar energy in Brazil, according to the director. This occurs due to some factors that hinder development, such as interest rates, Selic, and investments.

Development Factors

Regarding the factors that influence the growth of the solar energy sector in Brazil, one of the main ones, according to Dario, is currency fluctuation. As the economy is dollarized, the specialist points out that there is a need to be concerned about the capital power of industries in a high Selic environment.

This concern is necessary because with the rise of the dollar, the prices of equipment for solar energy installation can vary from one day to the next and, according to Dario, the variation is always an increase, never a decrease.

“As a result, there may be a shortage of products next year. A hike in the exchange rate can mean an increase in the cost of equipment. Market volatility is complicated,” he stated, noting that in an election year like 2022, the market becomes more unpredictable.

Expectations for Next Year

The expectation for 2022 is that the world will reach 200 GW of solar energy production capacity. Of these, China has already purchased 100 GW, leaving Brazil, the Americas, and Europe to compete for the remaining 100 GW.

About Solar Energy

Solar energy is a clean, renewable, and inexhaustible source of energy. It corresponds to the light and heat emitted by the sun, which can be harnessed photovoltically to generate electric energy through solar panels or to generate thermal energy.

The lifespan of the system is, on average, 20 years, requiring little maintenance during this period. Additionally, solar energy can provide savings of up to 95% on electricity bills.

This type of energy can be produced by equipment installed in residences or can be purchased from third-party plants.

About Solar Energy

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows in Argentine Patagonia the exact point where a colossal glacier, a turquoise-blue lake, and a greenish arm of water meet, creating one of the rarest and most impressive landscapes in the region.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

Welcome to Chongqing, the most cyberpunk city in the world, that takes you to the future in the blink of an eye.

The Brazilian president sent a direct message to Trump, Putin, Xi Jinping, and Macron, calling them all warlords and demanding that they fulfill their obligation to ensure peace.

While Mazda succeeded with the rotary engine, China attempted to apply it in trucks, but the low torque, high consumption, and wear led to the failure of the TJ140 project.

At the same time that a traditional farmer plants lettuce in the field and waits up to 90 days for the harvest, a single Japanese factory produces 30,000 heads of lettuce per day, without soil, without pesticides, and not dependent on the season, with automated harvesting that surprises the world.

Petrobras made two discoveries in the pre-salt of the Campos Basin in less than 30 days: “excellent quality” oil in Marlim Sul in March and hydrocarbons at 2,984 meters in April.

With US$ 629 billion invested in 1,900 clean energy projects, Brazil consolidates itself as a renewable powerhouse — but still relies on fossil thermal power plants for 15% of its energy matrix.

In just 12 months, Brazil will install the equivalent of 9 nuclear power plants in solar and wind energy — a total of 9,142 MW new, a jump of 23.4% compared to the previous year.

India has connected for the first time a nuclear reactor that generates more fuel than it consumes — it produces 500 MW, cost nearly $1 billion, took 22 years, and places the country among the few with this technology in the world.

Suape Port is receiving R$ 15.8 billion to become the largest green hydrogen hub in Latin America — and a partnership with China promises an additional R$ 8 billion.

Petrobras robots dove nearly 3,000 meters deep and 201 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro confirmed what geologists suspected — there is more oil hidden in the pre-salt of Campos.
