In order to analyze the photovoltaic potential in Brazil, the present study aims to simulate and compare the solar radiation and PV yield through the Brazilian and Korean Solar Map. five strategy points in Brazilian Territory and one point in Korea were selected, considering local characteristics and meteorological data. After that, a photovoltaic simulation had been proceeded by PV syst Software based on a PV Grid connected system with 1 MW rated power using the solar panel BP solar BP4175 (module type Mono-si PV and module efficiency of 13.9%). As the results, it can be noticed that the annual mean of daily horizontal global solar irradiation is between 4.20~6.70 kWh/㎡/d. The simulation shows that all studied sites present an interesting electricity yield. Brasilia and Teresina, located in Central West and Northeast, represent the highest energy production simulation(1,626and1,544 MWh/year, respectively). In doing so, Brazilian radiation reality can be easily compared to the most favorable countries around the world such as United States and India
