PV Site Suitability Study

Degree of slope Solar irradiation Cost to upgrade transmission Land cover

Twenty-five LANDSAT 7 images from December-March of 2010-2013 from the Peruvian border through the Santiago Metropolitan Region were mosaicked together in ArcMap

Solar Irradiation & Wind Speed Data

Hourly Horizontal Global Solar irradiation data were accessed from Chiles Solar Explorer portal for two substations: Crucero (SING) Carrera (SIC) Hourly Wind (ASOS) data, from Iowa State University web-site for: (SING) Arica, Iquique, Calama, Antofagasta Desierto (SIC) Viña del Mar Concepción Futaleufú (SIC)
