Why in Chile?

Enormous potential high challenges

Up to approx. 2.800 kWh/m globalhorizontal irradiation per year

North of Chile has the potential to supplyall of Chile with clean solar electricity +even export electricity to neighboring

countries Challenges: high UV, high temperature

gradients, dust, salts, water scarcity,

Grid integration: Electricity storage andtransport technologies will be important

R&D on high radiation solar needed opportunity for Chile

Increase local contents, local jobs

A near-100% renewable energy system is possible, at similar cost astodays energy supply.

Big challenges, big opportunities:

Storage (Pump storage, BESS, H2, etc)

Grid Integration / Solar (North) + Hydro (South) / LATAM Grid

Transmission capacity needed Critical issue! Solar + Large Desalination Centers : Solar Energy Water!

Chile can take a leading role in the field of R&D for high radiation solartechnologies.

Chile can develop a strong solar industry (new jobs) to supply power with

high level of security of supply and at competitive prices. The global energy transformation is the challenge of our generation, as first

step of the needed transformation to sustainability..key to face ClimateChange
