The solar energy moved about $ 8 billion in new investments in Brazil at the beginning this year, according to the Canal Solar, based on data from monthly reports published by ABSOLAR (Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association).
Os numbers take into account the sum of contributions made both in the GD (distributed generation) how much GC (centralized generation) between the first weeks of January and March.
Since 2012, the photovoltaic source has already been responsible for capturing more than $ 129,6 billion in investments, according to the association. Of this total, R$88 billion were invested in the last two years alone, between March 2021 and 2023.
For ABSOLAR, all the post which has been recorded over the last decade has been important not only for the industry growth with consumers, as well as for the generation of jobs, preservation of environment and Social development the country.
By December of this year, the photovoltaic association's expectation is that accumulated investments at the source will surpass the R$170,9 billion mark since 2012.

- Solar energy will reach 34 GW of installed capacity in 2023;
- Latin America will register an entry of 319 GW in solar and wind by 2030.
The studies presented by the association also reveal that the growth of solar energy has caused the source to consolidate itself once and for all as the second largest in the Brazilian electricity matrix, currently with a 12% share and behind only hydro generation plants (50,6% ).
The data also revealed that, since 2012, more than 34,5 million tons of C02 were no longer emitted into the Brazilian atmosphere due to investments in the source, which, in the same period, was also responsible for generating 781,6 thousand direct jobs in the country.
