Photovoltaic solar energy: The Brazilian reality

Renato N C Sakamoto

Universidad Camilo José Cela, Spain

T

he search for diversification of energy resources in Brazil has become extremely necessary due to two main factors. The first

is the current water situation that the country is going through; with the scarcity of rain the generation situation through

hydroelectric power plants was compromised. Since the significant reduction in rainfall, power generation by hydroelectric

plants has not been sufficient to supply the demand. Therefore, the need to use thermoelectric power plants has caused the price

of energy to increase. Secondly, the exploitation of renewable energy resources that brings more comfort, security, flexibility

and sustainability. In this scenario, photovoltaic solar energy presents itself as a technology in constant advance in Brazil

and around the world. Through a bibliographical review, this article aims to present the principle of the use of this energy,

considering the equipment and materials applied to the system, as well as the efficiency they can achieve. In addition, there is

a broader view of the use of sunlight to produce electricity through photovoltaic panels and the applications of this technology

in specific situations, such as installation on streetlights. The use of photovoltaic energy is a reality that states increasingly

in several countries. In Brazil the manufacturing of photovoltaic systems need to reach an industrial scale to reduce costs,

technical conditions and the uncertainty of the extent that this market will reach in the coming years also bring difficulties

to final consolidation of solar photovoltaic generation in Brazil. There are several uses for a system that generates electricity

through solar modules, as in the battery bank and off and on grid systems.
