The NDTV Group, a television network based in Florianópolis (SC), is receiving the largest photovoltaic DG (distributed generation) plant in the world South from Brazil, according to Nexen, responsible for the project. The plant, which has 2.6 MWp, was built in the city of Piratuba (SC) and will offset the expenses of five of the company's broadcasters.

Contacts for the construction of the project began in 2019 and the installation is expected to be completed by the beginning of March this year. According to Nexen, 5,840 450 W Canadian modules and 20 110 kW Sungrow inverters were used. The plant should generate around 3500 MWh/year.

Furthermore, they used structures from SSM Solar do Brasil – SL001 – which were designed for an isopleth of 40m/s, the pillars in A36 structural steel profile, aluminum purlins and H2 profile.

The photovoltaic system occupies an area of approximately 13,500 m². In total, R$ 15 million were invested in the implementation of the Complex. This amount of energy is enough, according to the company, to supply 18,505 homes per year with 200 kWh of monthly consumption.

  1. Through the generation of electrical energy through this system, it will be able to reduce the emission of 27.8 THOUSAND TONS OF CO2 per year. Equivalent to 1.7 million trees per year.
    Much more than was deforested. Consider this for 25 or 30 years…Here’s a tip.
