en.Wedoany.com Reported - Solfácil has established a new distribution center in Santa Catarina, Brazil, to expand its operations in the southern region, aiming to accelerate deliveries, reduce logistics costs, and strengthen its presence in the solar energy market. Through this distribution center and an inventory regionalization strategy, the company has reduced delivery times by over 60% in parts of Santa Catarina, and by approximately 50% in Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul. Lucas Rogério, Head of Supply Chain and Operations at Solfácil, stated that this expansion is intended to meet the growing demand for photovoltaic systems and pave the way for new business areas.
Lucas Rogério noted that the company's current top priority is to consolidate operations in the southern region and continue expanding its national footprint. In the energy storage market, batteries are seen as one of the most significant opportunities in the coming years. According to company data, battery sales in the first quarter of this year alone surpassed the total for the entire year of 2025. Based on this rapid growth in demand, the company expects the market to grow by approximately 530% this year.
From an operational perspective, the main benefits of the new distribution center include proximity to customers, inventory regionalization, and a significant reduction in delivery times. In addition to delivery time reductions of over 60% in parts of Santa Catarina, freight costs are expected to decrease by an average of 25%, which helps enhance competitiveness for integrators and appeal to end consumers. Furthermore, the company now offers a self-pickup option for equipment locally, providing greater flexibility for customers.
Regarding the current grid infrastructure challenges facing Brazil's solar industry, such as curtailment and reverse power flow, Lucas Rogério believes these challenges are accelerating a new phase of the energy transition. Consumers are no longer focused solely on self-consumption but are seeking greater control, predictability, and autonomy. In this context, energy storage systems (such as batteries) are becoming key competitive differentiators. The company has made energy storage a strategic priority and is investing resources, including training system integrators, expanding its product portfolio, and offering financing solutions to promote battery adoption.
Solfácil has also made progress in solar financing. The company has surpassed the milestone of 200,000 financed customers, and in 2025, it financed over 1 billion Brazilian reais in solar projects, setting a new annual historical record. Looking ahead, the company states it will continue to grow at a rate above the market, expand its market share, and maintain profitability. The company believes that increasing demand for smart energy management solutions and the development of hybrid battery systems will drive a new wave of growth in the industry.
