Residents of Tocantins Bet on Solar Energy as a Solution for the Dry Period and Also as a Way to Reduce Electricity Bills.

During the dry season in Tocantins, the demand for solar panels increased by 30%. Residents with solar panels in their homes claim that solar energy is low-cost and more eco-friendly, and a company now wants to install a floating solar power plant.

Tocantins Secretariats Meet to Discuss the Project

On Tuesday (29), the president of the Tocantins Rural Development Institute (Ruraltins) and the Secretary of State for Agriculture, Livestock, and Aquaculture (Seagro) met with representatives from the solar energy company LM, who will be responsible for taking the solar park from conception to reality.

The project aims to serve rural producers, but it may also benefit some residents in the area. The technique to be used is a new method in Brazil, floating solar panels that will hover above the water and generate solar energy for farmers in the region.

As mentioned earlier, this type of technology is already used in other countries, mainly in lakes, ponds, and water treatment plants. The goal of a floating solar power plant, in some cases, is to produce energy for pumping water intended for agriculture.

However, it is not just about that; the energy produced by this type of plant also helps reduce evaporation rates in reservoirs and even decreases the proliferation of algae due to shading. A floating solar power plant is a power generation facility driven by sunlight, just like a land-based solar plant, but installed on the water’s surface.

For this, the use of floaters is necessary, which are the structures that support the solar modules (panels) over the water. A photovoltaic panel can weigh up to 25 kg, so these structures must be very durable.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

Workers were preparing a new highway in England when archaeologists found 7 skeletons, a Roman well, and Anglo-Saxon houses hidden beneath the construction path.

BEI will provide more than US$ 650 million to Enel for investments in the development of renewable energy projects in Brazil, Peru, and Colombia.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.
