Brazil mining department of energy (MME) launched by 2024 7 gw installed a new solar photovoltaic goal of is almost twice the previous goal.

Brazil photovoltaic solar energy society (Absolar), executive director of Rodrigo Sauaia in an interview with reporters, said after the goal of "conservative", last year the photovoltaic performance after the success of the project contracting and after successful solar auction this year, has been raised.12, 2014, MME had announced in 2023 was only 3.5 GW of solar target.

Double mention the goals, Sauaia added: "we believe this is a very important step forward, to give promise of market and the government's interest in the correct signal, is used to develop a solar pv value chain and to the market to the country."

Had expected the country each year about 500 mw photovoltaic contracting, but after discussing with the industry, the government put forward a stronger signal, help to bring the value chain to Brazil.Sauaia said the goal is to help prove for component assembly production lines and solar cell manufacturing to the country and make pv projects more substantial investment.

Sauaia added that the government needs to development needs, financing and industrial policy three key areas to achieve its goals.Absolar, for example, recently said that Brazil must be established for domestic photovoltaic manufacturing "specific industry policy", so that it can produce solar power for planning the operation of sixty-one in 2017 to the required 2 gw of solar energy equipment.

According to related reports, Brazil's energy regulator EPE also predict that by 20204 Brazil will be installed is about 1.3 GW of small distributed power generation photovoltaic (pv).

Sauaia said the marks from the current 10 mw of the distributed power generation capacity increased significantly, but added: "Absolar think it is a bit of a conservative target. We believe that with appropriate policy implementation, to 2025 (a year) to present some one million photovoltaic system is possible. So, we will be able to contain about 2.5 GW of small distributed photovoltaic capacity grid."

Sauaia said, however, the distributed power generation market due to the more dependent on electricity price, equipment and parts of the exchange rate and tax, not so much in the hands of the government.State and city can also create your own plan to support the technology, make the government more difficult to predict the growth of the distributed generation.

Meanwhile, Brazil's renewable energy research firm of Instituto Ideal also announced its findings, distributed generation photovoltaic project cost in Brazil in 2014 dropped by 6.5%.Sauaia commented, the international price has been down for about 5-6% a year, so the Instituto Ideal results showed that Brazil is to follow the international trend of pv costs down.

He added: "however, some of the distributed power generation project is still dependent on imports and components, as a result, the part price and competitiveness is still under the influence of exchange rate volatility."
