NORMATIVE REGULATION OF SOLAR ENERGY IN BRAZIL AND ITS APPLICABILITY IN GOIÁS

THE NORMATIVE REGULATION OF SOLAR ENERGY IN BRAZIL AND ITS APPLICABILITY IN GOIÁS

Abstract

The article aims at the evolutionary analysis of the norms pertaining to the Brazilian photovoltaic electric energy sector, highlighting the survey of the energy balance in Brazil, in Goiás and in the municipality of Morrinhos. Through the methodology used, it was possible to demonstrate the value of the investment with the implementation of the photovoltaic system; the return of the installation (payback) and the amount of CO2 produced by the electrical matrix before and after the insertion of solar energy. It was found that the legislation presents, at first, the search for efficiency in electric production and consumption without waste, in response to the energy supply crisis faced by Brazil, with little emphasis on alternative sources of generation. At a later moment, it presents the search for sustainability in the scope of the electricity sector, due to environmental issues, under debate, greenhouse effect, water crisis and socio-environmental impacts. The environmental benefits from the use of the photovoltaic arrangement in Brazilian energy production show positive results.
