This phenomenon—caused by the accumulation of dust, atmospheric salts, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations—is causing growing concern in the energy sector, especially in arid regions such as northern Chile. These factors, which may seem trivial, have a direct impact on the efficiency of photovoltaic modules, affecting their performance and lifespan […]

The initiative, led by SERC Chile, involved the free distribution of the books “El Sol” and “Con ustedes: el Sol” at four educational and community facilities in the region, with the goal of sparking scientific curiosity from an early age and promoting environmental education rooted in the region’s identity. Four educational facilities and one community center […]

Researchers propose a system based on predictive control and energy storage to minimize the impact of seawater transport in arid regions, in anticipation of the projected surge in saltwater use by 2032. The growing use of seawater in the Chilean mining industry, driven by water scarcity in arid regions and […]
