In 2022, the growth of the solar sector is accelerating, exactly as we imagined at the beginning of the year. More favorable conditions after the most critical period of the pandemic and the rush to take advantage of the benefits of previous regulations have seen the sector register new marks in installed capacity month after month.
We recently surpassed 19 GW. Of these, around 70% are in distributed generation, according to data from ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency).
Having a small solar plant on the roof has become a desire for many Brazilians. To achieve this, we need to facilitate access to financing for these plants, increase the qualifications of professionals working in the sector and improve business models, among other factors.
Na Ecori Solar Energy, we are developing an ecosystem of innovation and solutions with the aim of strengthening the market and providing more options for integrators.
The Ecori ecosystem is in its infancy, but the idea is that it will grow over time to generate even more opportunities for Ecori customers and, consequently, for end consumers.
The Ecori ecosystem will operate in four areas – and our gaze is turning to solutions that complement each other. Our main objective is to make the market grow together with us, to have people increasingly closer so that they also have a sense of belonging to Ecori.
A share is one of four companies and operates in remote generation with a focus on Group B consumers, without a roof, who cannot generate energy at home, whether because they live in apartments or rental houses.
Comparta operates by managing energy from remote plants, which allow the transfer of generated credits – we will not work with consumers who have a roof and can therefore purchase their own plants with our integrator partners.
The second business area connected with Comparta is the construction of our own plants, in which there will also be the possibility of partnership with our integrator partners. We will build remote plants that can be shared within Comparta, which will manage the sale of energy.
Thinking about financing lines for the Ecori ecosystem, we brought Sunnier, a fintech specialized in financing of photovoltaic plants. The company will only finance installations of integrators that have the Ecori Professional Certification. It is a super technological product, with approval by WhatsApp.
And we chose certified companies because they deliver quality products, automatically reducing defaults and reducing possible legal problems – which benefits the ecosystem and the photovoltaic sector as a whole.
Bridging the gap between customers, solar energy companies and distributors across Brazil is Market Solar. The company understands the needs of the end consumer and presents proposals from several reseller companies, carrying out a consultative sale that helps the consumer choose the system best suited to their needs.
A Izi, a structure manufacturer based in São José do Rio Preto, joins the Ecori ecosystem to contribute to controlling the chain and quality of supplies, as demand increases more than production each year. There is no point in having the modules, the inverters and no longer having control over the supplies, where we put everything, the accessories, the structure.
I am very happy with this important step we took in creating the Ecori ecosystem and with the certainty that the best way to grow is by creating opportunities for our partners to also grow and so we can develop more businesses together.
