Brazil produces 509.10 billion kWh per year of energy

With a 1700kwh / year solar irradiance per sqm @ 20% efficiency for modern photovoltaic panels...

...we only need a square of 40km by 40km of solar panels to produce 100% of the country’s energy need by solar

This is completely complementary to Brazil 🇧🇷 immense hydro power currently installed, that can be used as a gigantic potential battery storage system.

We can do this and be a reference worldwide.

Total cost? 💵 $ 90 billion - or 2 Itaipu.
