The general objective of this project is to provide support the Government of Chile (GoC) and the Ministry of Energy (MINENERGIA) to develop a solar industry for solar water heating (SWH) and power generation in Chile (Photovoltaic (PV) panels and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP)). The specific objectives are to: (i) promote technology transfer, institutional strengthening and capacity building in solar technologies; (ii) develop pilot projects using solar technologies (SWH and power generation) and (iii) support the design of incentives, financial mechanisms and a public awareness campaign to promote solar projects with SWH and power generation technologies.
