O uso da energia solar fotovoltaica e o pagamento por serviços ambientais

Abstract

This research analyzes the production and use of photovoltaic solar energy and the transition period regarding the time of payment of tariff components levied on the amount of surplus energy transferred to the local distributor provided for in Law 14.300/2022, under the prism of Law 14.119/ 2021, and thus identify it as a payment for environmental services (PES) policy. In view of this, we seek to conceptualize sustainability and its dimensions and explain the PES modalities, demonstrating its importance as a necessary public policy for the construction of a sustainable society. From this, it will be demonstrated that the installation of photovoltaic panels for transforming sunlight into electricity is a sustainable practice beneficial to the environment, and for this reason it should be considered as an environmental service capable of providing some type of payment to its user.
