Brasol Develops System with AI Agents Integrated with INPE Data to Protect Solar Power Plants Against Fires, Ensuring Safety, Predictability and Operational Continuity.
As solar energy advances in Brazil, the need for solutions that ensure safety and operational stability also grows. In a scenario marked by extreme weather events and long periods of drought in various regions of the country, the risk of fires becomes a strategic concern for the sector.
It is in this context that Brasol announces the launch of a preventive monitoring system against fires, developed with the support of artificial intelligence agents and integrated with public databases of environmental data.
Technology Connects INPE Data and Artificial Intelligence
The model created by the company uses information from the Burn Program of the National Institute for Space Research (INPE). These data are collected by a set of 11 satellites responsible for identifying hotspots in almost real-time.

Solar panels at sea can generate up to 12% more energy than land-based plants, study finds: Researchers from Taiwan discovered that offshore solar panels take advantage of the natural cooling of water to increase electrical efficiency, reduce heat losses, and expand renewable energy production in regions with limited available land space.

The era of solar panels attached to roofs is beginning to change with transparent glass that generates energy while keeping the view unobstructed, and perovskite photovoltaic windows already tested in offices in Japan promise to transform entire facades into invisible power plants without blocking light or altering the appearance of buildings.

The era of silicon alone in solar energy comes to an end with the arrival of perovskite, a material that captures a broader light spectrum, is applied as a thin film, and, together with silicon, reaches a theoretical limit of 45% efficiency in tandem modules.

Fernando de Noronha begins unprecedented energy transformation with a R$ 350 million solar plant that promises to replace diesel generation and change the island’s sustainable future by 2027.
From this, the information is integrated into Brasol’s operations center through AI agents. The system then begins to monitor areas near solar energy assets, continuously tracking potential fire hotspots and assessing risks.
Continuous Monitoring and Standardized Response
The tool operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Whenever a hotspot is identified near a power plant, the system triggers automated responses. These alerts lead to remote visual verification, immediate contact with local teams, and the implementation of protocols previously defined by the company.
Additionally, the model integrates CFTV verification, perimeter patrols, and standardized communication through internal platforms. The entire process is recorded, ensuring complete traceability of each monitored event.
Expansion of Solar Energy Expands Need for Prevention
According to Brasol, the rapid growth of solar energy, especially in rural areas and environmentally diverse regions, increases the exposure of power plants to external risks. In locations with abundant vegetation nearby or restricted access, small fires can quickly transform into threats to energy infrastructure.
Therefore, the company believes that preventive mechanisms are no longer differentiators but essential for the continuity of operations and asset preservation.
Financial and Operational Results Are Already Significant
Currently, the solution is in operation in about 130 solar energy generation assets and other sources. According to the company, the system has already prevented over R$ 15 million in damages just in 2025, a result attributed to the ability to anticipate risks and accelerate field responses.
The geographic configuration of the platform considers specific coordinates and a history of alerts, allowing proximity mapping of hotspots at different ranges. This data crossover increases accuracy in prioritizing tasks.
Strategic Vision for the Solar Energy Market
“This system responds to a market demand for greater safety and operational predictability. For our clients, the ability to anticipate external risks translates directly into reduced potential downtime and asset protection — factors that affect cost and business continuity,” said Brasol’s CEO, Ty Eldridge.
From a technical standpoint, the company highlights the integration between public data and proprietary prioritization logic as the main differentiator of the solution.
“From a technical perspective, the uniqueness of this approach lies in the convergence of public satellite data and our prioritization logic. This allows for the identification of risk trajectories with practical lead time sufficient to activate teams and mitigating measures, preserving the asset and ensuring service to the client,” explained the executive.
Integration with the Operations Center and Evolution of the Platform
The system is fully integrated into Brasol’s Operations Center, which centralizes 24/7 monitoring and coordinates responses in a standardized manner. To increase the accuracy of analyses, the company also conducted technical training with INPE researchers, focused on differentiating between actual fire hotspots and industrial heat sources.
According to the company, the evolution of the platform is expected to further enhance its performance in the solar energy sector, with future offerings of periodic risk reports, integration with preventive maintenance plans, and differentiated service levels for clients.
“In a market where assets are increasingly exposed to climate variables, providing structured monitoring makes us more competitive. The evolution of the platform will allow, in the medium term, the offer of differentiated service levels to clients, such as periodic risk reports and integration with preventive maintenance plans,” added the CEO.
