Energy Brasil Launches Energy Pay, The Credit Card Machine That Will Help You Acquire Your Solar Energy Installation!

The demand for solar energy has been steadily increasing, especially when we talk about distributed solar energy. That’s why Energy Brasil, one of the largest companies in the market for selling and installing solar panel kits, is helping Brazilians install solar energy in their homes through a new payment method.

This convenience will help many people install solar energy at home using one of the most accessible lines of credit in Brazil: the credit card.

Difficulties Brazilians Face to Install Solar Energy

Túlio Fonseca, co-founder of Energy Brasil, comments that the biggest difficulty for Brazilians is not the investment itself, but the way of acquiring this investment.

He states: “Today, it is possible to acquire a solar kit starting at R$10,000, but the minority do it in cash and need to resort to financing or credit cards. The problem is that both have high interest rates and financing comes with a lot of bureaucracy. We had already identified this in the market and thought about how to make this acquisition easier?”

The answer came in a simple and efficient way: Energy Brasil created Energy Pay, its own credit card machine.

” The customer buys on the spot and can split it across as many credit cards as they want”. With this innovation, the company aims to increase its solar energy customers, even becoming more accessible to classes C and D.

What Are the Numbers for Energy Brasil?

 Energy Brasil is one of the largest solar panel installation and sales companies in Brazil. With more than 400 franchises spread across the country, the company is becoming an important player in the solar energy market, always betting on the democratization of its solar energy systems.

By releasing this new form of acquisition, Energy Brasil aims to generate an average revenue of 150 million reais just from Energy Pay.

The company has been monitoring the rapid growth that solar energy has experienced in recent years. In October, Brazil reached 11 GW of installed solar energy, of which 7.6 GW is from distributed generation.

The main reasons for the growth of this market involve the high electricity bills in recent months, caused by the energy crisis due to the water crisis and the fact that these solar panels are becoming increasingly popular.

 Additionally, the legal framework for micro and mini distributed generation further stimulates these markets.

Energy Brasil’s choice of credit cards was not by chance. Credit cards are one of the most widely used payment methods in Brazil.

In a survey on digital wallets in Brazil conducted by Serasa, 85% of Brazilians pointed to credit cards as a payment method, and according to the Brazilian Association of Credit Card Service Companies, purchases through credit, debit, and prepaid cards grew by 52% in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the same period last year, totaling 609.2 billion reais.

How Can I Become Part of This Solar Energy Revolution?

If you are interested in these numbers and want to participate in this market, Energy Brasil has two excellent news for you. 

In addition to a franchising program with a relatively small investment and an average return period of 12 months, you can become one of the franchisees of a leading company in the distributed solar energy market.

If the investment seems too large for you, there is the possibility of starting as a sales representative for the company, working from home, within your hours, and closing sales for your projects.

You can learn more about it on the official website of Energy Brasil.
