Absolar Ensured That The Solar Energy Industry Will Generate New Jobs And Income Throughout The Country
The Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (Absolar) reported that approximately 147,000 new jobs will be created in Brazilian territory. The solar energy industry aims to add over 4.9 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity. Along with large-scale plants and distributed systems on rooftops, facades, and land across the country, this represents a significant growth of about 68% over the currently installed capacity, which is only 7.5 GW.

Solar Energy Can Boost The Economy
According to Ronaldo Koloszuk, president of the Board of Directors of Absolar, solar energy is a strategy aimed at boosting the country’s sustainable economic recovery, strengthening Brazil’s competitiveness and sustainability. Koloszuk also stated:
“Solar photovoltaic energy reduces the cost of electricity for the population, increases the competitiveness of companies, and alleviates the public budget, benefiting small, medium, and large consumers in the country”
The estimated value for investment in the solar energy industry, besides generating jobs and income for the country, also accounts for the savings that consumers will have on their energy bills, receiving a considerable discount, thus demonstrating that the economic benefit of the sector is favorable for both the public power and the Brazilian population.
