Abstract

The objective of this work is to present the main results achieved in the actions developed by the Sinergia Solar project in its first cycle of existence. Lectures, workshops, training and interventions in Brazil were carried out in the period, with the intention of raising awareness, bringing together and facilitating access to knowledge about the use and benefits of solar energy as an energy and low cost alternative compared to conventional technologies. Students from public schools, universities and the community in general were reached by the actions developed. Totaling 26 activities carried out, it was possible to prove the impact that generates the debate related to solar energy and the interest in deepening the knowledge in this type of technology as an energy and democratic alternative for Brazil. It is estimated that over the life of the project, more than 3000 people were directly sensitized on the theme of solar energy.
