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.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

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.

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.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

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.

Drivers with licenses nearing expiration received an unexpected reprieve on the calendar, but the Contran extension only applies to those within specific dates.

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.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.
