Can solar energy boost energy supply in Colombia?

In this sense, Serrano (2017b) carried out in Colombia an analysis of the use of solar energy for the future of the country as part of the general concern for the increase in the emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere and that it can boost energy supply through renewable sources.

What percentage of Colombia's electricity is solar?

The analyzes were based on the report generated in 2015 by the Mining and Energy Planning Unit (UPME) of Colombia, where it was projected that by 2028 about 13.75% of the 3275 MW that is installed should correspond to energy sources solar.

Is Colombia a good alternative to solar power?

Despite this, Colombia has a uniform solar radiation potential throughout the year, calculated at 4.5 kWh/m 2, making it a potential alternative for generating electricity through photovoltaic systems.

Is solar energy a viable alternative for Sustainable Urban Mobility?

Among other alternatives that have been studied for the use of solar energy, Rossi (2014) developed in Uruguay a multidisciplinary study to build a solar vehicle to promote the use of clean energy and reduce the emission of polluting gases into the atmosphere, which in turn would become an alternative for sustainable urban mobility.

Can solar power be used in construction projects?

Additionally, the provisions of Law 1715 of 2014 were taken into account, which guided the use of the solar source in projects at both urban and rural levels for the construction of homes, industrial and commercial buildings through tax incentives for builders who implement these types of technologies.
