InterSolar South America Congress: Exploring the Future of Solar Energy in Latin America

The Intersolar South America Congress is a prominent event in the renewable energy sector in Latin America, focused on promoting the transition to clean energies through cross-sector innovation. Organized by Solar Promotion International, Aranda Eventos e Congressos, and Absolar, the congress stands out for its integration of energy generation, storage and distribution with electric mobility. With simultaneous translation available in the sessions from Portuguese to English and vice versa, the event brings together notable figures such as Fernando Marangoni (federal deputy) and Suresh Reddy (Indian ambassador to Brazil). Camila Ramos officially opened the activities by highlighting key technological innovations in the solar photovoltaic sector. The opening panel emphasized the continuous need to update on market trends while exploring topics such as artificial intelligence and green hydrogen. Dr. Florian Wessendorf underlines the urgency of the energy transition due to South America's abundant solar resources that can foster sustainable economic growth while reducing carbon emissions. Despite the financial challenges facing the Brazilian sector - including high interest rates - there is optimism about robust expansion driven by growing global demands for clean vehicle electrification.
