With the advancement of solar energy in Brazil, choosing the right metal structures has become a key factor in ensuring system performance and durability. In a sector that's increasingly demanding in terms of efficiency, safety, and return on investment, the quality of such equipment—especially in ground-based plants—is crucial to the long-term success of projects.

In this context, the solutions developed by Metal Light stand out, such as the Estrutura Plus and Estrutura Premium lines – designed to meet the highest market demands, offering superior technical capacity, structural robustness, and application-specific solutions for both large-scale plants and custom projects. This analysis is by Danilo Coutinho, Engineering Director at Adias Sol.Ar – a partner company of the manufacturer. 

According to him, an example that illustrates this commitment is the plant in the city of Nova Resende, Minas Gerais, with an installed capacity of 3.6 MWp. "We were able to demonstrate in practice the reliability and performance of the Metal Light structures, combined with our technical support throughout all phases of the project.

Other examples include UFV Amontada 04 (1,26 MWp), located in Cruz, Ceará, with the company's Plus structure, and UFV Colômbia (700 kWp), in São Paulo, also with a Premium structure. According to Coutinho, in all cases, the projects faced different environmental and geographic conditions – and the structures proved to be decisive in ensuring safety and durability.

Sector advancement demands complete solutions

In the engineer's view, the Brazilian solar energy market is growing significantly, driven by incentive policies, greater environmental awareness, and the growing desire for energy independence. 

"Even so, we face significant challenges, such as the need for ongoing technical training, exchange rate fluctuations, and regulatory alignment that ensures legal certainty for investors and consumers," he noted.

“Overcoming these barriers requires not only cutting-edge technology, but also close service and efficient after-sales support, capable of guaranteeing operational continuity and the expected return on each investment,” concluded the director.
