Brazil is more advanced than most countries around the globe when it comes to clean energy, but the solar power presence is yet to be expanded in the energy matrix. This article outlines the certification process of solar panels to Brazil.
Brazil is known for having one of the most sustainable energy matrix in the world, with 41,2% of the domestic supply composed of renewable energy, mainly of sugarcane biomass and hydropower. On the contrary as many would expect, the country does not yet take advantage of its solar potential, which is extremely high due to the country’s geographic position.
Foreign manufacturers for photovoltaic systems see Brazil as a potential market, but in order to import and commercialise solar panels in Brazil, it is necessary for the products to be approved by Inmetro, and that they follow certain local standards.
