CooperSol Formally Launched Its Solar Plant with 2,880 Photovoltaic Solar Panels in the State of Amazonas

Last Sunday (11), the Amazonas Renewable Energy Cooperative formally launched its solar plant with 2,880 photovoltaic solar panels at kilometer 23 of the AM-010 highway. This solar plant generates energy for 86 members, but also distributes energy to companies.

This is the largest investment in the area of photovoltaic solar energy in Amazonas, paying off all its shares in less than six months. Given this growth, the company in Amazonas will build two more solar plants, expanding to another 4,656 photovoltaic solar panels by September 2021. The second solar plant will be on BR 174 at kilometer 14 and the third next to the current one on the AM-010 highway. In total, there will be 7,536 photovoltaic solar panels from the largest solar energy cooperative in the Amazon.

According to José Merched Chaar, president of CooperSol, the creation of a photovoltaic solar energy plant will be able to reduce the electricity bills of its members and all companies that purchase the excess energy in Amazonas.

Investments in Solar Energy in Brazil Are Growing

According to Aneel, Brazil has about 30 GW of authorized capacity, involving 767 projects with construction not yet started. The photovoltaic solar projects represent 415 projects, totaling 16.4 GW.

Additionally, Brazil has one of the largest silicon reserves in the world. This makes the country a privileged location to develop a local industry for the production of solar cells and the creation of one or more solar plants, generating jobs and tax returns. For this, it would be necessary to invest in research for the development of silicon purification to achieve the so-called “solar grade,” which is higher than the silicon used in steelmaking.

Aggressive Prices

Less surprised by the low prices was Marcio Takata, head of the Brazilian consultancy Greener. In a statement to the pv magazine, he said he expected a very competitive auction, considering the large number of competing photovoltaic projects in the auction, whose combined capacity is about 20 GW.

“In addition to the heightened competition, the combination of several factors was important for such aggressive pricing: the composition of more efficient capital structures, additional revenues guaranteed by the anticipation of the plants’ start of operations, synergies with the economies of scale of the projects, along with an accelerated learning curve in the sector were fundamental factors that led to more efficient projects from a technical and financial perspective,” Takata said.

He added that it is important to consider that some key variables directly impacting project profitability, such as exchange rates, interest rates, and access to financing, are strongly influenced by the economic and political environment.

About CooperSol

Established on July 28, 2020, with the goal of producing its own energy, which will be distributed in the form of credits in kilowatt-hours on the electricity bills of the members. This project is a pioneer in the State of Amazonas, and the company has legally completed all stages for operation.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
