In 2020, the Solar Energy Sector Attracted More Than R$ 13 Billion in Investments. For 2021, Sector Should Surpass

According to data from Absolar – Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy, Brazil reaches a new record in the photovoltaic solar energy sector. Investments in the area exceed 13 billion reais. This year, entrepreneurs and companies in the segment project that industries from various sectors will continue investing.

Investments by Companies in the Segment:

Aldo Solar, an equipment distributor, earned more than 1.6 billion reais last year and now estimates that private investment in 13,000 concessions throughout Brazil will exceed 4.5 billion reais.

Aldo Pereira Teixeira, founder and president of the company, says, “Our goal is to grow 100%. We expect to provide over 1GW of power, with more than 100,000 solar power generators sold throughout Brazil.”

Energy Generation Capacity of Brazil:

In terms of clean and renewable energy generation capacity, Brazil currently has 7.5 gigawatts (GW) of photovoltaic solar energy to generate electricity, incorporating large factories and small to medium systems installed on rooftops, external walls, and land (distributed generation), which accounts for more than half of the installed capacity of the Itaipu Hydroelectric Plant, the largest in Brazil and the second largest in the world.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

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.

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.

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.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Engine without traditional cylinder head could change the future of hybrids: Aramco creates DHE technology that simplifies mechanics, promises to reduce consumption by up to 25%, and challenges decades of evolution in combustion engines.

Free driver’s license for Brazilians: Detran starts a new phase for 3,000 selected individuals, but a mandatory requirement and a deadline that ends in a few days may cause candidates to lose the benefit.

Former millionaire banana producer in Corupá went bankrupt in Brazil, lost a farm with 50,000 plants and trucks after defaults, went to the United States with $28 in his pocket, and rebuilt his life with a flooring company in Massachusetts.

In the US, an operator offers an incentive of up to $800 to attract customers from competing companies.

China builds in the desert the world’s tallest sand and gravel dam, a giant 247 meters high, the height of an 80-story building, pouring enough material to fill 7,560 Olympic swimming pools and investing around R$ 6.2 billion to tame 1.1 billion m³ of water in Xinjiang.

Chevrolet Onix leads the efficiency ranking among flex-fuel cars by Inmetro, achieves almost 18 km/l, and costs less than R$ 100,000.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

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.
