The smarter E South America, known as Intersolar, began this Tuesday (25) in São Paulo (SP), bringing together companies, professionals and representatives of the sector to present technologies, launches and discuss the main themes of the solar energy market.
Held at Expo Center Norte, the fair runs until Thursday (27) and is part of The smarter E South America, which also brings together ees South America, Power2Drive South America and Eletrotec+EM-Power South America.
For this edition, the organization expects to receive more than 55 visitors and more than 600 exhibiting companies across all events.
Before the gates opened to the public, representatives from companies and organizations participated in the welcome program, which provided data on the current market scenario and prospects for the coming years.
Among the entities present were... ABSOLAR (Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association) and ABSAE (Brazilian Association of Energy Storage Solutions), also reinforcing the presence of storage in the discussions of this edition.
ABSOLAR presents agenda for the sector during opening.
During the opening program of Intersolar, the ABSOLAR He presented a proposed agenda for the next federal government, covering the period from 2027 to 2030, with measures focused on energy storage, expanding solar power generation, and universalizing access to electricity.
Structured around three fronts — Brazil Battery, Energy that Employs, and Sun for All — the agenda foresees the contracting of at least 8 GW of storage systems, the expansion of 18 GW in large solar power plants, and the expansion of access to solar energy associated with batteries to 3 million consumer units by 2030.
Regarding energy storage, the organization advocates for annual capacity auctions with technological neutrality and the expansion of battery use in conjunction with solar power generation, both in self-generation systems and in large photovoltaic plants.
According to ABSOLARThis measure could help to harness some of the renewable energy currently subject to generation cuts and increase the flexibility of the electrical system.
The organization estimates that, in 2025 alone, cuts in renewable energy generation will have represented an economic impact exceeding R$ 6 billion.
The agenda also proposes equalizing the tax burden on batteries with that of renewable energy sources. Currently, according to the association, taxation on storage systems can reach 84,8%.
“We need to move from a model where some of the available renewable energy is wasted to a system capable of storing and using it when it is most needed. Batteries are a strategic technology to provide flexibility to the system, reduce waste and increase energy security, as well as opening up space for a new production chain and attracting billions of reais in new investments,” stated Bárbara Rubim, president of the Board of Directors of [Company Name]. ABSOLAR.
Another approach presented seeks to utilize Brazil's availability of renewable energy to attract new loads, such as data centers, low-carbon energy-intensive industries, and green hydrogen projects.
In this scenario, the association forecasts 18 GW of new large solar power plants, with the potential, according to its calculations, to attract R$ 59,4 billion in investments by 2030.
The "Sun for All" initiative focuses on expanding access to electricity through a combination of solar generation and storage. The proposal aims to bring these systems to 3 million consumer units, including 500 isolated systems.
Among the measures are holding annual auctions for isolated systems, with a minimum participation of 50% from renewable sources, and replacing 100 diesel generators with solar systems associated with batteries.
According to ABSOLARThe three initiatives aim to expand the use of renewable resources available in the country and reduce structural costs of the electricity system without creating new tariff charges.
