Brazil Solar Power Market

Brazil Solar Power Market Size and Share: 

The Brazil solar power market size reached 52.0 GW in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 162.7 GW by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5% during 2025-2033. The market is expanding due to the growing energy demand, abundant solar resources, government incentives, falling solar technology costs, increasing corporate sustainability commitments, decentralized energy policies, financing availability, net metering regulations, rising electricity prices, grid stability concerns, and international climate commitments.

Brazil Solar Power Market Trends:

Growing Investments in Large-Scale Solar Projects

Brazil solar power market growth is driven by an increase in large-scale solar energy investments, driven by government incentives, declining technology costs, and rising energy demand. For instance, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) stated on January 27, 2025, that it will lend BV Bank up to USD 150 Million over five years, with the sole purpose of funding small-scale residential solar installations in Brazil. By improving individual consumers' access to solar energy, this project seeks to diversify the country's energy mix. Along with financial support, IFC will offer BV knowledge and capacity building to help the bank expand its renewable energy business. The country has surpassed 37 GW of installed solar capacity, making it one of the leading solar markets in Latin America. Utility-scale projects are expanding, with new developments in states like Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Piauí, where high solar irradiation levels ensure maximum efficiency. Investors, both domestic and international, are capitalizing on Brazil’s supportive regulatory environment, including net metering policies and tax incentives. Additionally, power purchase agreements (PPAs) are facilitating stable revenue streams for large-scale solar farms. With increasing environmental awareness and sustainability commitments, Brazil is expected to further accelerate its transition to renewable energy. By 2030, solar power is projected to play a crucial role in the country’s energy matrix, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and enhancing energy security. 

Rising Adoption of Distributed Solar Generation

Brazil is experiencing rapid growth in distributed solar generation, driven by falling photovoltaic (PV) system costs and favorable government policies. Residential, commercial, and industrial consumers are increasingly adopting rooftop solar installations to reduce electricity expenses and achieve energy independence. The expansion is supported by net metering regulations, which allow consumers to feed excess electricity into the grid and receive credits on future bills. Furthermore, financing options such as solar leasing and green loans are making solar energy more accessible to small businesses and homeowners, thus augmenting Brazil solar power market share. For instance, Brazil successfully launched its first USD 2 Billion sovereign sustainable bond on November 13, 2023, with the goal of funding projects that advance a more sustainable, inclusive, and just economy. The National Climate Change Fund, biodiversity protection, deforestation control, and social programs like Bolsa Família and the Food Acquisition Program receive roughly equal shares of the proceeds, which are divided between environmental and social projects. This announcement is in line with Brazil's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) goals, which include reaching carbon neutrality by 2050 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 53% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. The decentralized solar market is expected to continue growing, supported by technological advancements in battery storage and smart grid integration, which in turn is positively impacting the Brazil solar power market outlook. With Brazil’s abundant sunlight and increasing energy costs, distributed solar power is set to become a key component of the nation’s renewable energy transition.

Brazil Solar Power Market News:

• On February 18, 2025, Helexia Brasil announced that four solar plants will be installed in the state of Amazonas with the goal of promoting local development and advancing the energy transition. As part of a larger project, Helexia has been granted by the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) to build 17 solar plants, which will add up to a total installed approximately USD 17.5 Million capacity of 19MW in distributed generation. Helexia's dedication to sustainable energy solutions and regional development is demonstrated by this calculated investment.
• On February 10, 2025, GreenYellow, a French decentralized solar energy expert, obtained BRL 85 Million in bond funding on to promote decentralized solar power projects throughout Brazil. Coordinated by Itaú BBI, an investment bank, the 16-year bonds take use of Brazil's March 2024 Law 14801, which makes it easier to finance decentralized renewable energy companies. Five plants in Milagres (Bahia), Novo Ubiratã (Mato Grosso), and Birigui, Bilac, and Cajuru (São Paulo) will be supported by the money.
