Cost reduction According to Haratz, in 2016 Brazil presented around 6 thousand solar power generation units installed, between residential and commercial ones. The estimate is that until the end of 2017 this number reaches 20 thousand units, tripling the annual amount. This significant increasing is completely bond to the investment values in photovoltaic solar power. If the perspective of cost reduction with equipment for the next years is confirmed, Haratz believes that the solar panels prices will be reduced by half until 2024. In the projection of Absolar’s President for 2017, the expectation is a continuing growing of solar power technology in Brazil, since even in years of political and economic turbulence, the sector showed 100% growing.

The success of distributed generation At the end of January, the Ministry of Mines and Energy showed how much the incentive for power generation by the consumers – known as micro and mini distributed generation – have been well succeeded. According to Aneel data, the country already registered 7,610 connections of distributed generation until January 2017, totalizing an installed power of 73,569 KW. Among the most used renewable energies, the photovoltaic solar source is the one which greater highlight, with 7,528 connections. In terms of installed power, the energy generated by the sun also comes out ahead with 57,606 KW. The great majority of distributed generation connections remain in residences. According to Aneel, 5,997 of the distributed generation connections meet the needs of this consumer class. And commerce is responsible for 1,186 accessions.
