Introduction
Brazil has a great potential for solar energy generation, but this is still a developing market. In 2012, the Brazilian Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) published a new resolution (482/2012) to aid the connection of renewable energy systems to the distribution grid. Additionally, it created an energy compensation system internationally known as net metering. For further reading, visit Net Metering in Brazil
In 2014, the government organized the first specific PV auction, followed by others in 2015. In the 10 Year Plan of Energy Expansion 2026, the Energy Research Company (EPE) foresees an annual offer of 1000 MW of solar photovoltaic energy in Brazil by 2020. To read more about the solar auctions, visit Energy Auctions in Brazil.
EPE also produced a report on the technically accepted projects for the 2nd Reserve Energy Auction in 2016, which is available in (English version).pdf English here.
Information on the Brazilian Potential, can be found at América do Sol or Brazilian Solar Atlas
Solar PV Knowledge and studies in América do Sol Project
The Institute for the Development of Alternative Energies in Latin America (IDEAL) launched the Project América do Sol in 2010, aiming to spread knowledge about Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technology and, therefore, encouraging the widespread adoption of this energy source in Brazil.
In a digital platform, América do Sol brings together a collection of educational material and interactive tools, such as the Solar Simulator and an online registry of companies that operate in the Brazilian market. The project was developed with support from the German Cooperation for Sustainable Development, through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the German KfW development bank, and the PV Group of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC).
Concentrating Solar Power Brazilian Digital Platform
With the goal of disseminating knowledge on solar thermal technology, the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) and the German Cooperation for Sustainable Development through the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the KfW Development Bank developed an Online Platform for Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) http://energiaheliotermica.gov.br/en/, under the Concentrating Solar Power Project (Projeto Energia Heliotérmica).
In this cooperation project, MCTI and GIZ created the conditions for the application and dissemination of CSP technologies in Brazil. The dissemination of knowledge on solar thermal technology reflects one of the main activities of the project. Therefore, cooperation has been established with the Brazilian Institute for Information in Science and Technology (IBICT), focusing on providing updated information on solar thermal technology and its applications in Brazil.
