In a ceremony held within the framework of the 5th Seasonal School of the University of Chile, SERC Chile director Rodrigo Palma donated copies of the book “Con ustedes… el Sol” to the city’s Acting Mayor, Marco Pérez Barría, who will distribute them to several municipal schools.

“Delivering this book is part of SERC Chile's mission to educate about this incredible energy we possess and the multiple ways to harness it. This deeply pleases us, and we would like it to be in every school in the country, just as we are delivering it today in Iquique,” the director commented.

For his part, Acting Mayor Pérez Barría received the books, commenting that “the donation will be put to good use for our children.” “There is much to learn, and considering that as a region we have optimal conditions, it is essential that our children can see the development opportunities this energy offers for our country and our region,” he added.

Addressing the children present at the ceremony, Rodrigo Palma explained how solar energy works and the countless benefits of its use. Through the pages of the book and the inclusion of new technologies, the book allows children to discover that solar energy is the largest source of renewable energy in Chile and a vast source of wealth: Chile possesses the best solar radiation on the planet in the Atacama Desert and could become a global solar power.
