Dear readers,
In this special edition, we explore crucial topics shaping the future of renewable energy, starting with a cover story on the essential process of Due Diligence, presented in an exclusive interview with Geraldo Silveira, Engineering Manager at CS Consultoria.
This conversation, led by the journalist Henrique Hein, offers valuable insights on how to ensure safe and sustainable investments. In addition, we bring a Case Study that addresses the correction of the power factor in photovoltaic systems, prepared by CS Consultoria engineers.
The Electric Mobility section features an enlightening article by Rubens Morelli on the safety of vehicle charger installations in homes. Complementing the issue, an article by José Marangon investigates the benefits of distributed generation and storage as promising solutions for energy security.
In this edition, we also have contributions from several researchers who analyze the certification of photovoltaic modules and the impact of artificial intelligence on energy demand.
Photovoltaic architecture in Brazil and people management in business are also topics covered, further enriching the content of this magazine.
We hope that the discussions presented here will inspire new ideas and foster debates about a more sustainable future.
Good reading!
