Country Surpassed In September The Historic Mark Of 6 GW Of Power In Large-Scale Plants. Distributed Generation Also Expands, With Good Solutions To Make Solar Energy More Accessible, Including For Residential Consumption

Solar energy continues to grow in Brazil, and data from the Electric Energy Trading Chamber (CCEE) proves this. In August, the generation from solar plants was 82% higher than that recorded in the same period last year.

According to the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (Absolar), Brazil surpassed the historic mark of 6 GW of power from photovoltaic solar sources in large-scale plants in September, which already represent 3.3% of Brazil’s electricity matrix.

But how does a solar plant work in practice? In the case of photovoltaic plants, which are the most commonly found in the country, the mechanism is simple: solar panels convert sunlight into electrical current. Then, this current passes through a solar inverter, where it is converted into alternating current to be transmitted through distribution networks to homes, apartments, and businesses.

“Solar generation is expanding not only from larger plants. It is a source that has been gaining popularity. In addition to the growth of centralized generation from solar plants, distributed solar generation is also expanding, benefiting various sectors and the end consumer. In agriculture, for example, owners of small and large plots of land are building small-scale solar plants that can be used to offset the consumption of businesses and homes. For the owner, it is a way to monetize their land and invest in a long-term asset with good returns,” says Felipe Mattos, CEO of Reverde, an energy tech that simplifies the use of solar energy.

Reverde is an example of a company that rents small-scale solar plants. Thus, it distributes clean energy to its clients, without them needing to install solar panels in their homes or commercial establishments.

Therefore, even apartment dwellers can consume energy from solar generation. Those who subscribe to the energy tech’s service can achieve savings of up to 15% on their electricity bill. Subscription can be done through Reverde’s platform or via WhatsApp.

About Reverde

Reverde is the simple way to use solar energy for savings and help decarbonize the planet. The company relies on a green account that offers savings on the electricity bill, without the consumer needing to invest or install solar panels. To do this, simply sign up for one of the plans, free of charge, and the user becomes part of the network of 100% clean solar energy producers.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

A couple builds a system to bring water from the spring to their land, climbs a hill with materials on their backs, and creates a simple, cheap, and sustainable solution to ensure their own water supply.

The end of total solar eclipses has a deadline: the Moon is moving away from the Earth at about 3.8 cm per year, and in approximately 600 million years, it will no longer completely cover the Sun, ending one of the rarest coincidences in the Solar System.

With 40% of all the gold on the planet buried in a single geological basin that is 2.7 billion years old in South Africa, the Witwatersrand still hides R$ 3 trillion in unreachable reserves.

In the depths of the African forest, these rare and terrifying native species dominate rivers, swamps, and treetops with venom, brute strength, lethal teeth, and behaviors that seem impossible in the heart of the wild.

The Mediterranean has become the target of the largest underwater archaeological mission ever coordinated by UNESCO: eight countries have joined forces to map shipwrecks and protect a historic corridor.

After nearly 50 years of neglect, BR-319 receives R$ 678 million to pave 340 km, gain a 320-meter bridge, and try to lift Amazonas out of the mud, the quagmire, and road isolation.

In France, a group of artisans spends 28 years building a medieval castle with 13th-century tools, without machines, without measuring tapes, and with almost zero carbon footprint, and the rediscovered techniques helped in the reconstruction of Notre-Dame.

The heatwave in Brazil that hit in March is set to end as a cold front arrives between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, causing a temperature drop of up to 6 degrees and rain in the Central-South region, according to the Easter weather forecast.

The U.S. Army has introduced its first new lethal grenade since the Vietnam War: the M111 kills using pressure shock waves that bounce off walls and can explode the enemy’s lungs without producing a single shard.
