Many Brazilians have suffered from changes and increases in electricity bill values. This is a common and recurring problem in our country: electricity is expensive! And as a necessary resource, people cannot be without it. But it is becoming increasingly difficult to pay the amounts charged by electricity companies. Therefore, a new way of generating energy is becoming popular in Brazil.

Residential Solar Energy has become increasingly popular in Brazil in recent years. In a nutshell, it is a system for generating electrical energy from sunlight, which is captured by solar panels installed on the roofs of homes. These panels convert solar energy into electricity, which can be used to power the home's electrical appliances and equipment.

In Brazil, favorable climatic conditions, with a high incidence of sunshine in several regions of the country, make solar energy an attractive option for residents. Furthermore, the Brazilian government has encouraged the adoption of residential solar energy through incentive policies, such as financing lines with reduced interest rates and the possibility of offsetting energy credits, known as “net metering”.

Net Metering is a system that allows the consumer to install a solar energy system and, when a surplus of energy is produced, this amount is credited to the electricity bill, reducing the amount to be paid in the following months. This measure makes investing in solar energy more accessible and attractive for residents.

Furthermore, another advantage is that the installation of residential solar energy systems has also become easier and faster. Specialized companies are offering complete solutions, from design to installation and maintenance of the panels.

There are several advantages to using residential solar energy. The main one is the significant reduction in the value of the electricity bill, since the energy generated by the solar panels is used directly in the home. This reduces dependence on the conventional electrical grid. Furthermore, solar energy is a clean and renewable source, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the preservation of the environment. 

In general, it is possible to achieve savings of up to 95% on your electricity bill with the installation of a suitable residential solar energy system. However, it is important to highlight that this percentage may vary depending on the design and consumption of the residence. In short, you take care of the planet and even pay less on your electricity bill!

It is worth remembering that, when installing a solar energy system, it is possible to use the electricity generated during the day, when the sun is present, thus reducing dependence on the conventional electrical grid. In some cases, it is even possible to reduce energy consumption from the grid during the day, taking full advantage of the solar energy generated by the panels.

To have a more accurate estimate of the savings on your electricity bill with residential solar energy, it is recommended to carry out a detailed study with a specialized professional, who will take into account the specific characteristics of the residence and the region.
