The solar energy that operate in the segment of distributed micro and minigeneration have already been responsible for creating more than 800 thousand jobs in Brazil, according to data from ABSOLAR (Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association). 

This is one volume that represents more than 70% of the total of 1,1 million de hiring carried out by the solar energy sector since 2012, when the expansion of the source began with the creation of the Resolution 482. 

A number of admissions created by own photovoltaic generation also exceeds by more than twice the total number of contracts carried out by the solar centralized generation segment (350 thousand professionals). 

Rodrigo SauaiaCEO of ABSOLAR, explains that the growth of distributed generation in the photovoltaic sector strengthens not only sustainability, but also relieves family budgets and increases competitiveness of Brazilian productive sectors. 

“Own generation installed on roofs, facades and small plots of land, directly in urban and consumption centers, also helps to strengthen and bring more resilience to the electrical grid, by concentrating electricity generation close to consumption locations,” he said. 

Solar GD grew 35% in one year

In addition to the milestone of more than 800 thousand jobs achieved, the data from ABSOLAR point out that the Solar GD in Brazil surpassed the 27 GW mark of installed power, a growth of 35% compared to the 20 GW in the same period last year. 

Currently, there are more than 2,4 million distributed generation solar systems installed in all regions of the country, with more than BRL 135 billion in new investments and a collection of R$32,7 billion to public coffers capitalized.
