Chile’s cumulative PV installations reached 4.6GW at the end of March, according to the latest figures from ACERA, the Chilean renewable energy association. Utility scale PV plants account for most of the country’s installed solar capacity while rooftop PV account for 167 MW of the total. Small solar parks with capacities of up to 9MW – developed under the Pequeños Medios de Generación Distribuida, a program to support distributed generation – account for 1.35GW of the total.
