Entrepreneurs who created their own business in the photovoltaic segment managed to earn more than R$15 thousand per month, according to a recent survey on the performance of professionals in Brazil carried out by 77Sol.

Furthermore, the monthly average for a solar integrator, a professional responsible for installing photovoltaic panels, is around R$7.

The solar energy market in Brazil has already employed, directly and indirectly, around 264 thousand professionals over the last year, placing the country fourth in the ranking of jobs in the sector in 2023, according to the IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency).

The solar entrepreneur can work in several areas, from the sale and installation of solar energy, to the creation of photovoltaic projects, evaluation of solar kits and pre and post-sales support to customers.

According to Luca Milani, CEO and founder of 77Sol, in addition to being a profitable career, the solar energy sector still has a lot of room for new entrepreneurs, as it is an expanding market, but still with little qualified workforce ready to work. 

“It is also worth noting that the trend is for the demand for solar energy to increase more and more from now on and as this happens, the opportunities to innovate and prosper in the sector also expand and reach practically unlimited levels”, he states. 

To work as an entrepreneur in this area, you need technical training in solar energy courses or engineering, which provides a solid foundation in scientific and technological principles. In addition, you need to invest in ongoing training, keeping up with technological innovations and regulations in the sector. 

“With the high interest in solar energy in Brazil, both by large companies and by owners of residential properties and small businesses, there are already several quality courses and training available on the market that contribute to knowledge in the area and drive new entrepreneurs in the sector”, concludes Milani.
