In 2017 the Boa Vista City Hall (RR) decided bet on photovoltaic solar source to save resources and contribute to the environment. From there to here, five years have passed e Today, all the savings generated by the use of renewable sources are being applied to investments for the population.
Each year, the municipality saves approximately R$5 million with investments made in the installation of photovoltaic solar energy generation plants at the Municipal Theater, Mini Terminal Luiz Canuto Chaves, at the São Francisco Municipal Market, at the Palácio 9 de Julho and at the parking lot of the Public Services Department.
Another 75 air-conditioned bus shelters also have solar panels and, according to City Hall, all the savings generated are reverted to investments in the public services sector, with 25% allocated to Education, 15% to Health and 5% to area of Social Assistance and Infrastructure of Boa Vista.
The Municipal Administration also highlights that when there are surpluses in the network, there is compensation in the following month. In other words, when the money comes back, the municipality uses the resources to pay for cleaning and maintenance of the city, with investments to revitalize public assets damaged by acts of vandalism.

This is an interesting type of report to be disseminated, as a suggestion, a new report could be carried out in depth with those responsible for these actions at City Hall to understand what motivated them, their knowledge at the time and how they made the process internally viable between the two powers. Congratulations on the report.
