Awakening to a new energy era
The global energy transition is in full swing, driven by growing recognition of the harmful impacts of traditional energy sources such as fossil fuels, coal-fired power plants and nuclear power plants. The shift towards cleaner and renewable sources, particularly photovoltaic solar energy – which already represents 15% of the Brazilian energy matrix – is essential to mitigate damage to the environment.
Conventional energy sources have left a legacy of environmental degradation, contributing significantly to climate change, air pollution and dependence on limited resources concentrated in geopolitically unstable regions. On the other hand, diversification towards renewable sources, widely distributed geographically, not only strengthens energy security but also minimizes the associated geopolitical risks.
Driving growth and innovation
This transition not only eases the burden on the environment, but also catalyzes economic growth, generates jobs in the renewable energy sector – with the Brazilian photovoltaic market employing more than 214 thousand workers in 2022 – and promotes technological innovation. Furthermore, it contributes to reducing costs associated with environmental disasters, paving the way for lasting economic stability.

Photovoltaic solar energy, a clean and sustainable alternative, has the advantage of not emitting pollutants during its generation. This feature is crucial for reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality. The abundance and constant availability of solar energy contrasts sharply with the finiteness of fossil fuels and uranium, underlining its viability as a long-term sustainable solution.
Challenges and paths to energy autonomy
A distributed generation presents an effective strategy to reduce dependence on large centralized infrastructures, thus increasing the resilience of the electrical grid and promoting the energy autonomy of communities and companies. However, contradictions and challenges are faced, evidenced by ambiguous government policies, such as PL 11.247/2018, highlighting the need for a collaborative effort for an authentic energy transition.
The energy transition is a global imperative that, when fully realized, promises to reduce environmental impacts, foster economic stability and ensure comprehensive energy security. In this panorama, photovoltaic solar energy stands out as a viable and promising alternative, offering benefits for both current and future generations. Thus, a path towards a sustainable future is established, based on clean, renewable and inexhaustible energy sources.
