With a New Record, the Solar Energy Sector Sees Major Investments in Brazil
According to a survey by Absolar – Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy, Brazil has reached a new record in the photovoltaic solar energy sector. Investments in the area exceed 13 billion reais, including large plants and energy generation systems installed on roofs, exterior walls, and small plots of land. Since 2012, compared to accumulated investments in Brazil, the result has increased by 52%.
In terms of clean and renewable energy generation capacity, Brazil currently has 7.5 gigawatts (GW) of photovoltaic solar energy to generate electricity, comprising large factories and small to medium systems installed on roofs, exterior walls, and land (distributed generation), responsible for more than half of the installed capacity of the Itaipu Hydroelectric Plant, the largest in Brazil and the second largest in the world.
