Brazil has a great potential for solar energy generation, but this is still a developing market. In 2012, the Brazilian Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) published a new resolution (482/2012) to aid the connection of renewable energy systems to the distribution grid.
Solar energy is heat and radiant light from the Sun that can be harnessed with technologies such as solar power (which is used to generate electricity) and solar thermal energy (which is used for applications such as water heating). The Brazil solar energy market is segmented by technology and geography.
However, Brazil's electricity regulator, Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (ANEEL), proposed to apply a fee for solar systems with up to 5 MW of power generation capacity. Further, installing other renewable energy sources such as wind, hydro, and others is expected to hinder the market's growth during the forecast period.

Brazil needs a competitive and fair industrial policy for the solar PV sector, reducing the prices of components and equipments made in the country and creating more jobs, technology and innovation.
With the goal of diversifying its energy mix, Brazil initiated the large-scale deployment of solar power in 2014. Three years after its commercial commencement, the solar energy drive is stalled and policy
