In the evaluation of Gustavo Tegon, co-founder of Esfera Solar, having yet another Brazilian state reaching 1 GW in solar DG proves the growth of the sector in recent years. “It is yet another indication that proves that solar energy is a democratic source that fits in the pockets of all Brazilians. We hope that, in the coming months, some states in the Central-West, Northeast and North will also be able to reach this milestone (of 1 GW)”, he said.
Previously considered as a tool to reduce costs in large commercial establishments or large buildings, solar energy began to be installed in residential and commercial developments, rural properties and many others, and can be installed with Lowest price it's bigger ease of financing.
