Distributed solar power generation in Brazil has reached 20.186 GW, of which residential rooftop photovoltaic installations exceed 10.204 GW.
Distributed solar power generation in Brazil has exceeded 20 GW. By the end of March this year, the country had crossed the 19 GW mark.
According to data from the Brazilian National Electricity Regulatory Agency (Aneel), as of April 20, 2023, more than 1.8 million distributed photovoltaic power generation systems have been connected to the grid in 5,526 cities across Brazil, serving 2.4 million consumer units. powered by. Of the 20.444 GW of total distributed generation in the country, 20.186 GW comes from solar power.
Installed capacity in the states of São Paulo (2.741 GW), Minas Gerais (2.653 GW), Rio Grande do Sul (2.131 GW), Parana (1.901 GW) and Santa Catarina (1.392 GW) Ranked first among the states in Brazil.
Most of Brazil's distributed solar power generation systems are installed on the consumer site. Of this, more than 15.6 GW were installed in 1.5 million systems, supplying energy to consumer units in the locations where they were installed. Remote self-consumption systems came in second, with a total capacity of 4.4 GW spread across 325,000 solar installations. The energy community has an installed capacity of just 109 MW, spread across 4,431 systems.
At 10.2 GW, residential rooftop systems accounted for just over half of the installed distributed generation capacity and were spread across 1.476 million systems.
