Claro Brazil has made history as the first telecommunications operator in Latin America to invest directly in sustainable energy generation through large-scale photovoltaic (PV) projects.
Sustainable Energy Strategy
In a move aligned with global decarbonization goals, Claro Brazil is deploying on-grid inverters and high-efficiency PV modules across its network sites. This initiative not only reduces reliance on fossil fuels but also enhances energy resilience.
Technical Specifications
- PV Modules: Monocrystalline PERC technology with efficiency ratings up to 22%.
- Inverters: Central and string inverters compliant with IEC 61727 standards for grid synchronization.
- BESS Integration: Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are being piloted to enable peak-shaving and frequency regulation services.
Economic Impact
The project is expected to achieve a payback period of less than 6 years, driven by favorable electricity tariffs and government incentives. By generating its own power, Claro Brazil aims to reach grid-zero status for select operations within the next decade.
Regulatory Compliance
All installations adhere to strict safety and performance standards, including those outlined by ANEEL (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica) in Brazil. The company ensures full compliance with local grid codes and environmental regulations.
