Recurso energético e meio ambiente: um estudo sobre energia fotovoltaica e seu potencial para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico do sertão alagoano

Abstract

This research seeks to identify the use of solar / photovoltaic energy, with the purpose of promoting socioeconomic and environmental development in the backlands of Alagoas, with the purpose of launching a reflection on the consolidation of the Brazilian energy matrix, analyzing the possible advantages that solar energy presents for the energy sector and for the local economy, as well as the possible socioenvironmental benefits for the Alagoan hinterland. For this, the methodology used was qualitative and exploratory research, where a bibliographical and documentary survey was carried out in libraries and websites. The purpose is to search for data on the consolidation of the energy matrix in Alagoas, as well as studies that point to the feasibility of implementing solar energy in the Northeastern backlands, especially the Alagoas. It is concluded that the Sertão is feasible for the implementation of photovoltaic solar energy, however it lacks incentives and more studies on the subject. Finally, although photovoltaic solar energy is expensive to implement, it is seen that the Alagoan backwood has its advantages when developing this type of energy production.
