With Over Ten Thousand Connections and Operational Posts, Ceará Shines Among the States Contributing to Distributed Solar Energy Generation
The Brazilian Solar Energy Association – Absolar issued a statement this week discussing the Top 10 states with installed solar energy that is fully operational. For the happiness and pride of Northeasterners, the state of Ceará stood out with 10,402 operational connections, distributed across 181 municipalities, totaling a range of 98.4% compared to other states. This earned the state a spot in the Top 10 of Brazilian states with the highest installed capacity of solar energy in distributed generation.

According to a recent mapping conducted by Absolar, Ceará has approximately 161.5 megawatts (MW) in operation, including residences, businesses, industries, rural properties, and other public buildings. Currently, around 13,229 electricity consumers are already experiencing reduced electricity bills and greater autonomy and electrical safety.
Ceará is TOP 10 in Solar Energy Generation
The state ranks 9th in Absolar’s ranking, with a strong chance of moving up in category. According to Absolar, Ceará alone is responsible for 3.5% of the entire Brazilian distributed solar energy generation fleet and units. In addition to Ceará, the state of Bahia is also standing out in the area.
