The Use Of Solar Energy Grew By Almost 50% In 2021 And Experts Point To An Even Higher Rate In 2022

The search for renewable energy sources is becoming urgent due to the climate change being felt in various places around the world, including Brazil. According to data from the Electric Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE), energy generation from solar panels increased by 46.6% in the first half of October 2021 compared to previous months. And for 2022, experts project an even greater increase, as since 2020, the annual growth has been 230%. To meet this demand, some companies have been importing solar panels.

The increase in the use of solar energy was due to the depletion of reservoirs in national hydroelectric plants, which raised the electricity tariff in 2021. As there is a policy for credit compensation based on kWh generated by solar panels, many individuals and companies began to invest in solar energy production. For companies, in addition to savings on electricity tariffs, there is the benefit of a more sustainable market positioning, which is viewed favorably by consumers.

Import Report Made By Logcomex Shows That Several Companies Have Benefited From The Reduction In Import Taxes

Logcomex is a company that works with solutions related to foreign trade using Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to design analyses. In its report for the first half of 2022, it indicates that solar panels saw an increase in imports, mainly due to the reduction of taxes on this activity. However, imports have become very important in the national scenario as a way to meet demand and achieve negotiable prices.

Why Importing Solar Panels Could Be A Great Option?

You might be wondering: if solar panels are sold in Brazil, why import? There are some reasons that can answer this question. The first is that there is a fiscal incentive policy for imports made by the federal government, which has eliminated tariffs on this activity. Therefore, there are various options for prices, sizes, and efficiencies of solar panels available worldwide to choose from.

Moreover, solar energy is an inexhaustible source of energy, unless the sun were to collapse one day, as some theories suggest. Thus, the investment can be recouped in a few years, and then you start to save money through the accumulation of generated energy credits, which deducts from your electricity bill.

Finally, it is worth noting that the growing concern for renewable energy sources has been driving the national market and industries. In this sense, through imports, you can access a wider range of solar panels with great long-term cost-benefit, contributing to a reduction in the use of fossil fuels.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

NASA researchers test new material capable of withstanding contact with melted lunar dust, one of the biggest challenges of space missions: technology may help astronauts produce oxygen, fuel, and structures using resources found on the lunar surface itself.

The Brazilian GDP grew by 1.1% in the first quarter and recorded the largest jump in four quarters, but economists warn that the war in the Middle East, high interest rates, and El Niño could slow down the economy precisely in the second half of the year.
