Since 2012, the solar sector has attracted more than BRL 2 billion in investments for the district, generating around 12 jobs and contributing to R$600 million for public coffers.
The Brazilian Atlas of Solar Energy provides a survey of the solar energy availability in Brazil, using over 17 years'' satellite data and a radiative transfer model.
Unlike centralized generators, where power plants produce electricity and send it long distances over power lines to customers, distributed generators produce near the point of

The total installed solar power in Brazil was estimated at 53.9 GW at February 2025, which consists of about 21.9% of the country's electricity matrix. In 2023, Brazil was the 6th country in the world in terms of installed solar power capacity (37.4 GW).
Brazil expects to have 1.2 million solar power generation systems in the year 2024. Solar energy has great potential in Brazil, with the country having one of the highest levels of insolation in the world at 4.25 to 6.5 sun hours/day. As of 2019, Brazil generated nearly 45% of its energy, or 83% of its electricity, from renewable sources.
Just three years ago, Brazil did not feature among the world’s top producers of solar energy, but by 2023 it had risen to sixth place in the rankings. The pace of growth has been notable: since 2022, the country has added, on average, roughly one gigawatt of solar capacity every month.
Solar is now Brazil’s second-largest source of electricity. Experts say its growth must also reach and respect communities cut off from the grid Student Brenda Rodrigues da Silva works on the installation of solar panels at Fábrica Social, a professional training centre in Brasília, Brazil.
