Brazil is having a second big event this week after a presidential election. Tomorrow Brazil hosts its first solar only auction and is expected to add more than 500mw of capacity. It will be intriguing to see at what price the solar energy is successful at achieving. At the end of the day it means another major market that becomes a little bit more familiar with solar in this case a country with over 200 million residents. Best of luck to the bidders and congrats to Brazil on an exciting day.
