Brazil's Solar Company Solatio Signs MoU to Develop 4GW Solar PV Plant for Green Hydrogen Production
Key Ideas
  • Solatio and Piauí state government sign MoU to build a 4GW solar PV plant in Bom Princípio do Piauí to produce green hydrogen in Parnaíba.
  • The investment of BRL$25 billion (US$4.74 billion) marks the plant as the largest in Brazil, showing growth in the country's solar energy sector.
  • Brazil's solar PV projects have seen growth with 17.5GW of modules imported last year; challenges faced in Q1 2023 due to credit access difficulties.
  • PV Tech conferences in the USA and Europe aim to map out PV manufacturing and supply channels for the coming years, emphasizing industry development.
Solatio, a solar company, has partnered with the Piauí state government in Brazil to develop a massive 4GW solar PV plant in Bom Princípio do Piauí. The plant aims to supply power for the production of green hydrogen in Parnaíba. With an investment of BRL$25 billion (US$4.74 billion), the project is set to be the largest solar plant in Brazil, showcasing the country's commitment to renewable energy. Brazil's solar energy sector has been expanding, evident from the 17.5GW of solar modules imported last year. However, challenges arose in Q1 2023 with a 60% decrease in module imports due to issues accessing credits and high-interest rates. Despite these hurdles, the industry is striving for growth and development. Additionally, PV Tech is organizing conferences to explore and map out the future of PV manufacturing and supply channels. These conferences in the USA and Europe aim to gather key stakeholders to discuss industry trends, product availability, and technological advancements. The goal is to pave the way for the solar energy sector's progress and sustainability in the coming years.
