Storage for solar production in Brazil

Sustainable storage

The market of 1.1 million residential solar systems in Brazil (ABSOLAR estimate) will continue to be excluded from obtaining residential battery storage. Unless they pay 80% tax on the value of the product. In Europe there are around 2.4 million homes with solar and storage systems (according to research firm LCP-Delta) with the majority of batteries being sold with the PV system.

ABSOLAR itself generated excellent material on the subject, warning of the holding back of investments and improvements in energy management in the country if the Brazilian government does not review the high tax burden and ANEEL considers regulatory changes.

The storage for solar production in Brazil is a crucial point to proper address the energy transition. Only the benefits of peak-shaving and load-shifting contribute to significantly reducing the Grid's operating cost and the consumer's electricity bill.
