O ano em que o sol se tornou global: como o Acordo de Paris levou a energia solar ao mundo

Ten years after the Paris Agreement, solar energy has transitioned from a marginal source to the fastest-growing electricity source globally, with leadership shifting from advanced economies to emerging markets. Brazil, China, and India have been central to this shift, collectively accounting for 60% of new solar capacity since 2015. The report highlights how national commitments (NDCs), international financing, and industrial policies—such as Brazil's renewable energy auctions and China's manufacturing scale—have drastically reduced costs and increased global deployment. By 2025, the world reached 2.2 TW of solar capacity, with the focus now shifting toward energy storage and grid reliability to ensure 24/7 availability.

• Solar energy has seen unprecedented global growth, increasing its share of global electricity generation from 1% in 2015 to 6.9% in 2024, and further to 8.8% in the first half of 2025.
• The leadership in solar generation has shifted from wealthy nations to emerging economies; in 2015, advanced economies held three-quarters of solar generation, but today they hold less than half.
• Brazil, China, and India have been primary drivers of global expansion, together representing 60% of all new solar capacity (approximately 1 TW) added since 2015.
• Brazil's solar capacity grew by an average of 70% annually since the Paris Summit, with solar generation reaching 13% of the country's total generation by August 2025.
• India's solar capacity increased nearly twenty-fold between 2015 and 2024, and the country has set a target of 500 GW of clean energy capacity by 2030.
• China's solar generation expanded 21 times between 2015 and 2024, and the country now controls 80-90% of global photovoltaic panel production.
• The Paris Agreement facilitated solar growth through National Determined Contributions (NDCs), with 87% of NDCs across 194 countries including renewable energy targets.
• The International Solar Alliance (ISA), launched at COP21 by India and France, aims to mobilize US$ 1 trillion in solar financing by 2030.
