O Brazil sured the mark 45 GW of installed power in solar energy, a number that is equivalent to 19% of the Brazilian electrical matrix. The data are from ABSOLAR (Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association).
According to the association, solar energy avoided the emission of 55 million tons of CO2 during electricity generation.
Only in GD (distributed generation), solar technology represents 99,9% of connections in the country, equivalent to 30,7 GW of installed power. In addition to about BRL 148,82 billion in investments, R$44,6 billion in revenue to public coffers and more than 920 thousand green jobs.
Already in GC (centralized generation), the country’s large solar plants have more than 14,8 GW of power. This number is equivalent to approximately BRL 62,9 billion in investments and more than 442,9 thousand green jobs generated in the same period.
In all, since 2012, the photovoltaic sector guaranteed more than R$65,5 billion in revenue to public coffers, more than BRL 211,7 billion in investments and generated more than 1,4 million green jobs in Brazil.
According to a Rodrigo SauaiaCEO of ABSOLAR, Brazil's leading role in solar energy in energy transition contributes to the social, economic development e environmental of society.
“In addition to accelerating the decarbonization of economic activities and helping to combat global warming, solar sources play an increasingly strategic role in the competitiveness of productive sectors, relief for the family budget, energy independence and prosperity of nations”, he explains.
Ronaldo Koloszuk, Chairman of the Board of Directors of ABSOLAR adds that those who invest in their own generation can save up to 90% on their energy bills. “The return is quick, as the price of modules fell by more than 50% last year.”
According to the June report of the WEF (World Economic Forum), Brazil occupies the 12th position in the ETI (Energy Transition Index). With the market constantly growing, the country continues to attract increasing investment in renewable energy.
“Solar energy is one of the most competitive sources in Brazil. And, therefore, it is the fastest growing, whether in small systems on roofs and land or in large plants connected to the SIN (National Interconnected System)” concluded Koloszuk.
