Based on the working hypothesis, the main objec0ve of the project is to acquire a scien0fic, technical, environmental and economic founda0on to develop a roadmap for Solar Mining Chile . It is aimed to iden0fy and characterize the steps that are necessary to evolve from the current mining situa0on, which strongly relies on fossil fuels, to a synerge0c integra0on of solar energy into the mining industry.
