By the beginning of 2021, according to abgd data of Brazil distributed generation Association, Brazil's distributed solar power generation capacity has reached 5 gigawatts, and Brazil's solar industry has developed rapidly to enter the world's top three distributed solar power generation market.
Brazil's renewable energy market continues to grow, the association said. As of July last year, distributed solar power generation in Brazil had reached 3 gigawatts. By November, it had reached 4 gigawatts. By the end of December, it had reached 5 gigawatts. The rapid growth of distributed solar capacity proves the development potential of the industry.
In particular, in 2020, Brazil will add 7.5 gigawatts of solar capacity, of which distributed capacity will account for 4.4 gigawatts.
The president of the association explained that the industry has developed rapidly in Brazil based on the climate resources in the north and south of the country and the versatility and adaptability of solar energy itself. In addition, solar panels can be modularized in different locations, such as land, roofs, sheds, and even vertical walls, and have various sizes and configurations. This technology has brought jobs, sustainability, energy cost savings, and development across Brazil.
In the second half of 2021, even under the epidemic situation, distributed generation can still create more than 150000 jobs and bring 15 billion reais of direct investment to Brazil.
