Brazil Solar Energy Market Growth Factors

The Brazil solar market is mainly driven by varied incentives and rebates provided by the government. Tax incentives and rebates provided by the Brazil government encourage installations in the residential and commercial sectors and drive the business and households in Brazil to invest in solar energy. This regulatory environment also encourages distributed generation, where consumers generate electricity mostly for their own consumption, exporting only excess electricity to the grid.

Technological progress, particularly in energy storage, has been a major contributor to the rapid increase of solar energy, as the decreasing cost of battery storage makes solar energy more affordable to a wider set of users, ranging from rooftops to utility-scale. Hybrid solar-plus-storage projects, often the result of private sector innovation and pilot programs, may become increasingly important for reducing diesel generation in off-grid areas.

Large-scale projects, such as the contracts signed by ArcelorMittal Brasil for 465MW of solar power in Bahia and in Minas Gerais, have strengthened the market. They also have shown that public-private partnerships can supply large quantities of renewable energy. The floating solar plants built in hydroelectric reservoirs are an example of how it is possible to optimize existing installations in order to meet renewable energy targets.
