In the light of the current moment of transformation of the electricity sector in Brazil and elsewhere, with a growing uptake of utility-scale wind and solar power plants, this work shows that the temporal complementary of wind and solar resources in the Brazilian Northeast is consistent and it can have a major role in the optimal portfolio design.
Brazil shows a slight preference for central inverters, which are used in 54.03% of projects, compared to 45.97% for string inverters. They’re especially favored for large-scale PV farms. But why lean towards central inverters? A solar inverter converts the DC power from solar panels into AC power, which is necessary for supplying the grid.
Today, after decades of investment in research and innovation, Brazil now leads the G20 with 89% of its power derived from renewables, and industry experts believe there is a good potential for further growth. Get the latest insights on the renewables sector with our comprehensive report.
Trackers dominate Brazil’s utility-scale solar sector, with 94.85% of installations opting for this technology. In contrast, fixed structures are used in only 4.32% of projects, and East-West configurations make up a minor 0.83%.
