Production green hydrogen from solar plants will be one of the innovations presented at Intersolar South America, between August 23 and 25, in São Paulo.
For the fourth time participating in the fair, L8 Energy, a company specialized in the industrialization and distribution of photovoltaic systems, will take to the event model of a green hydrogen plant integrated with a photovoltaic system.
According to Leandro Kuhn, CEO of L8 Group, hydrogen production requires a high electricity consumption and the solution presented by the company combines the generation of solar energy with the process, consuming electricity produced by the photovoltaic system itself.
“It is an environmentally sustainable alternative, using renewable sources that do not generate waste during production. When used as an energy source, hydrogen does not emit polluting gases such as carbon dioxide, only water vapor, which also contributes to minimizing global warming”, he explains.
In addition to innovations involving green hydrogen, L8 Energy will present its entire portfolio of solar generation products and solutions, such as inverters, modules, solar tiles, flexible thin films, solar lamps and vehicle electric chargers, for example.
“Intersolar South América is the main and largest fair for the photovoltaic sector in South America. The event presents the complete solar energy production chain and we will bring the main market trends to the public. It is an important event to meet the main manufacturers and distributors in the sector and strengthen our relationship with customers”, says Guilherme Nagamine, director of L8 Energy.
Expanding market
The demand for photovoltaic systems has been growing significantly in Brazil in recent years and, according to data from ABSOLAR (Brazilian Association of Solar and Photovoltaic Energy), Solar energy generation in homes is expected to double this year.
According to Guilherme Nagamine, many consumers have already noticed the advantages of investing in photovoltaic systems. Among the factors driving the sector, he highlights the environmental and sustainability appeal, with more people seeking renewable sources, combined with the economic benefits.
“With electricity increasingly expensive in Brazil, more families are investing in their own generation to reduce costs. There is also the tax incentive provided for in the Legal Framework for Distributed Generation that exempts taxes until 2045 for those who install a photovoltaic system by January 07, 2023”, he highlights.
Solar energy generation in the country reached 16.414 MW of installed capacity in June, equivalent to 8,1% of the entire Brazilian energy matrix, according to information released at the beginning of July by ABSOLAR. With that, the photovoltaic sector became the third largest electricity generator in the country, behind only hydro energy, which represents 53,9% and wind energy, with 10,8%.
