The Solar Energy Challenge
A high-penetration scenario for solar energy in Chile brings
a number of challenges, which are summarized in Figure 6.
In fact, the challenges relating to large-scale solar energy
development exist along several dimensions. They concern
not only electricity production goals but also socioenvironmental
development, heat production, green chemistry based
on solar energy, the impacts on local industries and products,
and access to water. They are described below.
