Abstract
This paper presents a study about the effectiveness of public policies in the photovoltaic solar energy sector and about the extra-taxation as a mechanism to encourage sustainability. The general objective of the research is based on tax exemptions and public policies to promote sustainability, aiming at the actions of municipal entities and the integration of solar photovoltaic generating systems into the existing architecture of cities and the encouragement of new buildings with sustainable design. The present work used the dialectical method, with bibliographic research, characterizing a qualitative and descriptive research. It was observed that sectoral industry is adapting to the cities reality and public policies are giving good results, promoting innovation and sustainability in energy production. It was concluded that the actions of public policies and extrafiscality by the federal entities are helping to increase the use of photovoltaic solar energy in Brazil.
Highlights
Energy has become one of the fundamental pillars of contemporary society, permeating all its sectors and becoming necessary to develop human activities
The quality of life of the world population can improve with sustainable economic growth through the planned and efficient use of available energy resources and the development of new energy generation technologies
The country suffers many economic and environmental losses in periods of drought and have to activate thermoelectric plants, powered by oil, gas, coal and other materials, which have high costs and a higher degree of pollution. This combination causes electricity bills to increase in value, as well as it leads the government to adopt extra charges called yellow and red flags on electricity bills, bringing more economic losses to consumers. This Brazilian scenario ended up exposing the fragility of the national electrical system, as the energy matrix is not diversified, making the country at the mercy of nature
Summary
Energy has become one of the fundamental pillars of contemporary society, permeating all its sectors and becoming necessary to develop human activities. The country suffers many economic and environmental losses in periods of drought and have to activate thermoelectric plants, powered by oil, gas, coal and other materials, which have high costs and a higher degree of pollution This combination causes electricity bills to increase in value, as well as it leads the government to adopt extra charges called yellow and red flags on electricity bills, bringing more economic losses to consumers. This Brazilian scenario ended up exposing the fragility of the national electrical system, as the energy matrix is not diversified, making the country at the mercy of nature Renewable energies such as solar photovoltaics give the possibility that each property can generate its own energy, in order to relieve the interconnected system, investing more in distributed micro-generation and minigeneration from photovoltaic source as a solution to obtain energy security in times of droughts, which are the periods of greatest solar irradiation, or in times when nature instability may harm the country's energy production. The research has the purpose to result from intellectual reasons, when based on the desire to know for the simple satisfaction to act (GIL, 2010)
