Livoltek invests R$ 70 million in first Brazilian factory for solar inverters in Manaus
Type: Investment · Technology: Solar · Country: Brazil · Announced: 2026-05-07
Chinese inverter manufacturer Livoltek invested R$ 70 million to establish its first Brazilian factory in Manaus, Amazonas, with an initial production capacity of 300,000 units per year. The facility marks a strategic shift toward local manufacturing to reduce currency exposure and logistics costs for Brazil's expanding solar market. Livoltek began producing its first locally manufactured inverters in 2025, aligning with Brazil's push for greater nationalization of solar supply chains. The investment follows broader industry trends where international manufacturers like WEG, Soprano Solar, and Renovigi have also expanded local operations through assembly or partial manufacturing. Analysts anticipate this move will intensify competition among domestic inverter producers while potentially lowering equipment costs for Brazilian solar developers.
