  1. Good morning Henry.
    All good ?
    As always great articles.
    Here's a tip.
    We are having difficulties here in São Paulo approving projects.
    Due to the adequacy of the input clocks.
    This is being asked to be placed outside.
    But the vast majority of homes don't have enough space.
    And the customer gives up on implementing solar energy due to this factor. We need a more defined stance from Eneel so as not to overcomplicate this issue.
    Thanks
