One Of The Fastest Growing Renewable Energy Sources In Brazil, Solar Energy Surpasses 7 GW Of Installed Capacity, According To Absolar

The Brazilian Association of Solar Energy – Absolar, showed that the installed capacity of photovoltaic solar energy surpasses 7 gigawatts, a figure mainly driven by energy generation distributed in residences, businesses, rural areas, and industries. Of the total renewable source in Brazil, 76% is represented by the commerce and services sectors.

The sector still has 13.2% coming from rural consumers, followed by industries with 8.9%, public authorities with 1.2%, and lastly public lighting, with 0.02%. In terms of installed systems, residential users occupy the first place in distributed energy generation, accounting for 72.8% of the total.

The solar energy sector has been growing every year in Brazil, with projects in auctions, the sector has an investment of R$ 35 billion since 2012.

Solar Energy:

Solar energy is the electromagnetic energy whose source is the sun. It can be transformed into thermal or electrical energy and applied in various uses. The two main ways of harnessing solar energy are electricity generation and solar water heating.

The heliothermal collectors are devices that capture solar radiation and convert it into heat, transferring this heat to a fluid (air, water, or oil, in general). The collectors have a reflective surface, which directs direct radiation to a focus, where a receiver is located. Once it has absorbed the heat, the fluid flows through the receiver.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Goodbye screwdriver that discharges in 30 minutes: new electric screwdriver from Xiaomi hits the market with a price equivalent to R$ 96 and a giant battery with an estimated duration of 3 to 8 hours.

Petrobras receives a payment of R$ 4.7 billion from TotalEnergies for the company’s stake in the Atapu field in oil production focusing on the pre-salt.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.
