Chile is a solar country. As of September of this year, photovoltaic generation capacity in Chile accounted for 23.5% of the country's solar power generation capacity. 23,5% of the total. And with a portfolio of projects under construction or planned, this percentage will only grow.. Here are eight facts about solar energy that you probably didn't know:

1. FYNSA is a relevant player in the growth of solar energy in Chile, with a stake in the Rockville Solar Energy Fund(SEE MORE HERE ), focused on the development of this type of projects.
2. Every 90 minutes, enough sunlight reaches the earth's surface to meet our energy needs for a year. enough sunlight to meet our energy needs for a year.
3. The cost of installing solar panels has fallen by 89% in the in the last decade.
4. Solar panels do not need direct sunlight to generate energy. In fact, they are 15% to 25% more effective when it is cloudy.
5. In the northern hemisphere, all solar panels face south, while in the southern hemisphere it is the opposite.
6. Solar panels are the fastest source of electricity generation to install. generation source to install.
7. China is the world leader in solar energywith more than 340GW installed, three times more than in the US.
8. Europe, the U.S. and China plan to install solar farms in space.
