After High Growth In 2022, Imports Of Photovoltaic Modules In Brazil Slowed Down In 2023, According To Greener Study.

The commercialization of **solar panels** in 2023 reached 17.5 GW, showing a slight decline of 1.7% compared to the previous year, according to Greener’s survey.

According to the consultancy, after a strong 2022, with a 70% increase in purchases of **solar panels** produced abroad, the numbers for 2023 signal a stabilization in the photovoltaic solar energy market.

The data also reveals an increase in the last quarter of 2023, when imports exceeded 5 GW – the largest quarterly volume in the historical series.

Import Of Solar Panels From Brazil From China

In just the months of November and December, Brazil imported almost 4 GW of solar panels from China. Some of this equipment, however, has not yet arrived in Brazil and should reflect in the nationalized volume in the first quarter of 2024.

Participation Of Distributed Generation (GD) In The Annual Import Volume

Overall, there was a 10 percentage points (p.p.) decline in the participation of distributed generation (GD) in the annual import volume of photovoltaic panels. In 2022, self-generated energy accounted for 75% of the market share. In 2023, it fell to 65%.

Retail Sales And Challenges Of The Photovoltaic Solar Energy Market

According to the survey, retail sales (small residential and commercial installations) fell 60% in the first half of 2023 compared to the same period of the previous year, driven, among other factors, by macroeconomic aspects such as difficulties in accessing credit and high-interest rates.

Destination Of Imported Solar Panels

Of the 17.5 GW that entered the country, 11.4 GW were allocated to meet the distributed generation of photovoltaic panels — 2 GW less than in 2022 –, with remote shared generation helping to keep the market active.

Expansion Of Centralized Generation Projects

The centralized generation projects of solar panels saw a boost last year to meet PPAs and self-production contracts signed between 2020 and 2022.

Growth Of Photovoltaic Solar Energy Ventures

Greener’s study estimates 4.2 GW of ventures in operation and/or under construction of photovoltaic panels, indicating progress compared to the 2.3 GW in 2022.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

What many people consider a weed has become a bicycle in the hands of a Chilean. José Tomás transforms coligüe, a native bamboo that grows up to five times faster than pine, into bikes, canes, and cutlery.

Only 28% of the ocean floor has been accurately mapped, less than what is already known about the surface of Mars and the Moon, and scientists consider the topic strategic for Brazil, with a global goal to map everything by 2030.

Japan wants to bury a 500 km “cargo conveyor” between Tokyo and Osaka to replace up to 25,000 trucks per day, move goods through tunnels and automated driverless corridors, and avoid a logistical collapse in an increasingly aging country.

GAC launches “Chinese hybrid Kombi” with 7 seats cheaper than Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid in Brazil; for around R$ 177,000 in conversion without taxes, the Trumpchi E8 PHEV has a 2.0 engine, DHT transmission, an electric range of 150 km, and a premium family cabin for those living in China.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.

Taiwanese fishermen accepted offshore wind turbines in the name of clean energy, but now they say that old routes have disappeared, fish have decreased, and income has become uncertain on the coast.
