The state of São Paulo has emerged as a pacesetter in distributed photo voltaic technology (DG) in Brazil, boasting greater than 4 GW of put in energy, accounting for 14% of nationwide manufacturing. Following São Paulo are the states of Minas Gerais (3.7 GW), Rio Grande do Sul (2.7 GW), and Paraná (2.6 GW), in response to the most recent information from the National Electric Energy Agency ( Aneel) and the Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association (Absolar).
Distributed technology consists of microgeneration and minigeneration methods (as much as 5 MW) put in in residences, companies, industries, rural properties, and public buildings. São Paulo’s management on this sector is attributed to a number of elements, together with its standing as the biggest client market in Brazil and favorable laws. Legislative Decree 2,531/22, efficient since late 2022, exempts microgenerators, minigenerators, and photo voltaic vitality technology facilities from the circulation tax, which is able to enhance the manufacturing of photo voltaic vitality within the state.
Leandro Kuhn, the manager director of the L8 Group, highlighted the affect of this laws on the photo voltaic vitality sector in São Paulo. The L8 Group, by way of its subsidiary L8 Energa, specializes within the industrialization and distribution of photovoltaic methods. The firm just lately moved its distribution operations from Paraná to São Paulo to raised serve the rising wants of the state.
Nationwide, roughly 2.6 million grid-connected photovoltaic methods are in operation, with 79% positioned on residential properties. Installations within the business and repair sector account for 10.51%, and rural properties account for 8.65%, in response to Absolar.
“Many shoppers are already realizing the advantages of photo voltaic vitality and are investing in their very own distributed technology methods,” Kuhn mentioned. “In addition to financial advantages equivalent to low electrical energy prices, photo voltaic vitality is environmentally sustainable and reduces client dependence on regulated market operators.”
Kuhn additionally highlighted the pattern towards decentralization of electrical energy technology as a key technique for assembly future city electrical energy wants. Distributed technology not solely will increase the put in energy of the National Interconnected System (SIN) but in addition offers shoppers with a measure of vitality independence, making certain self-production even for short-term lack
According to Absolar, photovoltaic vitality is now the second largest supply in Brazil’s electrical energy matrix, with 41.8 GW of put in energy, representing 18.2% of the nation’s whole electrical energy manufacturing. Hydroelectricity stays the principle supply, holding 47.8% of the market with over 109.9 GW of put in energy.
