The Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) has been the main source of funding for wind generation. Its main financing program (Finem) is considered a success in its attempt to promote wind generation in Brazil. Finem is linked to a local content policy that aims to internalize novel industrial chains. It was expected from solar generation to go down a similar successful path, using the same promotion and financing mechanisms as wind power generation. However, this has not been verified. There are several delayed solar power plants and most of them are unlikely to go into operation on schedule, which relates to the maintenance of a national solar PV industry at an underdeveloped state. Therefore, we analyze the incompatibility between technology, the financing methodology (local content requirements) and objectives. For that we: compare solar and wind technical and economic differences; describe the incentive mechanism; and show the results for both sources, relying on data and analysis currently available. For an insertion of solar PV in the matrix and an internalization of this industrial chain in the country, objectives, methodology and technology must be harmonious. Brazil has to decide between a larger deployment of solar PV with imported panels; or a long-term objective with multiple policies towards a reasonable internalization of the chain. A local content criterion aimed at services rather than items might be a third option.
