The distributor and importer of photovoltaic systems Bluesun is expected to open, by the end of this month, a distribution center with the aim of uniting its three stocks. The 5 thousand square meter building, purchased by the company, and located in Limeira (SP), will also include a space to teach courses to its franchisees and integrators.
The distributor, present in the Top 10 distribution of photovoltaic systems, according to Greener, has been on the market since 2008 and, currently, has closed, on average, one franchise per day, with a weekly output of around 200 kits, even during the pandemic .
“Bluesun is one of the pioneers in Brazil in installing photovoltaic systems, as it started its activities in 2008, when only off-grid systems existed”, emphasizes Roberto Caurim, CEO of the company.
Starting in 2012, with REN 482 (Normative Resolution No. 482/2012) from ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency), the company began studies on the installation of photovoltaic systems connected to the local electrical grid, also known as on- grid. Currently, there are 2,700 systems installed throughout Brazil.
“Today, due to not only having a high level of expertise in marketing products for the photovoltaic sector, but also market penetration throughout the national territory, we decided to franchise our business, in order to provide the franchisee with an excellent professional opportunity, through commercialization of our products” commented Caurim.
According to data from Bluesun, 80% of revenue is the result of the distribution of systems and 17 thousand integrators are registered in the country. In addition, there are more than 150 franchisees, with an estimated 250 more joining the group.
