Clean energy is that, in its production process, does not release waste or polluting gases into the environment, or releases it at very low levels. Renewable energy is clean energy produced exclusively through renewable natural sources, such as wind, rain and sun.

The photovoltaic system is one of the ways of solar energy generation. Through this process, sunlight is transformed into energy (even on cloudy and rainy days), and the greater the incidence of light, the greater the amount of energy produced. The photovoltaic system uses panels with photovoltaic cells (produced with silicon or other semiconductor material). When the photovoltaic cell is exposed to the sun, it is heated and the electrons of the semiconductor material move, producing energy.

The photovoltaic system is growing all over the world because it produces energy in a sustainable way with ever lower costs. The advancement and cheapness of technology allows photovoltaic power plants to offer real resource savings also to residential, commercial and industrial consumers.

Brazil is one of the countries with the highest rate of solar radiation in the world, what makes the Brazilian potential for the production of photovoltaic energy huge. Our installed capacity today is 1.798 MW, but it corresponds to only 1% of the country’s total. Only in 2019, another 781MW of power was granted, which indicates the great growth of this market.

Due to the technological advances achieved over the past few years, the cost of producing photovoltaic energy is increasingly lower, which increases the profitability of the kw/h traded in the consumer market. On the other hand, energy consumption continues to grow, linked to the increasing demand for sustainable processes, which makes this a low risk market.
