Statistics from Aneel, the power sector regulator, show that the installed capacity of solar distributed power generation in Brazil has exceeded 4.7 GW. According to Aneel's real-time updated data, as of Wednesday night, the total distributed power generation capacity in the country exceeded 4.9 GW, of which solar energy is the most popular source, with 401,199 grid-connected systems. Minas Gerais is the state with the largest distributed generation capacity-912.21 MW, followed by Sao Paulo State with 602 MW, and Rio Grande do Sul State with 597.87 MW. Residential users account for the majority of distributed power generation in the country, with 295,816 systems installed. Commercial and rural installations were 66,096 and 28,394 systems respectively. According to data from the Brazilian Distributed Generation Association, the distributed generation market will grow by more than 50% this year, and its installed capacity will exceed 7GW by the end of 2021.

As of the end of 2020, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia have installed 98% of operating photovoltaic capacity in Southeast Asia. However, Vietnam is the only country that will continue to install photovoltaic systems steadily in 2020. As the FIT deadline is imminent, about 76% of installations in Vietnam come from the roof, and the remaining 24% are ground installation projects under the feed-in tariff (FIT) system. Thailand and the Philippines are currently driven by rooftop installations of up to 5 megawatts. In Malaysia, large-scale solar (LSS) projects have contributed to recent growth beyond rooftop systems. As emerging markets, Cambodia and Indonesia also have some large-scale project developments. Vietnam passed a 9.2GW roof installation in 2020. However, unless the government approves new support, it will slow down by 2021. According to the proposed draft of the National Power Development Plan (PDP), 9.1 GW of ground-based photovoltaic projects are in the planning and pre-planning stage, of which 6.3 GW will be completed by 2025 and 2.8 GW will be completed by 2030. These projects are planned to be included in the direct power purchase agreement, and the capacity in the photovoltaic auction plan is between 400 MW and 1 GW. Thailand's photovoltaics will be hit by Covid-19 in 2020. According to government data, there will be no new ground photovoltaic installations in 2020. Malaysia continues to be driven by utility-scale projects under the LSS program. Except for 2020, since 2017, the government has awarded photovoltaic tenders every year. As of 2021, the upper limit of the project scale will be increased to 100 MW. The rooftop market in the Philippines is booming. Photovoltaic systems directly consumed by shopping malls, schools, cold storages, and factories are all increasing because permits are easy to obtain. The Philippines is an obvious example of a market driven by photovoltaic competitiveness and does not require clear policy support. The ongoing political crisis in Myanmar has brought great uncertainty to the 1 GW photovoltaic project awarded in 2020. Most of them were won by Chinese developers such as China Mechanical Engineering Corporation (CMEC) at an average electricity price of US$0.0422/kWh. The original deadline for completion was March 9, 2021. However, under the current situation, the developers are reconsidering the project. , May exit. Laos relies on hydropower and coal, and exports large amounts of electricity at certain times of the year. However, the summer hydropower declined and the government eventually imported. In order to diversify the power structure, Laos has begun to allocate photovoltaic projects. The Cambodian government has installed 260 megawatts of photovoltaic capacity, mainly on the ground outside of any auction plans. Since 2019, the government has been working with the Asian Development Bank to develop a 100 MW auction plan. In 2019, the government awarded Prime Road Alternative Comp...
