CHILEAN POTENTIAL TO PSDA

CHILEAN SCENARIO

 High potential of solar radiation, the availability of natural resources, financial resources and political-social stability.

 Existence of a qualified academic resource required to collaborate in the areas of scientific and technological development.

 Existence of a mining industrial environment, with great interest in the thematic proposal given its high energy consumption and concern at the carbon footprint.

 Possibility that Chile could become the Solar Energy Center Latinoamerica reference.
