4 FAQs about Brazil s centralized solar energy storage

Is Brazil embracing solar energy?

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.

How big is solar generating capacity in Brazil?

Compared with distributed solar, utility-scale solar generating capacity at the end of June was only 17.9 GW, according to the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL). As of June 30, 2025, total solar electric generating capacity in Brazil was 23% of the total electric generating capacity.

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 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.
