Análise do crescimento da geração de energia fotovoltaica no Brasil

Abstract

In Brazil, the photovoltaic solar sector has developed at a rapid pace over the last 12 years. It is worth mentioning that the share of photovoltaic solar energy in Brazil's electrical matrix has grown significantly year after year. The present work, based on several bibliographic sources, aims to show the panorama of growth of photovoltaic solar energy in Brazil, considering its expansion from the testing phase to its popularization with the advent of ANEEL regulation (REN 482/2012). Another objective was to analyze both future growth projections and the consequences that resulted from the unplanned expansion of the sector. The expansion and popularization of the use of photovoltaic solar energy resulted in relevant social and economic impacts, including: the strengthening of the renewable electrical matrix; the democratization of solar energy consumption due to the continuous and progressive reduction in generation costs that positively impacts families with lower per capita income. In general, the results of this work indicate that distributed photovoltaic generation and centralized photovoltaic generation suffer direct interference from economic aspects and geographic location, respectively.
