In South America, regulation on the connection of small-scale photovoltaic systems is recent, given that this type of generation has been integrated into the energy matrix for a few years.
As a result, the preliminary energy balance for 2019 showed favorable results, showing that the share of fossil fuels is only 2%, being the smallest percentage in the region and the share of PV solar energy reaches 3%, being the second-largest participation in South America after Chile .
The growth of PV installed capacity in Brazil stems from the successful energy auctions for renewable sources. The connection of centralized systems to the network has been observed in South America primarily since 2015. There is an emphasis on Chile and Brazil regarding large systems.
The largest photovoltaic solar plants in South America are located in Brazil and Chile. The largest solar plant in the region corresponds to the São Gonçalo solar park located in the state of Piauí in Brazil, it has a generating capacity of 437.04 MW and it was inaugurated in November, 2019.
5. Discussion South America has privileged solar irradiation, with emphasis on the northeast region of Brazil and especially the Atacama Desert region, in northern Chile. Regarding the energy matrices of each country, listed in Table 4, a large percentage of renewable energies is observed in the analyzed countries.
In Latin America, Chile leads the photovoltaic plant scenario with BESS. According to Ref. , in 2019 there were three plants in operation with a total installed capacity of 52 MW and a storage capacity of 13 MWh in Anfogasta. Also, Chile presented a pilot project in Arica with a storage capacity of 2 MWh in a container.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
