The Smarter E South America, held at Expo Center Norte in São Paulo from August 26 to 28, 2025, stands as a testament to the rapid growth of renewable energy in Brazil. This event, which marks the 10th anniversary of Intersolar South America, attracted more than 530 exhibitors and over 50,000 visitors, underscoring the market's strength and growth. The expo is part of LATAM's Innovation Hub for the New Energy World and reflects the impressive figures in Brazil's renewable energy sector.
Brazil has seen significant progress in solar energy over the past decade. According to the publication Market Overview, photovoltaic (PV) solar energy has risen to become the second-largest electricity generation technology in Brazil, accounting for 15% of the country's electricity mix with an installed capacity of 33.5 GW. This technology has not only contributed to a substantial increase in renewable energy but has also created over one million new jobs and attracted more than R$163 billion in investments between 2012 and 2023.
The event itself was a highlight of this innovation, with special awards dedicated to pioneers and supporters of the renewable energy sector. Over three days, more than 2,500 attendees participated in conferences held at Expo Center Norte. This robust attendance indicates a high level of interest and engagement from both industry professionals and enthusiasts.
The Smarter E South America also serves as a platform for showcasing innovations and advancements in charging systems. These systems are crucial for supporting the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and other renewable technologies. The expo provides a comprehensive view of the latest trends and developments in this rapidly evolving field.
As Brazil continues its journey towards becoming a major player in renewable energy markets, events like The Smarter E South America play a vital role in fostering collaboration and innovation among industry stakeholders.
