Solar energy presents highly positive characteristics for the environmental system. In working like a huge reactor to the fusion, the sun radiates daily in the earth an amount of energy of incomparable power, being the basic and indispensable source for practically all the energy sources used by man.

Every square meter of a solar panel installed saves 56 square meters of fertile lands from being flooded in the construction of new hydroelectric plants. A part of the millionth of solar energy that our nation receives during the year could represent an energy supply equivalent to 54 per cent of the national petroleum or twice the energy obtained with the burning of mineral coal.

Brazil presents excellent levels of insolation in all its territory. A renewable, abundant, and permanent source in the nation, the sun doesn't pollute nor harms the ecosystem. The use of this resource with such a high energy power is ideal, particularly in inhospitable or non-electrified areas.
A good example is the project Sun of the North in the State of Amap�, in the brasilian North region, that contributes with 20 MW.
