The Project Includes the Installation of 1,600 Solar Photovoltaic Panels on the Roof of the Building Attached to the Ministry of Defense

The project for the implementation of the solar photovoltaic plant, at the Esplanada dos Ministérios of the efficiency spending program at the Ministry of Defense, has been in operation for over 90 days and has been generating renewable and clean energy, in addition to providing savings of financial resources. Morro da Babilônia, in the South Zone of Rio, will receive the first solar power plant in a favela in Brazil

Covering an area of approximately 3,200 m², the pilot project includes the installation of 1,600 photovoltaic panels on the roof of the building attached to the Ministry of Defense.

The plant has an installed capacity of 528 kWp and generates, on average, 72,000 KWh/month, which is enough energy to supply about 350 low-income households.

Costs

With the new solar photovoltaic plant, it is possible to meet more than 50% of the energy consumed by the Annex of the Ministry of Defense, saving 69,513 kg of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.

The Ministry of Defense could reduce more than 40% of its monthly energy bill. When energy consumption is less than the capacity generated by the solar plant, the surplus will be made available to the Companhia Energética de Brasília (CEB), generating credit for the injected energy and a discount on the electricity bill.

R$ 2.4 million was invested in the project for the implementation of the solar photovoltaic plant at the Esplanada dos Ministérios, and the return is estimated to be around six years. The system’s lifespan is 25 years.
