“It's a very interesting idea, since it eliminates a limit imposed by the regulations that created a limbo for projects between 1MW and 5MW”, said Rodrigo Sauaia, president of the Brazilian Solar Power Association (Absolar).
While micro-generation takes into account only projects up to 1MW, large scale solar is considered only if it is 5MW or more.
Sauaia and market agents said that this could allow large commercial establishments such as shopping malls, factories, warehouses and residential condominiums to take advantage of the 2012 net metering legislation and 80%, 10-year wire fee discounts.
