• Abstract:

  The objective of this study was to verify how photovoltaic solar energy in Brazil has been approached in the scientific literature. Therefore, searches were carried out in the ScienceDirect database, using the words “Brazilian and photovoltaic and energy” and limited by the type “review” and “research”. A total of 160 articles were found, four were discarded, leaving 156 articles. Among the 156 articles, within the adopted classification, research was carried out on technologies and equipment; hybrid or complementary generation systems; power generation using buildings; laws, rules, regulations, tariffs; Marketplace; residential use of photovoltaic energy; comparison between energy sources; environmental impacts; education and training; and studies for a better location for the implementation of photovoltaic plants. What emerged from the research was the wide variety of topics, but especially the proposals for the use of photovoltaic solar energy sources, such as, for example, in hydroelectric power plant reservoirs and weirs; in the structure of commercial, residential, public buildings; on the roof of homes; hybrid systems associated with other sources, such as wind power; and in technology parks.
