Why is solar energy important in Argentina?
The north of Argentina experiences high levels of solar radiation and has the capacity to produce electricity and jobs for rural and underserved communities in the country. Unfortunately, there are several factors limiting the total deployment of renewable energy in Argentina.
Is solar adoption a problem in Argentina?
(Credit: Nestor Barbitta) For a country with the abundant solar resources of Argentina, the lack of PV adoption is cause for concern. The north of Argentina experiences high levels of solar radiation and has the capacity to produce electricity and jobs for rural and underserved communities in the country.
When did solar thermal energy become a key energy source in Argentina?
Solar thermal energy in Argentina was already considered a potential key energy source in , when a national R&D program for the development of solar energy and other renewables was launched, leading to numerous research programs (see next section) and the elaboration of norms and certification criteria for ST collectors .
Should Argentina invest in solar energy?
If Argentina were able to stabilize its economy and provide better incentives for solar, investors would be more apt to support renewable energy projects. However, the lack of residential distributed generation projects is hindering mainstream solar adoption.
Why is solar thermal technology less developed in Argentine?
Solar thermal technology is even less developed, in part due to the low natural gas prices resulting from political strategies that aim to soften the impact of an unstable economy on family budgets. This review describes this gap by summarizing the current state of Argentine solar energy.
What is the contribution of photovoltaic electricity to Argentina's grid system?
The first contribution of photovoltaic electricity to Argentina´s grid system occurred in , with a participation of 0.% to the total electricity demand, which is a modest contribution to the 1% incidence of renewable energy (RE) at the time, which included small, i.e., ≤50 MW, hydroelectric plants .
