Las Salinas Photovoltaic Plant
The Las Salinas photovoltaic plant is located 60 km from Calama and has an installed capacity of 205MW.
Located within the Sierra Gorda Este wind farm (112MW), it has 458,044 bifacial panels, state-of-the-art technology for developing solar power plants, which achieves greater generation efficiency by capturing solar radiation from both the top and bottom of each panel.
The Las Salinas solar farm and the Sierra Gorda Este wind farm will operate together, making them the largest industrial-scale hybrid renewable generation center in the country, capable of generating 910 GWh annually, enough energy to power more than 415,000 Chilean homes.
