In 2021, El Salvador was the Latin American country that had the largest share of electricity produced from solar sources, at some 17 percent of its power mix. Chile ranked a close second, with solar accounting for roughly 13.2 percent of electricity generation that year. Nevertheless, solar power contributed to less than five percent of the electricity mix of most Latin American and Caribbean countries that year.
