The Council of ABSOLAR (Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy) announced, on the morning of this Monday (30), the name of three new state coordinators. The entity approved the appointment of Daniel Sobrinho, from the company DS Engenharia and federal advisor of CONFEA (Federal Council of Engineering and Agronomy), in Pará; Tiago Vianna de Arruda, from Oeste Solar Energia, in Mato Grosso; and Edlailson Pimentel da Silva, from EngeAmazon Energias Renováveis and vice president of CREA-AC (Regional Council of Engineering and Agronomy), in Acre.
According to the association, the appointment of new coordinators aims to reinforce regional collaboration in the development of public policies and private programs, with the aim of promoting the economic growth of the photovoltaic market in the country, given that the entity now has nine representatives from Brazil.
Before the new names, the association already had professionals in the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Rio de Janeiro, Paraná, Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo. The association's intention is to cover all states of the federation.
