In this episode of Papo Solar, we will explore the recent Gecex Resolution No. 666, which increases the import tax on photovoltaic modules from 9.6% to 25%, and discuss the impact that this new rate will have on the Brazilian solar energy sector. With the participation of Wladimir Janousek, Executive Director at JCS Consultoria e Serviços and current Secretary of Industry and Commerce at INEL (National Institute of Clean Energy), we address the consequences of this measure for photovoltaic projects that depend on imported modules. Understand how the former tariff and the exemption quota of more than 1 billion dollars can influence the costs and viability of new projects in the country. Is the tax increase a threat to the growth of the sector? How can companies prepare for this new scenario? Check out our full analysis and understand the tax implications and strategies to deal with changes in the solar energy market.
