Brazilian Solar Energy Industry Sets Record with Over Half a Million Units in Distributed Generation

Annually, the Brazilian industry increases its investment in solar energy and distributed generation. In the global ranking showing the evolution of the sector, in 2017, our country was in 26th place, the following year it moved to 21st place, and in 2019/2020, it reached 10th place. A few days ago, the Brazilian Solar Photovoltaic Energy Association (Absolar) announced that our installed capacity has surpassed 7 gigawatts (GW), equivalent to half the production of the Itaipu Hydroelectric Plant, the second largest in the world.

Investment That Pays Off and Generates Results – Distributed Generation

“I made an investment of R$ 12 thousand in the solar energy industry. This energy guarantees the operation of six light bulbs, three fans, two televisions, one printer, the refrigerator, and the water pump,” says fishing engineer Antônio Valdeni de Oliveira.

In the last 10 years, the price of solar equipment has fallen by almost 90%, and the trend is for them to become increasingly accessible to contribute to distributed generation. In Brazil alone, there are 70 credit lines, both public and private, for those who want to invest in this type of energy.

“Solar photovoltaic energy reduces the electricity cost for the population, increases the competitiveness of companies, and eases the budget of public authorities, benefiting small, medium, and large consumers in the country. The solar photovoltaic energy industry works to accelerate the renewable expansion of the Brazilian electric matrix at competitive prices. We are the cheapest renewable source in Brazil and will help the country grow with increasing competitiveness and sustainability,” emphasizes Sauaia.
