Brazil's distributed solar power generation reaches 20GW
Brazil's distributed solar power generation has exceeded 20 GW. As of the end of March this year, the country has exceeded the 19 GW mark.
According to data from the Brazilian National Electricity Regulatory Agency (Aneel), as of April 20, 2023, over 1.8 million distributed photovoltaic power generationsystems have been connected to the grid in 5526 cities across Brazil, providing power to 2.4 million consumer units. Of the country's 20.444 GW of distributed generation, 20.186 GW comes from solar power.
Sao Paulo (2.741 GW), Minas Gerais (2.653 GW), Rio Grande do Sul (2.131 GW), Parana (1.901 GW) and Santa Catalina (1.392 GW) have the largest installed capacity in Brazil.
Most of Brazil's distributed solar power generation systems are installed on consumer sites. Among them, over 15.6 GW are installed in 1.5 million systems, providing energy for consumer units in the installation location. The remote spontaneous self use system ranks second with a total capacity of 4.4 GW, distributed among 325000 solar devices. The installed capacity of the energy community is only 109 MW, distributed in 4431 systems.
The power generation capacity of residential roof system is 10.2 GW, accounting for a little more than half of the installed capacity of distributed generation, and distributed in 1476000 systems.
