Adherence to photovoltaic energy is growing exponentially in Brazil. Proof of this is the milestone achieved by equipment distributor Aldo Solar of 200,000 systems sold.
Data from ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) shows that Brazil already has more than 677 thousand solar energy generators installed and distributed.
According to the company, the 200,000 solar energy generators sold by Aldo are equivalent to an approximate power of 1.95 GW and more than 5.2 million solar panels distributed across the country.
“At Aldo, a generator is shipped every two minutes, which is equivalent to almost a third of all generators installed in the continental country of Brazil. These are very significant numbers that reinforce Aldo's leadership and national operations, which currently has a 30% share in the distributed generation market”, highlights Aldo Pereira Teixeira, president of the company.
“When we come here to this court, we come with the desire to win. And the coolest thing is that there are no losers here. Only champions. Today we have reached another significant number of on-board generators. That's why we celebrate together and thank our partners and more than 13 thousand Aldo Solar customers. Congratulations to all of us and to solar energy”, he adds.
At the beginning of November, Aldo had already reached the milestone of 190 thousand generators sold. These new 10 thousand, sold in less than 30 days, indicate that Brazil has taken a big step towards sustainability.
Solar energy in Brazil
Still in 2021, it was possible to observe other historic milestones for solar energy being reached in Brazil. The country now ranks 14th in the IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency) ranking, being the only country in Latin America. Furthermore, it exceeded 12 GW in installed power from the solar source.
A survey by ABSOLAR (Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy) shows that photovoltaic systems represent more than 70% of the power of the Itaipu hydroelectric plant – the second largest hydroelectric plant in the world and the largest in Latin America.
Also according to data released by ABSOLAR in 2021, the largest share of solar energy generation comes from rooftops. This places the solar source in 5th place in the Brazilian electrical matrix.
