Solar power to the people: how the sun is bringing light – and TV – to Amazon villages

87% Informative

Nearly all Brazil ’s isolated systems areas not connected to the national grid are in the Amazon .

About 3 million people living there rely on thermoelectric plants and just under a million have only sporadic access to electricity, mainly using diesel generators.

Small solar systems are cheaper, have a smaller environmental impact and require less maintenance than other sources of energy.

An initiative in the Peruvian Amazon is using the connectivity enabled by solar energy to strengthen the protection of lands.

Solar energy makes it possible to charge electronic devices such as mobile phones, drones and satellite dishes which improve communication between community members and land monitoring.

A similar project has also been successful in the Ecuadorian Amazon, where 70% of communities are beyond the national grid’s reach.
