More than 50 million tons of CO2 are no longer emitted into the atmosphere due to solar energy in Brazil, according to data disclosed by ABSOLAR (Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association).
Of this amount, more than 5,5 million tons of carbon dioxide were avoided only in the first semester (January to June) this year.
According to ABSOLAR, Photovoltaic energy is one of the sources that most helps in decarbonization of the planet by emitting almost no polluting gases in its process.
“In addition to accelerating the decarbonization of economic activities and helping to combat global warming, solar sources play an increasingly strategic role in the competitiveness of productive sectors, relief for the family budget, energy independence and prosperity of nations”, explains Rodrigo Sauaia, CEO of the entity.
Not surprisingly, the technology is considered by national and international bodies to be an important tool in the fight against pollution and global warming.
Um report published by IEA (International Energy Agency), for example, highlights that the use of photovoltaic source can help the planet reduce CO2 emissions by more than 6 billion tons by 2050.
In absolute terms, this would be equivalent to removing all combustion cars from circulation on Earth for about a year.
However, this reality will only be possible with the expansion of the use of solar panels, in addition to increasing the generation capacity of photovoltaic plants, according to the Agency.

Congratulations on the report. Many of us Brazilians want to have our own plant and generate our own energy; but unfortunately for some reasons we cannot make this happen.
I acquired my License (Franchise) and today I have the opportunity to have my own renewable energy without having to purchase plates or install any equipment.
We get up to 20% for group B low voltage customers: homes, industries and companies and up to 30% group A high voltage customers.
