Brazil Surpasses 38 GW Solar Capacity Milestone
Brazil has exceeded 38 GW of installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity, with solar power now accounting for 16.8% of the country's total power mix. The market has installed 26.3 GW across distributed generation (DG) systems, making solar the top choice for self-consumption systems in Brazil. Large-scale solar power plants are responsible for the remaining 11.7 GW of installed capacity.Since 2012, the rollout of solar energy in Brazil has attracted investments of BRL 184.3 billion (USD 37.1bn/EUR 34.5bn), creating around 1.1 million local jobs and offsetting 46.4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions during electricity generation. This milestone marks a significant achievement for Brazil's solar energy sector. How has Brazil's solar industry achieved 38 GW of installed capacity? Brazil's solar industry has benefited from supportive government policies and incentives, such as tax breaks, net metering, and auctions for large-scale solar projects. The decreasing cost of solar technology and equipment has made solar energy more affordable and attractive for consumers and investors in Brazil. The country's abundant sunlight and vast land availability have made it an ideal location for solar power generation, especially in regions with high solar irradiation levels. The growing awareness of climate change and the need to transition to clean and renewable energy sources has also driven the expansion of the solar industry in Brazil. Collaboration between government, industry stakeholders, and international partners has helped to promote the development and growth of the solar energy sector in Brazil.

Brazil Reaches 34 GW of Solar Capacity
Brazil has experienced rapid solar growth since 2018, when the country only had 1.3 GW of installed solar capacity. This is due to the April 2018 auction where solar developers secured contracts for the delivery of 9.3 GW of PV energy at a record-low price of $24.70/MWh. Currently, Aneel is preparing the first renewable energy auction with only solar projects. What Enabled Brazil's Solar Growth? Abolishment of the solar tax: In August 2018, Brazil abolished the tax on solar energy production, making the sector more attractive to investors. Increasing interest from the private sector: Private energy companies have increasingly shown interest in solar projects, due to the low cost of solar energy and its competitive advantage. Financial incentives: The government has provided various financial incentives for solar energy production, such as feed-in tariffs and public auctions. Availability of financing: The government has implemented several financing programs to facilitate the development of solar projects. High investment capacity: Brazil has the potential to attract a large amount of capital for renewable energy projects, due to the country’s large economy and its access to international financing. Technological advances: The development of new technologies, such as solar tracking systems, has enabled the cost of solar energy production to decline. Supportive policy framework: The Brazilian government has adopted a supportive policy framework for the development of solar energy projects.
