Chile’s Atacama desert provides some of the best natural conditions in the world for solar power. Long periods of horizontal solar irradiation create great natural conditions for solar power in Atacama, which ultimately translates into lower cost of generating solar energy. Chile has supplemented the favorable natural conditions for solar power with encouraging market conditions for … Continue reading »
