Panorama brasileiro dos empreendimentos micro e mini geradores fotovoltaicos

Abstract

For countries development the electric power has always been a limiting factor. Nowadays, with the advent of major environmental problems, the generation of energy from renewable sources is becoming increasingly intense on the world scene. Brazil has a hydro-based power genesis, failing to explore a large photovoltaic potential. In order to promote the use of photovoltaic energy in the country, the National Electricity Agency puts into vigor the Resolution 482/2012 and years later, it readjusts and begins to vigor the 687/2015. These are the definitions of micro and mini photovoltaic generators. Thus, this paper intends to quantify how many enterprises use photovoltaic energy according to the normative resolution no687 / 2015, for that it was used the ANEEL databases and with this data, it was produced thematic maps. With the elaboration of the maps, it was possible to affirm three main difficulties for photovoltaic energy not to dominate the national scenario of electric energy, cultural (i), physical (ii) and economic viability (iii).
