South America’s energy portfolio has seen a significant leap on the number of renewable projects, with a large amount of capacity added across all countries in the region. The two main sectors of clean energy development have been Onshore Wind and Solar PV: since the start of 2021, 19 GW of Onshore. .
Different levels of implementation in solar photovoltaic (PV) facilities have been reached in each country, with the region being a worldwide research and development (R&D) hotspot. Also, high potential exists for concentrated solar power (CSP) facilities considering the technology evolution, and. .
Mature markets Brazil and Chile will account for 78% of total installations, with small-scale projects (<5 MW) accounting for 48% of total builds in the region, according to Wood Mackenzie.

This regional report evaluates the 10-year outlook for solar PV power development in South America. It consolidates key drivers and barriers impacting new solar PV capacity additions until 2034, providing a comprehensive analysis of power sector dynamics, energy policies, renewable targets, and the. .
Chile’s history with photovoltaic solar generation started back in 2013, when the first 8 MW were installed. Thanks to government support, this number rose quickly, surpassing 1 GW (1000 MW) in 2016 and reaching an impressive 9.3 GW in 2023! Another 4 GW are expected to be deployed in 2024..
South America's solar surge: 160 GWdc by 2034, emerging markets shine as mature ones slow, positioning the region as a global solar powerhouse. South America is expected to install 160 GWdc of solar photovoltaic capacity from 2025 to 2034, driven by growth in emerging markets. This expansion is.
