The rising cost of electricity and issues related to sustainability and environmental preservation have led consumers and businesses to seek sustainable alternatives for energy generation. This has led to a demand for projects using solar energy, which in 2018, according to data from the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (Absolar), reached the historic milestone of 500 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity in microgeneration and distributed minigeneration of photovoltaic energy.
"Homes and commercial developments that prioritize energy conservation and rainwater harvesting are popular," explains Guilherme Vargas, director of Hauz Engenharia. According to Vargas, interest in this type of construction using photovoltaic energy has grown in recent years, particularly since Normative Resolution 482/2012 of the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL), which authorized distributed generation. This allows consumers to generate their own electricity from renewable sources and supply the surplus to the local distribution company.
