Side Event
Agrivoltaics in Brazil: Unlocking Potential and Business Opportunities through German-Brazilian Expertise

Wednesday, August 28, 2024, 10:30 am - 01:30 pm

Expo Center Norte, 1st floor Santana 1

In recent years, solar power has experienced significant global growth. Particularly, in Brazil's remote areas solar energy has a great potential since it enables decentralized and sustainable power generation with low maintenance. Yet, the land necessary for solar installations diminishes the available land for agriculture. One solution to this conflict is the implementation of agrivoltaics systems ("Agri-PV") which optimize land use efficiency by integrating agricultural activities with photovoltaic energy generation. Brazil is a major global agricultural producer, with agribusiness playing a crucial role in its economy. The versatility of Agri-PV technologies allows adaptation to both large and small-scale agriculture. The high energy demand, especially in large-scale agriculture emphasizes the need for energy self-production. Vertically installed bifacial Agri-PV systems are seen as suitable solutions capable of supporting large-scale machinery. In addition, family farming is very common in Brazil, representing 77% of agricultural establishments in Brazil and providing about 70% of the country's food. These systems offer social and economic opportunities for family farmers by providing greater energy autonomy for self-consumption and the potential for income diversification. In this workshop, you will learn more about the potential of agrivoltaics technology and the Brazilian market, gain insights into the market and previous experiences from Germany and get to know the companies from both countries that offer themselves for cooperation and joint projects in the Brazilian market.This event is organised by the German-Brazilian Energy Partnership, established as a platform for political dialogue between the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. This initiative is being realised in cooperation with the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (ABSOLAR) and the German Solar Association (BSW). >> Tickets << A special discount is available from the event organizer, GIZ Brazil.
