Largest Rooftop Solar Plant in Brazil Installed in Jacto Warehouse. The Solar Power Plant Has 11,000 Modules and Generates Clean Energy to Meet the Company’s Operations.
TTS Energy, a company specialized in engineering and construction of solar plants in Brazil, is responsible for the project, installation, and commissioning of the largest rooftop solar power plant in Brazil. This is a 6.4 megawatt-peak (MWp) renewable energy project installed at the Jacto manufacturing facility, one of the giants in agricultural machinery in the country, located in the district of Paulópolis, in the city of Pompeia, in the interior of São Paulo state.
Rooftop Solar Plant Covers 39,000 Square Meters
In total, the solar power plant has over 11,300 photovoltaic modules installed on the roof of Jacto’s agricultural equipment factory, covering an area of nearly 39,000 square meters. The rooftop solar plant system has the capacity to generate 8 GWh/year (GWh/year), renewable energy sufficient to supply a large part of the electricity demand for Jacto’s operations.
Jacto is a Brazilian company of international renown, specialized in manufacturing agricultural machines and equipment aimed at increasing efficiency and sustainability in the field. Founded in 1948, in the city of Pompeia, in the interior of São Paulo, the company stands out by offering advanced technological solutions, such as sprayers, coffee harvesters, and precision agriculture equipment.

Other Solar Power Plant Projects by Jacto
The project of the largest rooftop solar plant in Brazil is framed in the self-production model, a modality in which the consumer is, at the same time, the generator of the energy they use and integrates the Free Contracting Environment (ACL), also known as the free energy market.
In addition to the rooftop solar plant in the warehouse, TTS Energy also installed a photovoltaic system on the roof of the parking lot (carport) of Jacto’s factory. The mini solar power plant, with 886 kilowatts, has 1,600 photovoltaic modules spread over an area of 6,100 square meters. Just in this solar power plant, the generation capacity is 1.17 GWh/year.
According to the executive director of TTS Energy, Jacques Hulshof, utilizing large rooftops, like that of the largest rooftop solar plant in Brazil, both in rural and urban areas, is a trend in Brazil and is one of the great solutions for companies and agricultural producers looking to reduce electricity costs, ensure electricity supply, and increase competitiveness and sustainability for their business.
The executive concludes that, in practice, these projects transform a cost center, that is, a roof that generates expenses into a major source of revenue from renewable energy, in addition to reinforcing the ESG policies of agribusiness companies and other business segments.
