The Solar Photovoltaic Energy Association (Absolar) indicates that this year, the photovoltaic energy sector should generate at least 120 thousand new jobs, and new private investments could exceed R$19.7 billion this year. Most of the jobs will come from small and medium-sized companies in the distributed generation segment.
Absolar also says that in terms of production, the gigawatt (GW) capacity generated in Brazil should double in 2020. The sector should increase the revenue of the federal government, states and municipalities by more than R$5.3 billion this year. “Brazil has everything to gain from this source and is making good progress towards becoming a world leader in this sector, which is increasingly strategic in the world,” says Rodrigo Sauaia, president of Absolar.
