The sun gives us enough energy that it can meet the energy needs of the entire world. All we have to do is harness that energy and convert it into electrical energy using photovoltaic panels. However, to collect and convert so much energy, we need more solar power plants and adequate infrastructure for solar energy collection and use .
Enel Green Power Chile, a subsidiary of Enel Chile, has begun commercial operation of the country's largest 398MW Guanchoi solar plant, located in the country's Atacama region.
The new plant is Enel's third largest solar plant worldwide and the largest active solar plant in Chile.
The Guanchoi photovoltaic plant has received official authorization from the National Electric Coordinator to enter commercial operation. After completing all performance and safety tests to ensure its correct operation, it became the largest active solar plant in the country.
Enel Green Power Chile is expected to produce more than 1,100 GWh annually, which will power more than one million Chilean homes, avoiding around 900,000 tons of carbon emissions into the atm C Level Executive List osphere after connecting to the Chilean National Electric System.
The new Guanchoi plant includes 893,508 solar panels installed with bifacial monocrystalline photovoltaic technology that captures solar radiation more efficiently, helping to generate more than 14% more electricity than traditional solar panels.
At the time of construction of the new Guanchoi plant, more than 1,200 people were employed, the majority from the Atacama region.
The development of this plant involves the application of innovative systems and modern technologies for this type of projects, such as the inclusion of wireless trackers to facilitate operational maintenance.
The company used a string inverter, which provides greater efficiency in converting direct current to alternating current, resulting in reduced unit maintenance costs.
Enel Chile has many renewable projects in the country, including wind (715 MW), solar (2,043 MW), hydroelectric (92 MW) and geothermal (83 MW), totaling a net installed capacity of 2,933 MW as of March 2023.
Enel Green Power's new solar plant will reduce carbon emissions and Chile's dependence on coal or other fossil fuel energy sources.
