Law 14.620, which addresses this program, now includes the installation of photovoltaic systems in financed housing, integrating them into the housing financing. This means that program beneficiaries will have solar energy already installed in their homes, without the need for additional investments.

This inclusion of solar energy in the My Home, My Life program represents a significant step in democratizing access to clean and renewable energy. In addition to being beneficial for the environment, it brings significant economic advantages for residents. The law provides for a reduction of up to 85% in the electricity bill by 2023 and 65% by 2028 for program participants.

An Important Point to Highlight Is That This Initiative Is Not Limited to New Housing Units

Low-income individuals, who already receive government subsidies to reduce their electricity bills, will also benefit from the installation of photovoltaic systems. This is because solar energy can meet the entire energy demand of the home, according to a study by the Solar Portal, further reducing energy costs.

However, there are still details to be defined, such as how these services will be contracted. It is likely to be through bidding for entire housing developments, which may raise concerns regarding the quality of the installed solar energy systems, due to the nature of bidding focused on the lowest price.

Another Important Aspect Is That The Installation of Photovoltaic Systems Will Not Be Optional

If the project for the housing development includes solar energy, all homes will have the system installed. Furthermore, the law vetoed the mandatory purchase of excess energy by utility companies, maintaining the current energy compensation rules.

The inclusion of solar energy in the My Home, My Life program is a commendable initiative that promotes sustainability and offers economic benefits to participants. However, it is essential that the implementation details are carefully planned to ensure the effectiveness and quality of the installed systems.
