Start Energia e Inovação
Solar engineering · Brasília and surrounding region · since 2017

Installing is the easy part. The problem is who takes care of you the following year.

Most solar companies deliver the system and disappear. We stay — with support available in the first year, whenever you need it.

How much was your last power bill?

Quote and simulation before any contract, project signed by a licensed technical lead, and utility approval with Neoenergia handled by us. We’ve been in Taguatinga since 2017 — an address you can visit. We serve Brasília and the entire surrounding region. No system zeroes out your bill — the grid-availability and public-lighting charges remain. What changes is how much is left over.

Before we talk about panels

If your bill is above R$ 400, the problem isn’t your consumption.

In October 2025, Neoenergia’s residential rate rose 11.65% (ANEEL Ratifying Resolution No. 3,542/2025). And under Law 14,300, anyone who generates their own energy pays a growing share of the grid fee starting from the day they join, rising every year. In 2026 that share stands at 60%, and it rises again on January 1st. It’s written into law, it’s an annual step, and it doesn’t reverse:

  • 202545%past
  • 202660%now
  • 202890%
  • 2029100%

Percentage of the TUSD Fio B fee charged on offset energy — Law 14,300/2022, Art. 27. In 2029 it becomes full.

These are percentage points of the Fio B fee, which is one part of the rate — not percentage points of your savings. The effect on your bill is smaller than the number suggests, and that’s exactly what we calculate for your case.

Installing today doesn’t freeze anything — no serious company will promise you that. The grandfathered right under Art. 26 applied to those who filed for grid access by 01/07/2023.

What holds the decision back

The things nobody says out loud

And that we’d rather answer before you ask.

"They’ll push a bigger system on me than I need."

You see the math before you pay

We size the system from your actual consumption and send the simulation with a generation estimate, signed by the founder himself — a civil engineer and electrical technician — before any contract. If the numbers don’t work for you, there’s no proposal.

"I don’t understand any of this and I’ll just accept whatever they tell me."

The technical report comes in plain language

A jargon-free document explaining where every number came from. And we sit down with you to go through it together — even if you don’t end up closing with us.

"I need to convince someone at home."

The simulation was made to be forwarded

It comes as a PDF: today’s bill, the bill afterward, the investment and the timeline. No technical terms that need translating at the dinner table.

"What if it hails? What if something goes wrong with the roof?"

The structure is assessed beforehand

During the site visit, and the conditions are recorded in the technical report. Hail heavy enough to damage panels is rare in Brasília — it’s more common in southern Brazil. If you’d like to insure the system, we can point you in the right direction; the policy itself isn’t arranged directly by us.

"What if it generates less than promised?"

Installation Warranty — 12 months

Nobody can guarantee generation: weather, shade and the roof’s real-world orientation make generation swing month to month, both up and down, and no quoting platform predicts that with precision — be wary of anyone promising a fixed number. What we guarantee for 12 months is our workmanship — the installation. The equipment carries its own manufacturer warranty, usually longer and varying by brand and model; you get access to a monitoring app, and if it shows a fault in any equipment, we provide the support you need and file the warranty claim for you.

"What if I sell the property? What if the company disappears?"

The data stays with Neoenergia, not lost along with us

The project and the utility approval are recorded on Neoenergia’s platform, linked to the responsible installer. If you want to switch installers, there’s a formal process to transfer technical responsibility — the same one we use when we take over a system from another company. And we’ve been in Taguatinga since 2017, at an address you can visit.

Installation Warranty — 12 months

Real-world generation swings with weather, shade and roof orientation — no company can guarantee a fixed generation number, and you should be wary of anyone who promises that. What we guarantee for 12 months is our workmanship — the installation. The equipment carries its own manufacturer warranty, longer and varying by brand and model; you get access to a monitoring app, and if it shows a fault in any equipment, we provide the support you need and file the warranty claim for you.

And before any of that: if your bill doesn’t justify the investment, we say so in the report and stop there.

Proof

Proof you can check for yourself

An image with no real data doesn’t count as proof — that’s why every photo here comes with a caption showing capacity, savings and date, plus the written authorization of whoever appears in it.

How it works

Three steps, and you follow every one

Step 01

Bill and proposal

You send us your last bill amount and we send back the simulation with the proposal — before any site visit. We only schedule a visit once you’re interested in the proposal.

Step 02

Site visit, report and utility approval

During the visit we assess the roof, issue the signed generation report, and handle the Neoenergia approval from start to finish.

Step 03

Installation and the first year together

We install to Brazilian NBR code, with the technical documentation recorded on the platform. Support available whenever you need it, plus access to the monitoring app. This is where most companies disappear — and where we’re just getting started.

You can also rent the system, with no down payment.

A fixed or variable monthly fee, with no capital tied up — the equipment becomes yours under the terms of the contract. See how the rental option works.

Questions

What might be holding you back right now

Roughly how much does it cost?

The 280 kWh/month residential kit runs R$5,836 paid in full — a reference price, subject to change with equipment costs, with the current price confirmed in your simulation. Larger systems are priced in proportion to consumption — and you get the exact number for your case in the simulation, before any proposal. We publish a price because we believe anyone about to spend several thousand reais has a right to know the ballpark before handing over their phone number.

Starting at what bill amount does it make sense?

As a reference, bills above R$ 400 a month usually justify the investment — as does anyone planning to increase consumption, with an electric car, air conditioning or a home addition. Below that, we’d rather tell you it’s not worth it than let you find out later.

Is it still worth it with the Fio B fee rising?

The Fio B fee is charged on offset energy. In 2026 it stands at 60%, rises to 75% in 2027, and climbs every year until 2029, when it becomes full. That doesn’t eliminate the savings: it reduces part of them, and reduces more the longer you wait. That’s why sizing matters — a well-designed system prioritizes consumption at the moment of generation, which is the part the Fio B fee doesn’t reach.

How long until the investment pays for itself?

It depends on your consumption, your rate and how you pay. The number for your case comes in the simulation, in writing, before any proposal. We don’t work off a market average.

Can I get the system without investing anything?

Yes: through a rental instead of a purchase. It’s a separate offer, with its own page — see how it works.
