Feasibility Studies for Photovoltaic Projects in Chile
Between 2013 and 2017 a number of research and feasibility studies for photovoltaics-projects have been conducted. The following documents should be analyzed and read within the framework and context of their elaboration date. During the last years, there has been an evolution of prices and the Regulatory Framework in the Chilean solar market. Therefore, these documents are not necessarily valid in the current market conditions.
Study of PV Solar Panels Orientation
This study of the PV solar panels orientation in Chile was published in 2015 and analyzes the orientation of the panels for an economic maximization of the energy generation and its coupling with the demand profile.

Analysis of the Agro-industrial Sector
An analysis of the agro-industrial sector in Chile made by the consultant Ing. Carlos Campos Núñez, researcher at the Centre CIE USM, evaluates the energy requirements and the feasibility of diversifying the energy sources by incorporating renewable energy, in particular solar thermal and photovoltaic technologies under 100 kW.
