The Project That Will Bring Solar Energy to Slums in Brazil Has Partnerships With Companies in the Sector That Will Provide Equipment and Services for the Operation of the System

The sunlight in Brazil is an abundant and free resource. Through the initiative of the NGO Revolusolar, thirty families from Morro da Babilônia, in Leme, southern Rio, will benefit from the first solar power plant in a slum in Brazil.

RevoluSolar, a community-based non-profit organization, produces, researches, and manages renewable energy in the communities of Morro da Babilônia and Chapéu Mangueira in the southern region of Rio.

Through collaborative volunteer work involving electricians, slum entrepreneurs, and the Residents’ Association of Babilônia and Chapéu Mangueira, RevoluSolar seeks to educate residents about the benefits of renewable energy.

There will be 58 panels installed on the roof of the Residents’ Association. The installation will be carried out by electrical and solar installation professionals from the community, trained by Revolusolar. The target audience for the project will be residents of the Babilônia and Chapéu Mangueira slums who pay for electricity regularly.

How It Will Work

When the plant starts generating electricity, residents will have their electricity bills reduced by using the energy credits generated by the solar panels. Part of the savings obtained by residents will go to a Community Fund, which will provide compensation for local workers. This Fund will also contribute to financing new installations, bringing the benefits of solar energy to more families in the community.

The project also has partnerships with solar energy companies that will provide equipment and services for the operation of the system. These companies are: LONGi Solar (58 solar panels), Goodwe Solar (1 inverter), Canal Solar and Solarize (scholarships for courses), LocalPower (installation team), and Pieta (certification software).

Interested parties can make a donation starting at R$ 20 through the website benfeitoria.com/revolusolar. The goal is to reach the amount of R$ 100,000 by next Tuesday.
