Challenges and Opportunities in Distributed Solar Energy Generation: Regulation, Sustainability and Innovation in Brazil

The Intersolar congress focused on distributed generation (DG) in the midst of transformations in the energy sector, with an emphasis on DG2 plants and investor interest due to the falling costs of photovoltaic modules. ANEEL's Resolution 1098 seeks to solve problems such as the inversion of power flow in the electricity grid, but faces criticism due to pressure from distributors on Fast Track consumers for the slowness of the process. Bills 622 and 624/2023 propose replacing ongoing subsidies with investments in photovoltaic systems for needy families, despite objections. Cooperative models are emerging as viable solutions to democratize access to clean energy. Technical challenges include excessive plant overloads; UFSM has developed specific software for proper sizing according to current legislation. It is recommended that investors form Special Purpose Entities (SPEs). The study highlights variable paybacks depending on the region analyzed in Brazil under Law 14.300 on DG, while Klinger defends a positive view of this energy modality in the face of current regulatory challenges.
