Whitin the solar sector, distributed solar installations have increased particularly fast and accounted for approximately ** percent of the total installed capacity in 2025.  

Brazil’s solar deployment by region 

The geographic distribution of Brazil's solar capacity reveals significant regional variations. São Paulo leads the country in distributed solar capacity with *** gigawatts installed as of February 2025. Meanwhile, Minas Gerais dominates in centralized solar capacity with an impressive ** gigawatts, followed by Bahia with **** gigawatts. With a capacity of *** gigawatts, the Janauba Solar PV Project in Minas Gerais ranks as Brazil's largest solar installation.Ìý

Market growth and future outlook 

Projections indicate that Brazil could reach between **** and **** gigawatts of distributed solar capacity by 2029. Centralized solar installations are expected to grow as well, potentially reaching between **** and **** gigawatts by the same year, depending on investment conditions and policy support. The sustained growth highlights Brazil's position as a leader in solar energy adoption worldwide.
