Technical FAQs 4

How has distributed solar generation capacity changed in Brazil?

Distributed solar generation capacity grew from less than 1 gigawatt (GW) in 2018 to 40 GW in 2025 through June, accounting for 43% of all electricity capacity additions over that period. In 2012, Brazil implemented net metering policies, which have recently contributed to large increases in distributed solar generation capacity.

How big is solar energy in Brazil?

Utility scale solar energy in Brazil reached 16.4 GW, while distributed generation from solar accounted for 34 GW in 2024. Investments in utility-scale solar energy projects that have already been approved amount to more than $20 billion. An additional $1 billion has been invested in solar distributed generation since 2012.

How many solar power systems are there in Brazil?

As of June 30, 2025, total solar electric generating capacity in Brazil was 23% of the total electric generating capacity. Home and building owners installed more than 3.7 million renewable distributed generation systems in Brazil as of June 30, 2025.

What is the largest source of electricity in Brazil in 2024?

In 2024, solar power, when including distributed generation, became the second largest source of electricity in Brazil, surpassing wind power, and reaching almost 50 GW. Utility scale solar energy in Brazil reached 16.4 GW, while distributed generation from solar accounted for 34 GW in 2024.
