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.

Development of an Energy Cluster.
