Outline ✴ Energy Matrix in Brazil ✴ Brazilian Solar Map ✴ Photovoltaic Panels ✴ Thermal Collectors Energy from the sun can be harnessed with photovoltaic panels (PV) and thermal collectors (TC). Whereas solar PV cells often silicon-based semiconductors and thin films, convert sunlight directly into electricity, solar thermal collectors convert it into heat. Solar energy presents itself as a growing alternative. While representing a small percentage (less than 0.1 %) of the global energy production, is the source of renewable energy the fastest growing in percentage. In Brazil, lack of public policies to encourage the production of electricity with photovoltaic panels connected to the network and the price of energy production are determining factors for the few experiments made with PV systems connected to the network (8 independent plants producing about 1.5 MW). Only in 2011 it was inaugurated in the first plant to generate electricity produced by PVs and connected to the grid, with a capacity of 1 MW. The largest use is in stand-alone systems, PV installations are growing in rural and isolated areas, especially in the Amazon region, where large distances make it impossible to build transmission grids and islands, signal buoys and telephone transmission towers. Brazil has large inhabitable areas with high solar irradiation, which enables production of clean electricity by building solar power plants with photovoltaic systems or concentrated solar power towers. Whereas production of solar electrical power has still a very small significance in Brazil, thermal energy by solar TCs has expanded and heavily contributed for the reduction of energy consumption for water heating. Today there are installed about 6 million m 2 of TCs for water heating, generating 4,000 MW of thermal energy, twice the power capacity of Brazilian nuclear plants. A rapid growth of TCs are expected and pushed by a set of factors: policy incentive using state and local laws; Governmental programs as “My House, My Life” with subsidized installation of TCs; and the facility of manufacturing solar heat systems with recycled PVC collectors or reused PET bottles.
