The price of inputs and components on the international market is falling this year, following a trend that has been going on since the second half of last year. O Canal Solar analyzed data from the first five months of this year from InfoLink Consulting price bulletins released weekly.
With insights from Wladimir Janousek, executive director at JCS Consultoria e Serviços, the report also highlights the impact of this on the Brazilian market, and what we can expect in the coming months.

Until later!
I still think that the price of solar energy components is abusive. The price is absolutely prohibitive for the majority of the Brazilian population. I would even go so far as to say that 80% or more of Brazilians cannot afford the price of a photovoltaic installation. Installments in 24, 48, 50, 60 and even 80 months only reflect the absurd price of the system. Furthermore, it is not advantageous for the government or for the concessionaires to encourage solar energy, as this causes a drop in tax revenue and a drop in corporate profits. I do not believe that this will change any time soon.
Good morning, you haven't seen anything absurd, what this energy company, AKA LADRONA ENERGISA, does here in the state of RONDÔNIA is absurd, with 3 plants in the state, and the most expensive energy in BRAZIL, THIS COUNTRY IS BANKRUPT, WITHOUT LAWS, AND ADMINISTERED BY CORRUPT PEOPLE, IT'S JUST LIKE VENEZUELA.
This true assault is a constant in the lives of Brazilians. Highways, hydroelectric plants, water and sewage networks are built with public money and, under the justification of improving services, everything is given “hands on deck” to groups linked to politicians, so that they start to enjoy public goods as if theirs were.
Without being connected to the grid and with batteries it's fine, here where I live there's no electricity every week, sometimes all night long!!!
Unfortunately, in less than 12 months, photovoltaic costs have fallen by 40 to 50%.
And whoever financed it today watched this shame that these political scoundrels do to our country
You're just kidding.
You said it all, Sérgio… Brazil only produces criminals in politics. All wanting to make easy money with agreements with shell companies…
Perfect comment from Sérgio!!!! I'm planning to install power and I don't want it connected to the grid, but a few batteries can handle the job.
Unless you really need energy from the batteries, you will just exchange the energy bill for the battery payment.
Why pay dearly for batteries when you can use the grid as a battery at virtually no cost? The fees charged on generated energy credits are insignificant compared to the value of purchasing and maintaining a system with batteries (offgrid).
I repeat, unless there is a power outage in your region and you need this guarantee, it is not viable to use batteries, in this case a diesel generator is much more effective and cheaper to maintain.
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU SAID IT ALL…
In my humble opinion, prices are falling because there is a saturation point in supply and demand, where, if prices continue to be prohibitive, the investment made in manufacturing loses value and thus forces prices to fall so that demand increases, making manufacturing costs viable... This is what I call the Microsoft effect, no matter how great an Apple is, its sales do not cover manufacturing costs. For me, this is a market, that is, one that sustains itself and generates profit.
THE ENERGY MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE GRID. FIRSTLY BECAUSE IN MILK PRODUCTION IF THE ENERGY LINE HAS A PROBLEM YOU WILL BE LEFT WITHOUT ENERGY. SECONDLY IT IS NO WONDER THAT COMPANIES ARE REQUIRING CONNECTION FOR THE JOB HANGER.
We also cannot forget that the government is trying to give new rules to the sector. As always uncertainty for everyone.
It is not enough to drop the value for solar energy, it is necessary for every Brazilian to switch from being connected to the grid to being independent (offgrid) so that they have autonomy, the same must be thought of in terms of water and sanitation. Because companies are built with public money and after being established they are trafficked by unscrupulous politicians who take their money behind the scenes and the population is in the hands of capitalists in services essential to life without any scruples.
Congratulations on the answer. It couldn't have been better.
Let's say no to privatization, but yes to ppps.
Well mentioned Sérgio, I have already traveled in countries where the mentality is autonomy and non-dependence on essential basic services, there no one wants electricity from ccs, the majority opt for solar panels, wind and even fossil fuel generators but they don't care about ccs , now that I am inactive, I live in a city, where the vision of politicians and local rainmakers is the non-provision of sewage in the city, here there is a septic tank, filter, sinkhole, so that relatives who own septic tank companies have their income guaranteed, This is our Brazil, every corner… A fiefdom.
I completely agree with you Sérgio, these days we only live on promises.
Congratulations, I share the same thought
What was said is sensible and true. A capitalist group dominating and manipulating the energy sector in this country!!!!
Excellent comment, it's a shame that the masses don't have the slightest idea of how things actually happen in Brazil.
That is great! We need more technology in the same panels through the reflection of sunlight.

Very good
