Solar panels in Rio de Janeiro

Is solar worth it in Rio de Janeiro?

These figures use Rio de Janeiro’s latitude and typical sunshine for the generation, then Brazil’s electricity price, export rules and incentives for the money. The sun a roof sees in Rio de Janeiro is the single biggest driver of the result, which is why we model the city directly rather than a national average.

See the full Brazil picture on our Brazil solar page, or the incentives in our Brazil solar guide.

Estimate only, not a quote. Figures use local climate data and average tariffs; your installer’s quote will be exact.
