Brazil Is Among The Largest Countries When It Comes To Installed Solar Energy Capacity. This Is What A Report Published By The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Says.
Today, according to the research, Brazil ranks sixth in the global ranking of photovoltaic solar energy. This current placement means that the country has moved up in relation to the previous report.
According to the survey, Brazil, which until 2019 held the 12th position, now has a capacity of 37.4 GW, which puts it ahead of countries like Australia, Spain, Italy, and South Korea.
These data refer to the total accumulated in 2023 and do not include, for example, the additional three gigawatts (GW), but show that China comfortably leads the ranking. This is because the Asian country has an installed solar energy capacity of 609.3 GW.

With 5.6 trillion tons of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth, 26 times the known oil and more energy than all the natural gas in the world, the new gold rush is already mobilizing Bill Gates, Amazon, and Petrobras.

U.S. researchers publish the first national map of natural hydrogen, placing 30 states on the radar and changing what was known about clean energy in the American underground.
This figure means that China alone surpasses all the other top 10 members combined. In this list, data from individuals who installed photovoltaic panels in their homes, businesses, and other locations (known as distributed generation) were compiled, as well as from large solar energy farms, termed centralized generation.
Among the countries in the top 10, besides China and Brazil, are, for example, Japan and the United States. These countries, which are among the largest producers of renewable energy, are signing agreements aimed at reducing CO2 emissions and, consequently, slowing global warming.
