  2. The government of Rondônia should do the same here, as the most expensive energy in the country is here where there is even hydroelectricity.

  3. Solar energy generation is a great investment financially, in addition to being clean energy.
    Anyone who has a house and a bill of around 400 reais or more must install the system.
    Even if you don't have the cost available, you can finance and recover the investment in less than 4 years.
