Mastering the New Electricity Bill: How Solar Power Changes Your Bill
With the popularization of solar energy, many Brazilian consumers have noticed significant changes in their electricity bills. In 2022, according to information from the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL), more than 600 photovoltaic kits were installed in the country, showing an increase of 50% compared to the previous year. The use of this renewable energy, as it is more sustainable and economical, has become an attractive alternative for those looking to reduce costs in the long term. However, even after the installation of the solar system, electricity bills continue to arrive and it is essential to understand their peculiarities to avoid unwanted financial surprises.
Analyzing Your Invoice: Essential Data to Keep an Eye On
The invoice after the installation of solar energy presents information on the consumption of energy from the grid and the energy injected into it, as well as the available accumulated credits. When the solar system produces more energy than the consumer needs, the excess is converted into credits, also known as “unit credits” or “uc”.
For those who still don't feel comfortable with this new reality or need time to understand and adapt, there is a precious ally: ITIsun. This supplier of engineering solutions for solar energy, belonging to Energy Brasil, offers the “Energy Accounting Report”. In this document, the invoice sent by the concessionaire is meticulously analyzed and returns to the customer a simplified summary with the most relevant information on consumption.

Easing the way to solar energy: the ITIsun proposal
Gustavo Nassif, director of ITIsun, points out that this report provides consumers with more comfort and agility when verifying that the system is operating normally. “With our solution, the customer not only accesses information about how much he consumed and produced in the month, but also sees how much money has been saved since the beginning of the project, the savings generated, the tons of CO2 avoided, among other data that the normal invoice does not provide”, explains Nassif. “Our objective is to simplify the use of solar energy through technological solutions”, he concludes, reinforcing the company's commitment to simplify the transition to this more sustainable and cost-effective form of energy.
