According to the National Electric System Operator (ONS), The Photovoltaic solar generation in the National Interconnected System (SIN) achieved a historic record.

On February 9th reached the mark of 6,044 MW of instantaneous generation. This is the highest level reached in the history of the SIN. The volume generated represents 7.8% of the System's demand and was recorded at 10:28 am.

According to data released in PAR/PEL 2023/2027, in December 2022 the solar source represented around 3.6% (6.6 GW) of the total energy generated in the SIN. The projection for December 2026 is that it will reach 6.7% (13.9 GW).

The last record for instantaneous solar generation in the SIN was registered on September 27, 2022, when it reached 5,155 MW (7% of demand) and on average, with 1,945 average (2.8% of demand).

According to the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel), the centralized solar source occupies fourth place in the ranking of installed capacity (7.8 GW). However, if added to the 17.2 GW of distributed generation, the source rises to second place, behind only hydroelectric plants, occupying 11.6% of the matrix.
