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. [4] As of 2019, Brazil generated nearly
By December, Brazil''s total solar capacity reached 56 GW, representing 22.5 percent of its installed power mix. This share placed solar second only to hydropower in the
Solar now ranks as Brazil''s second-largest energy source after hydropower, and it''s still growing. By late 2025, Brazil''s solar output is expected to reach 46.75 billion kWh, keeping
In Brazil, solar photovoltaic dominates the distributed generation sector, representing 99% of the country''s total distributed generation capacity. Small hydroelectric and
