Brazil - The solar project in Florianópolis | Global 3000

Solar power has so far played a minor role in Brazil. But now, with German aid, the country’s largest photovoltaic power plant is being installed in the state of Santa Catarina, with a target capacity of 1 megawatt. Until now, only 2.5 MW of Brazil’s power portfolio has been covered by solar, less than the 0.01% of the solar power share in Germany. Yet in the Earth’s largest tropical country, the potential is unlimited. For more go to http://www.dw.de/program/global-3000/s-11487-9798
