The New Solar Panel Factory in the State of Paraíba

The initial investment for the new solar panel factory is approximately R$ 70 million. According to the company’s representative, Olavo das Neves, the Paraíba factory will be the largest of its kind in Latin America. The expectation is to produce 150,000 solar panels per year.

The solar panel factory already has 18,000 square meters of built area and is set to begin receiving production equipment next week. “Between 40 to 50 trucks of products will arrive for the manufacturing park,” he said.

The governor of Paraíba, João Azevêdo (Cidadania), also stated that the state will receive “the largest and most modern photovoltaic panel factory in South America, used for solar energy generation.” The announcement was made on Twitter, but the details were conveyed by him during a live broadcast on YouTube.

According to the governor, the leadership of Balfar Solar “represents a strategic investment that points to the future and consolidates our state as a hub for renewable energy generation, promoting sustainable development.”

The company Rio Alto, which is already present in Coremas, is expected to invest R$ 4.1 billion to build a new solar power plant in Santa Luzia and São Mamede, with a capacity of 1.6GW (the largest under construction in the country), sufficient to supply 1.6 million low-income households.
