The LATAM utility solar market is rapidly expanding with a CAGR of around 16%, driven by abundant solar resources, declining technology costs, and supportive government auction programs across multiple countries. Key drivers include rising electricity demand, growing corporate renewable energy commitments, and strong policy frameworks encouraging clean energy adoption. Restraints involve grid infrastructure limitations, regulatory complexities, and bureaucratic delays that slow project execution. Opportunities abound in hybrid solar-wind projects, solar-plus-storage integration, and expanding off-grid electrification. Trends highlight increasing private sector investment, digitalization of solar asset management, and regional cooperation to boost cross-border renewable energy trade, underpinning long-term growth.
