Argentina solar energy system for home in price

How much solar power does Argentina have in 2023?

From pv magazine Latam According to the latest monthly report from Cammesa, Argentina's state-owned electricity market operator, the country reached a cumulative installed PV capacity of 1,366 MW at the end of December 2023. Cammesa also revealed that the country added around 262 MW of newly installed solar power in 2023.

What percentage of Argentina's electricity is generated by solar?

New figures from Cammesa, the state-owned company that manages Argentina's wholesale electricity market, show that solar accounted for 3.1% of total national generating capacity at the end of December 2023.

Is Argentina a good country for solar energy?

There is a measure of agreement that Argentina’s solar resource is ideal for photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal (ST) development, both for large- and small-scale (distributed) installations. The yearly Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index published by Ernst and Young places Argentina in the 18th position for PV .

Is there a gap between solar and solar energy deployment in Argentina?

Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. There is a large gap between the vast solar resources and the magnitude of solar energy deployment in Argentina. In the case of photovoltaics, the country only reached the 1000 GWh electricity generated yearly landmark in 2020.

The first contribution of photovoltaic electricity to Argentina´s grid system occurred in 2011, with a participation of 0.0014% 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 .

Is there a gap between photovoltaic installations in Argentina?

This gap is, however, not static: different legal frameworks and governmental promotion programs have led to the deployment of large-scale and distributed off-grid photovoltaic installations, but they are at a volume (in terms of installed capacity) that lags years behind other countries with which Argentina shares relevant characteristics.
