The Brazilian energy matrix together with investments in solar energy are directly responsible for the economic, technological and scientific development of the country
The diversity of a country's energy matrix reduces the risk of energy crises, since it will not depend on a single source of solar energy, but on a plant, thus one will supplement the other. Furthermore, with increasing concern to reduce the harmful effects on the environment and the ozone layer, new technologies and segments are gaining prominence in this race against the consequences and damage committed over the years by us human beings, thanks to the advance in renewable energies. we can contribute to the reduction of environmental impacts.

Sabesp will install 34 solar plants in sewage treatment stations, with 67 megawatts of power
With the idea of reusing operational areas and increasing the use of renewable energy in Brazil, the State of São Paulo together with Sabesp – Basic Sanitation Company of the state should install around 34 solar energy plants capable of generating 67 megawatts of power, these which will mostly be installed in stabilization Lagoon-type sites with idle land.
The project is capable of supplying 65.200 homes with solar energy
From the same point of view, according to Sabesp, the production of solar energy should come into force by the end of the second half of 2020. With the start of production, solar energy plants will be able to contribute to a greater diversification of the company's energy matrix of sanitation. Finally, the energy generated by the solar source is clean, does not emit greenhouse gases and has a low environmental impact.
The Mogi Mirim sewage treatment plant was the first to adopt the solar power generation model
Mogi Mirim currently treats more than 150 liters of sewage every second, consuming only 1,72 megawatts per year of energy. In short, the modules occupy an area of 2,1 m2, producing around 606 MW/h per year – enough energy to supply 370 housing units.
