The Federal Government revoked nine former tariffs that benefited the import of photovoltaic modules and inverters, essential for solar energy projects.
The measure was made official by Resolution GECEX No. 682, published in the DOU (Official Gazette of the Union) on December 12, 2024, and comes into force in 60 days. Check out the publication by clicking here
The decision impacts the following products:
- Photovoltaic modules (NCM 8541.43.00): three codes were revoked. This NCM includes semiconductor devices, such as solar panels of different powers.
- Photovoltaic inverters (NCM 8504.40.90): six codes no longer have this benefit. The NCM covers equipment that converts the energy generated by the modules for use in on-grid and off-grid systems.
Wladimir Janousek, Secretary of Industry and Commerce at INEL (National Institute of Clean Energy), the revocation of the nine former tariffs was already expected, as they were processes that had already undergone public consultation for revocation.
“In the case of photovoltaic modules, all were motivated by the demonstration of companies with equivalent national production. In the case of inverters, the ex-tariffs were removed from models that had low use in the market”, he explains.
What changes for the market?
With the revocation, these equipments will no longer benefit from the reduction in Import Tax offered by the former tariffs.
Ex-tariffs are tax incentives applied to capital goods and IT equipment without equivalent domestic production. Their exclusion may signal changes in the incentive policy, bringing new challenges to the solar market at a time of strong expansion.

If there is national production, nothing is fairer than revoking tax benefits for imports.
Businessmen invested large sums to produce there in the country, generating jobs and local income.
It is only fair that the law be followed.
Brazil is going against the grain. Government agencies claim priority in reducing pollutants, but it's all a fallacy.
Where is the responsibility and commitment? Just to fill the MF's coffers.
What to Expect from This Anomaly, Political/Governmental,
What's There,
and of One ANEEL, Institution of Fais de Conta, Which, When All Is said and done, Never Openly Supported, With an Iron Fist, Clean Energy in Brazil!!
In Congress, it is a Den of Bankrupt, Negotiable Stars…
Finally, it is Us and God, in fact, in the cause, that regardless of all the dirt of such powers,
In 12 years, we made the nation the 3rd largest solar and wind PV generator in the world!!!

Millions of tons per day
A government that does not encourage solar energy is not only a global pariah and visionless, but also hypocritical and reckless in hosting environmental forums. Will it defend in Belém that it wants to expand its oil extraction, increasing the global average of 13 tons per day?
