Chile’s Energy Sustainability Agency (AgenciaSE) has announced a call for the aggregate purchase and installation of photovoltaic systems as part of the Casa Solar Adulto Mayor O’Higgins program. The initiative aims to boost solar power adoption in the region by inviting proposals from national, international, regional, and local suppliers.
The tender, outlined in a statement, seeks to facilitate the connection of 700 1kWp photovoltaic projects to the grid in the provinces of Colchagua, Cachapoal, and Cardenal Caro within the O’Higgins region. Under the self-consumption regime, surplus energy generated by these systems will be injected into the local distribution network, in compliance with the Distributed Generation Law.
The program aims to promote renewable energy adoption among senior citizens’ residences while contributing to the overall energy sustainability goals of the region. By harnessing solar power, households will not only benefit from reduced energy costs but also play a part in promoting environmental conservation.
Chile’s Casa Solar Adulto Mayor O’Higgins program, facilitated by the Energy Sustainability Agency, demonstrates the country’s commitment to advancing renewable energy initiatives. Through the installation of photovoltaic systems, the program seeks to empower communities in the O’Higgins region to embrace sustainable energy solutions, paving the way for a greener and more resilient future
