The MDIC (Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services) has opened a public consultation on the Reference Note that will serve as the basis for evaluating local content in the analysis of requests for tariff exemptions for photovoltaic inverters.
According to the ministry, the documents were prepared based on information provided by national manufacturers and will still undergo a validation process before any eventual consolidation.
In the case of photovoltaic inverters, the technical note published by the MDIC (Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade) will serve as a reference for determining the existence of equivalent national production in requests for tariff exemptions.
The ex-tariff is a mechanism that allows for the temporary reduction of import tax on capital goods and information technology and telecommunications equipment that are not produced in the country in equivalent quantities.
The ministry's assessment indicates that the Brazilian inverter market remains heavily dependent on imports, although local production already exists in specific segments.
Also according to note released by MDICFour companies with domestic manufacturing and data transparency were identified: WEG, NHS, Livoltek, and Ingeteam.
The document also points out that national production has been structured around three main areas: inverters for residential and light commercial applications, hybrid equipment with integration into storage systems, and inverters aimed at commercial, industrial, and centralized power generation applications.
The note also establishes the technical parameters that should be considered in the analysis of requests for tariff exemptions for inverters. These include the equipment category, the type of connection, the nominal and maximum output power, and the nominal alternating current voltage.
