Entenda porque a energia solar pode ser uma grande aliada para frear o aquecimento global

14 Jul, 21

Ano após ano, é possível acompanhar o agravamento do aquecimento global como reflexo dos impactos ambientais causados pela atividade humana. Dados do relatório especial do Painel Intergovernamental sobre Mudanças Climáticas (IPCC), divulgado pela ONU em 2018, já previam que, sem os cuidados necessários, em aproximadamente trinta anos é possível que se dobre o grau do aquecimento atual. Esse número já aumentou em torno de 0,5°C nos últimos 100 anos, e pode chegar a 2ºC antes da metade do século, atingindo o mínimo seguro para se viver no planeta Terra.

Meio rural responde por 13% da potência instalada de energia solar no Brasil

30 Jun, 21

Os consumidores do meio rural respondem por 13,2% da potência instalada de energia solar no país, atrás apenas dos consumidores residenciais (40,7%) e comércio e serviços (36,6%). Em número de estruturas instaladas, o campo responde por 7% do total, também atrás de consumidores residenciais (75,2%) e empresas de comércio e serviços (15,2%). A informação é da Associação Brasileira de Energia Solar Fotovoltaica (Absolar).

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Solar energy: How does it work?

After harnessing sunlight, solar energy is directed to the solar inverter, where it is converted into the electric energy used in the installation’s electric grid. That’s how energy is generated through the photovoltaic effect.

Why is solar energy important?

Photovoltaic energy is constant and renewable, so there’s no damage to the environment, as it doesn't need a large installation area. Its residues are eliminated to avoid pollution, deforestation, and other negative impacts. This is the most sought-after option because solar energy helps preserve the environment, being clean, renewable, and bringing numerous other benefits.

Why use photovoltaic solar energy?

It’s a fact that your electricity bill costs are significantly reduced when you use photovoltaic solar energy. This means that if you don’t use all the energy generated, the system will supply its surplus to the energy grid and be turned into energy credits that can be used in up to 60 months.

How does solar energy work when it rains?

As expected, a lower amount of solar energy is produced on rainy days than on sunny days. This is because solar panels need direct sunlight, meaning less solar energy is produced on rainy days. However, this doesn't mean that your photovoltaic system will stop working altogether. Moreover, rain contributes to the maintenance of your solar panels by removing dirt and other elements that might impair their operation. So, even with the low light caused by rainy weather, your system will continue to work, though more slowly.

Does solar energy work on cloudy days?

As happens on rainy days, there's also a drop in the generation of solar energy on cloudy days. Cloud formation reduces the amount of sunlight that reaches the solar panels, minimizing the production of energy. However, solar panels have been developed especially for situations like this, being able to take advantage of the reduced amount of sunlight caused by clouds. As such, with the generation of energy produced by the sun behind the clouds, regular use of energy produced by the sun behind the clouds becomes easier.

Why is installing solar energy worthwhile?

In addition to its easy installation, the solar energy system ensures efficiency, security, and savings by the very fact that it generates electricity. The energy source is thus collected simply and quickly by means of a renewable resource (sunlight) and then converted into electrical energy for your property. This makes solar energy worthwhile, as it is a sustainable, economical, and clean option.
