This article is dedicated to a comparative analysis of the current state and prospects for future development of solar energy, one of the most rapidly growing sectors of the fuel and energy complex in two countries in South America, with significant natural potential for its development. Despite the fact that solar energy has not yet become widespread in Brazil and Chile, in the future, these countries constitute one of the main regions for the development of this industry due to high energy demand and high levels of solar radiation over a large part of the territory. As a result of the analysis, factors contributing to the development of solar energy in Chile and Brazil, and factors hindering the development of the industry were identified.

В статье предложен сравнительный анализ современного состояния и перспектив развития солнечной энергетики, одной из самых быстроразвивающихся отраслей топливно-энергетического комплекса, в двух странах Южной Америки, обладающих значительным природным потенциалом для развития данного направления. Несмотря на то, что в Бразилии и Чили солнечная энергетика пока не получила повсеместного распространения, эти страны в перспективе обладают потенциалом развития отрасли в связи с наличием спроса и высоким уровнем солнечной радиации на большой части территории. В результате проведенного исследования были определены факторы, способствующие развитию солнечной энергетики, а также причины, сдерживающие этот процесс.
