In 2012, Brazil implemented net metering policies, which have recently contributed to large increases in distributed solar generation capacity. Compared with distributed solar, utility-scale solar generating capacity at the end of June was only 17.9 GW, according to the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL).
As of June 30, 2025, total solar electric generating capacity in Brazil was 23% of the total electric generating capacity. Home and building owners installed more than 3.7 million renewable distributed generation systems in Brazil as of June 30, 2025.
In Brazil, solar photovoltaic dominates the distributed generation sector, representing 99% of the country’s total distributed generation capacity. Small hydroelectric and wind account for the remaining 1% of distributed generation. The net metering policies in Brazil have evolved several times since 2012.
