Artemisia’s latest Energy Impact Thesis, released in 2018, has hit the nail on the head, so far. The study showed that the demand for electricity should triple in Brazil by 2050, according to projections by the Energy Research Company (EPE).
“To meet future demand, it is necessary to consider actions to expand supply and rethink the efficiency of the entire chain, including the evaluation and encouragement of alternative ways of generating and distributing energy”, says Maure Pessanha, president of the Artemisia Council, who , the request of state, analyzed the main points of the thesis.
This expansion must take into account the purchasing power of the population, the “energy poverty” – a concept created in England to define the inability of people to acquire energy services to satisfy basic needs.
This scenario, aggravated by the water crisis, has already led financial institutions to create special credit lines to democratize access to cheaper and cleaner solar energy. This is the case with Caixa Econômica Federal, which launched a line to finance photovoltaic projects for individuals, and Santander, which created the Giro Sustentável PJ line, aimed at sustainable projects in residential condominiums.

Born to solve the pains of this market, small and medium solar energy businesses also focus on democratization. “The financing enables lower-income customers to pay installments similar in value to the energy bill without the photovoltaic system”, says Artur Bernardo, commercial director of Dinâmica Energia Solar, which has financed more than 700 projects, from solar farms to solar installations. small size.
Meu Financing Solar, credit fintech for solar energy that was born from Portal Solar and became a joint venture with Banco BV, completed one year in October with more than 40,000 proposals paid – 70% of which were focused on residential installations.
The startup covers 100% of the value in projects of up to R$500,000 for individuals and R$3 million for companies, offering up to 84 installments and 120 days to start paying. Among customers seeking financing, 48% have a monthly income below R$5,000, and another 22% earn between R$5,000 and R$10,000.
The Solfácil platform, which combines financing solutions and solar equipment marketplace, has just raised R$1.28 billion to finance photovoltaic systems. The resources are being used in credit lines for individuals, small businesses and rural producers.
In addition to financial activities, the startup created a solar marketplace, which connects distributors to integrators. The platform offers more than 1.5 thousand kits for installation, facilitating the quotation and search by the solar integrator for each project, whether residential, commercial or agribusiness. “We offer a digital experience, a portfolio of several brands and options at competitive prices and prompt delivery”, highlights Fabio Carrara, CEO and co-founder of Solfácil.
With more than 400 franchised units and present in all states, Energy Brasil has created a payment system that has its own machine and allows the customer to parcel the solar kit in several cards and in up to 12 installments. The information is from the newspaper The State of São Paulo.
