Development of Solar Energy in Chile and the World

Rivera, Marco; Rojas, Diego; Fuentes, Roberto; Wheeler, Patrick

Abstract

Chile is a country with a huge potential for solar energy. This paper presents an analyses of the global situation of solar energy, identifying the geographical regions with the maximum potential source of solar energy. These areas tend to be in desert locations, since this is where the greatest irradiance is concentrated. A prediction of the potential situation in 2030 is considered. The Chilean desert is considered, identifying the photovoltaic electricity potential and mentioning the current and future projects that will significantly increase the photovoltaic generation of the country.
