Potential of offshore photovoltaic solar technology in the north of Chile

The main objective of this study is to know the generation potential in Chile through marine solar technology, in terms of generated energy, exploitable area and delimiting factors for its installation using georeferencing tools for the application of restrictions, as well as economic tools for sensitivity analysis and the study of the economic feasibility of these projects on the Chilean coast. Concluding that the chosen configuration is economically viable at high levels of installed capacity, primarily subject to the variability of the energy selling price as the most significant factor contributing to the sensitivity of the NPV (Net Present Value). Key words. NPV (Net Present Value), Solar offshore energy, LCOE (Levelized cost of energy).
