Rooftop PV accounts for around 70% of the installed PV capacity in Brazil, and as the information about the widening price difference between solar electricity and retail electricity tariffs spreads, more and more residential consumers embark on the rooftop PV option.
In 2020, the country’s installed solar PV capacity stood at 8.5 gigawatts. By the end of 2024, this had grown to roughly 53 gigawatts. The Brazilian solar sector is experiencing a rapid expansion, with planned utility-scale installations amounting to more than 139 gigawatts as of February 2025.
Favorable net metering legislation, rising conventional electricity tariffs, and consistent and strong downward trends in photovoltaic equipment prices in recent years have led PV to become the second largest contributor to Brazil’s electricity generation mix.
Image: TAIS HELENA DE CARVALHO, Unsplash In 2023, PV uptake in Brazil grew at a rate of more than 1 GW per month (70% of that rooftop PV), and the cumulative installed PV capacity reached over 37 GW. The deployment rate is 60 W per person per year and is fast enough to double the installed capacity every two years.
By the end of 2024, this had grown to roughly 53 gigawatts. The Brazilian solar sector is experiencing a rapid expansion, with planned utility-scale installations amounting to more than 139 gigawatts as of February 2025. Of these, more than 120 gigawatts were in the construction and pre-construction stages.
