At the Beginning of 2023, Those Interested in Acquiring Photovoltaic Panels Will Need to Pay a Fee for the Cost of the Power Grid

Expected to transition into a new phase on January 7, 2023, the legal symbol of solar energy autonomy will have its rules changed for those producing solar energy at home. Today, those with photovoltaic solar energy systems installed in homes or commercial spaces benefit from a fee exemption until 2045, which is specifically for the use of solar energy systems for micro and mini clean energy generators.

Thus, over the next 6 months, anyone acquiring a new photovoltaic solar energy system will retain the benefits provided by Aneel (National Electric Energy Agency) of not having to pay fees. The transition period was established by law 14.300/22, enacted this year.

Therefore, starting from the beginning of next year, new solar energy consumers will need to pay a constant fee during the first years of use, which will be related to the cost of the power grid. The initial percentage of the fee is 4.1% related to the energy produced, increasing to 24.3% by 2028.

During the Next Six Months, Customers Who Installed Photovoltaic Panels Will Be Exempt from Fees Until 2045

According to Thyenna Karen, CMO of MF Energy, the main advantage for a customer who purchases photovoltaic panels and is recognized within the next six months is the guarantee, until the year 2045, of not receiving any fee charges. Thus, the waiting period for the expected financial return after implementing a solar energy photovoltaic system will be longer. “Nowadays, (this time) is three to four years, reaching a maximum of five. It will increase to six, seven, depending on the taxation,” she details.  

In Ceará, the leader explains that the request for solar panel installations is high in residential sectors, commercial sectors, and across all segments, including industries. According to data from Absolar (Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy), 76.6% of customers consuming solar energy in Brazil are homeowners. This sector has over 1 million customers nationwide.  

“Regarding solar energy in Ceará, being a state close to the equator, we have a wonderful solar factor for energy generation. We have many conditions for generating clean energy through solar panels and also through wind energy,” reports Thyenna.  

Solar Energy Panels as Investment

With solar panels intended for residences starting at R$13,990, MF Energy offers services that meet the main demands regarding the installation of photovoltaic panels. The company has a solid team of engineers with skilled labor to operate in all stages of the work process, from installation to post-sale, with a mark of over 900 clients served just in Ceará.

Thus, until the 15th of this month, the company will also offer kits of photovoltaic energy panels for residences at promotional prices. Additionally, due to the rise in the dollar, the import costs have increased, leading to higher prices for numerous supplies, including photovoltaic energy panels. 

“The customer can count on a structure for any type of support, as they are acquiring equipment that has up to 25 years of warranty. So, investing in physical structure and human capital has always been essential for MF,” concludes the manager Thyenna Karen.
