“Geração Distribuída” and Solar Panels: Is There a Difference?

Compartilhe:

When we talk about solar energy, most people immediately think of panels installed on rooftops. But did you know this type of energy is part of a broader concept called “Geração Distribuída”?

Let’s break it down simply and clearly — and explain why it matters for your business.

What is “Geração Distribuída”?

Your business purchases energy credits generated by a shared solar power plant. There’s no need for upfront investment or installing panels at your company. You still consume 100% renewable energy and save on your electricity bill.

And what about solar panels?

When you install solar panels on your rooftop, the energy produced directly powers your consumption — and any surplus becomes credit that offsets your electricity bill. But your business must cover high initial costs, deal with long payback periods, and take care of installation, maintenance, and construction on the roof or land.

What changed with Law 14.300/2022?

This law established clear regulations for those who generate their own energy. If your system was installed before 2023, you’re exempt from certain grid fees on injected energy until 2045.

For those installing systems now, there are new rules — but it’s still worth it. The benefits remain strong, and reducing your electricity bill is still a major advantage. It’s a fair model designed to grow.

Why is this solution great for your business?

Your energy bill can drop by up to 10%, without surprises or red tariff flags. Credits are automatically applied to your invoice, giving you more control over your business costs. Plus, you get to use solar energy without installing anything. You save more and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
