Is rooftop PV a viable option in Brazil?
Rooftop PV accounts for around 70% of the installed PV capacity in Brazil, and as the information about the widening price difference between solar electricity and retail electricity tariffs spreads, more and more residential consumers embark on the rooftop PV option.
How much does solar power cost in Brazil?
For example, in October Eletrosul, a subsidiary of state-owned Eletrobras covering the southern states of Brazil, auctioned as a seller 10-year PPAs for 800MWh/year of solar power, with a minimum price of USD 114/MWh.6,7,8 At the sub-national level, for example, the State of Pernambuco conducted
Will rooftop solar PV lead to a low-cost per km alternative?
Soon, as Li-ion batteries and electric vehicle prices decline, the shift away from fossil-fueled vehicles will bring new electricity demands, and rooftop solar PV will lead to the least-cost per km alternative. Author: Prof. Ricardo Rüther (UFSC). [email protected]
What is the PV uptake rate in Brazil in ?
Image: TAIS HELENA DE CARVALHO, Unsplash In , PV uptake in Brazil grew at a rate of more than 1 GW per month (70% of that rooftop PV), and the cumulative installed PV capacity reached over 37 GW. The deployment rate is 60 W per person per year and is fast enough to double the installed capacity every two years.
Why is PV the second largest contributor to Brazil's electricity mix?
Favorable net metering legislation, rising conventional electricity tariffs, and consistent and strong downward trends in photovoltaic equipment prices in recent years have led PV to become the second largest contributor to Brazil’s electricity generation mix.
How many consumer units have a rooftop PV system?
There are 93 million consumer units (potential rooftops) in the country, and so far, fewer than 2.5% of them have a rooftop PV system installed. Through favorable legislation that allows remote self-consumption, there are 3.6 million consumer units enjoying the energy credits produced by these 2.3 million net-metered rooftop PV installations.
Additionally, as prices for lithium-ion batteries and electric vehicles continue to decline, the shift away from fossil-fueled vehicles will drive further electricity demand. Rooftop solar PV emerges as the most economical alternative, offering the lowest cost per kilometer traveled.

Over the years, PV prices have plummeted from over $100/MWh in to a mere $32/MWh in , reaching an all-time low of just over $20/MWh in . This drastic decrease in prices has made solar PV an attractive and accessible energy solution for both consumers and businesses alike. Brazil's
