Análise econômica da utilização de energia solar : seus desafios e perspectivas no Brasil

Abstract

The advancement of technology has boosted a variety of electrical devices that result in exacerbated demands on energy resources, making it essential to seek additional investments in alternative energy sources to reduce the emission of polluting gases that are sustainable and have inexhaustible potential. With this, interest arises in solar energy, which is an alternative, renewable and sustainable source of energy that comes from electromagnetic radiation (light and heat) emanating from the capture of radiation emitted by the sun. The present study seeks to economically evaluate the use of solar energy and investigate the challenges of implementation and the perspectives of a new sustainable scenario for the future in Brazil. It is characterized as a narrative literature review, with the aim of evaluating and understanding photovoltaic energy. Theoretical references were selected for the research approach, through a historical and economic assessment of Brazil's development through analyzes and reports produced by the Energy Research Company (EPE). This made it possible to identify the increase in the use of solar energy in Brazil and how the country has an energy potential from the use of solar energy and its impact on sustainability.
