Grid connection queues in Brazil are offering new opportunities for energy storage and hybrid systems and opening new energy business models. Renewable energy companies are adding solar and batteries to their utility-scale wind power sites to use existing power transmission capacity.
Brazil isn't just embracing solar energy—it's revolutionizing its potential in the global energy sector. As we count down to the Solar World Congress 2025 in Fortaleza, let's dive into Brazil's solar energy history. Fifteen years ago, no one could have imagined that Brazil would become one of the world's largest powers in photovoltaic solar energy.
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.
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.
In Brazil, solar photovoltaic dominates the distributed generation sector, representing 99% of the country''s total distributed generation capacity. Small hydroelectric and wind account for
