Abstract
Sunlight is a great source of available energy on the planet. South America is a region near the line of the Equator, and Brazil is a country with a large amount of solar radiation. In this paper, only 4 of the 37 TPPs of the Brazilian coast that transport million tons of cargo per year are considered. The TPPs are distributed around the coast and have many roof warehouses and covered carport areas available or idle. The times of insolation and solar irradiance data were collected and correlated with these PPs to determine a solar energy generation using photovoltaic system modules available on the Brazilian market for each of these ports. Then we estimate the total potential energy lost in selected ports around 96.81 mW per day, due to the lack of SPVm in TPPs installed in the TAs. Thus, we suggest that Brazilian port authorities should develop programs to encourage an application for areas to generate solar energy.
