Integrated analysis of photovoltaic system externalities in Brazil: public health expenditures, energy quality, architectural aspects and real estate value

Photovoltaic solar energy systems is a renewable source that has raised great worldwide interest in recent decades. However, Brazil still, the cost of photovoltaic (PV) still high, and current public policies are incipient. From 2014 to 2019, an average growth 203% per year was observed installed PV power Brazil. Such performance can also be justified by greater understanding externalities, i.e., external positive negative impacts inherent generation electric energy. The objective understand economic effects externalities from different perspectives. following were studied: air pollution; quality; construction element; thermal load real estate valuation, all them analyzed for Brazilian scenario. results indicated externality pollution, which on health, estimated society perspective, could worth, at least, 4.12% price generated systems. losses avoided voltage profile, quality parameters, may account 12.61% electricity utilities, consumer value around 79.44% this study indicate were, most part, generating Thus, considering it intended further their relationship with expansion distributed
