Geração fotovoltaica distribuída: um mercado em desenvolvimento

An analysis of 5,563 Brazilian municipalities by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) and PUC-Rio reveals that distributed solar PV adoption is driven primarily by demand factors rather than natural resource availability. The study finds that municipalities with higher GDP, larger populations, and higher electricity tariffs have more PV units, while those with the highest solar radiation often have fewer. As of June 2017, only 1,478 municipalities had at least one distributed PV unit, with the highest concentration in Rio de Janeiro. The authors recommend that climate risk mitigation policies incorporate demand-side incentives and target poorer regions with high solar potential.

• Demand-side factors are more influential than solar radiation in determining the penetration of distributed photovoltaic generation; consequently, municipalities with lower annual solar radiation have, on average, more consumer units with distributed PV than those with higher radiation levels.
• The number of distributed photovoltaic units in Brazilian municipalities is positively correlated with higher Gross Domestic Product (GDP), larger population sizes, and higher electricity tariffs.
• As of June 2017, distributed photovoltaic generation was limited to 1,478 out of the 5,563 municipalities studied, with Rio de Janeiro recording the highest number of units in a single municipality at 436.
• While centralized solar generation represents only 0.1% of Brazil's centralized electricity matrix, decentralized solar generation accounts for nearly 70% of the decentralized supply and 99% of all installed consumer units in that category.
• Distributed generation can provide systemic benefits by reducing the need for investments in transmission and distribution expansion, as well as lowering environmental impacts, network loads, and transport losses.
