Summary
The Brazilian market offers a
promising outlook and
improved momentum for
distributed solar PV projects
in the near term. Federal and
state governments, as well
as the national regulatory
agency ANEEL have
repeatedly addressed the
main obstacles related to the
Brazilian net-metering
program, including taxation,
grid-connection procedures,
dissemination and financing.
Demand for distributed solar
PV is anticipated to remain
high, due to its
competitiveness compared to
local retail electricity tariffs.
On the ground dynamics and
respective opportunities for
distributed PV generation in
Brazil will be shared by
relevant stakeholders
representing both, the
private and public sector.
