"The suggestion is to attain income of 100 million reais (US$ 17.8 million) in this initial year of procedure alone," he stated.

When developed, the brand-new manufacturing facility will certainly be the 3rd biggest PV module production center in Brazil. The biggest 2 manufacturing facilities are the 380 MW center had as well as run by Canadian Solar as well as the 300 MW manufacturing facility run by China-based BYD.

Components generated in Brazil are being provided a solid benefit in the Brazilian solar market, as projects including in your area made parts have accessibility to funding from Brazilian growth financial institution BNDES, as well as the Banco do Nordeste.
