International Eletrosul Solar Project
As of: January 2021
The project supported the construction of the first one-megawatt photovoltaic plant in Florianópolis, Brazil, and prepared the installation of other plants. It included co-financing of the initial plant, transferring know-how, especially to the electricity supplier Eletrosul and other government agencies, and disseminated the results of the project. It is also provided advice on development of a commercialization strategy for the electricity generated as part of the pilot.
