Solar power is booming in Brazil. Can it be a boom for all?
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:
Solar power in Brazil
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
