A solar energy became the third largest source of energy in Brazil, according to data from the Brazilian Association of Solar Energy (Absolar). According to the data, it surpassed thermoelectric plants and natural gas and biomass energy in terms of power. Currently, solar energy is second only to hydroelectric and wind energy.

Absolar made a mapping of solar energy, and found 16.4 gigawatts (GW) of this type of energy in large plants and even in smaller projects, of own production.
In the case of investments for the country, solar energy has already brought more than R$ 86.2 billion to Brazil, in addition to R$ 22.8 billion for public coffers and 479.8 thousand job openings. These numbers have been accumulated since 2012, according to Absolar.
For the environment, the increase in the use of solar energy avoided the emission of around 23.6 million CO2, according to information from the association. Furthermore, according to Carlos Dornellas, who is a director at Absolar, the price of electricity generated by the plants solar energy can be ten times smaller than emergency fossil thermoelectric plants or energy imported from other countries. These two are the most responsible for increasing the value of energy to the consumer.
According to Dornellas, “the source helps to diversify the supply of electricity in the country, reducing the pressure on water resources and the risk of further increases in the electricity bill population".
With the advancement of solar energy and wind energy, energy storage batteries have been gaining ground around the world, but it is still not so common in Brazil.
