While the Number of Photovoltaic Generation Installations Grew by 164% in 2019, the Credit Operations of the Cooperative Jumped by 220% in Terms of Solar Energy

According to the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel), 13.2 thousand new photovoltaic generation units were installed in Rio Grande do Sul in 2019, an increase of 164% compared to the previous year. Of this total, 6 thousand were supported by the credit lines offered by Sicredi, which represents more than 45% of the installations for solar energy generation.

“Sicredi is attentive to the needs of its members and the current demand for more sustainable solutions, such as the production of clean and renewable energy, which resulted in a 220% growth in the number of operations in this line of credit last year compared to 2018,” highlights the Vice President of Sicredi Central South/Southeast, Márcio Port. In financed values by Sicredi in RS, 2019 recorded an amount of R$ 427 million, an increase of 145% compared to 2018, when financing for acquiring equipment for solar energy generation reached R$ 174 million.

In 2019, several projects aimed at the installation of Solar Energy, for both residences and businesses, were enabled in the region through financing from Sicredi das Culturas RS/MG. For member André Bigolin from Ijuí, the choice for the renewable energy system arose from its benefits related to the environmental responsibility of renewable energy, and primarily, due to the savings on the electricity bill.

Dissatisfaction with Solar Energy

“I was quite dissatisfied with the electricity bill for my residence, which had been showing a very high amount. The environmental issue and the fact that renewable energy is clean energy, which can preserve our generation and future generations, also weighed in my decision. This savings I am achieving on the electricity bill allows me to use it to pay off the financing of the system, and from the project we carried out, in a period of 48 months, when I finish paying it off, I will have already gained a real return on my investment.”

Data from the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (Absolar) indicate that solar energy produced in the country represents 1.4% of the total national electricity matrix. In the Brazilian ranking of installed capacity, RS holds the second position, behind only Minas Gerais.

Dissatisfaction with Solar Energy

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

China modernizes the oldest metro line in Mexico City, taking on the renovation of 18.83 km, 20 stations, new trains, signaling, and maintenance for 19 years in one of the most crowded systems in Latin America.

Goodbye steel rebar? Scientists create 3D-printed plastic reinforcement that “bites” into concrete, prevents corrosion, and could change beams, slabs, and bridges in civil construction.

Small, automatic, and reliable car for around R$ 50,000: Kia Picanto combines economy, structural safety, good internal quality, and durable mechanics, but tests show that it makes sense mainly for urban use and not for those who frequently drive on highways.

A Danish company has installed in the Canary Islands a pioneering system that uses the Atlantic waves to generate electricity and produce drinking water at the same time, without fossil fuels and without relying on sun or wind, addressing at once two of the greatest needs of isolated islands.
