Brazilian PV Market update - THE VAST POTENTIAL OF THE NORTHEAST
Brazil has already surpassed the 1 GW mark of operating power of the photovoltaic solar source and must exceed 2 GW in 2018. According to the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy - ABSOLAR, there are more than 43 thousand distributed solar photovoltaic generation systems in operation , representing a growth of over 200% compared to the previous year, installed in homes, businesses, industries, rural properties and public buildings. Join us for a presentation and talk with Dr. Rodrigo Lopes Sauaia, Executive President of ABSOLAR, and understand what will be the role of the Northeast in the development of this promising expansion sector.
