The webinar will be introduced by Chilean Economic Development Agency (CORFO), Ministry of Economy of Chile and Atamostec
Timing: 8.15 – 8.30 UTC -4 (Chile) — 14.15 – 14.30 CET
Session 1 : PV in the Global Energy Transition
Description : In this panel we will discuss about the integration of solar generation in the energy matrix at a global level.
Objective : to define the challenges for the integration of PV generation in highly demanding industrial processes, in the light of the green energy transition race around the globe.
Timing : 8.30 – 10.00 UTC -4 (Chile) — 14.30 – 16.00 CET
Moderator : Maria José Riquelme – ATAMOSTEC
Keynote : Francisco Boshell – IRENA
Panelist : Yasmine Arsalane – IEA
Panelist : David Feldman – NREL
Panelist : Christian Breyer – LUT
Panelist : Alex Santander – Ministry of Energy Chile
Session 2 : Bifacial Modules and the ATAMO: Why do we need a Desert Module?
Description : In this session we will talk about the state of the PV market from a technological point of view. We will present the results of the ATAMO. Questions include: what is the perspective of the Desert market Niche? What are the technological challenges in those locations?
Objective : Clearly define the landscape of PV technology choices, including current developments such as new cell technologies, and the fast growth of bifacial PV modules and other novel PV module concepts.
Timing : 10.10 – 11.20 UTC -4 (Chile) — 16.10-17.20 CET
Moderator : Ana Maria Ruz – Corfo
Keynote : Elias Urrejola – ATAMOSTEC

Panelist : Radovan Kopecek – ISC
Panelist : Verónica Bermúdez – QEERI
Panelist : Rodrigo Aire Torres – ACCIONA ENERGY
Session 3 : Reliability and bankability of PV plants in Desert Markets
Description : In this session we will introduce the requirements to provide reliability and stability of big power plants.
We will look at how technical risks affect investments and the bankability of PV projects, especially for desert applications.
Objective : understand the parameters we need to watch to guarantee reliability, stability in energy provision, integration and durability of a PV project. Answering questions like: what are the technical risks associated with investments in PV projects? How big is their impact in the bankability of a project? Assessing the question of the importance of having climate-specific modules.
Timing : 11.30 – 13.00 am UTC -4 (Chile) — 17.30 – 19.00 CET

Organizan
Becquerel Institute, created in 2014, provides a hybrid service of high-quality consultancy and non-for-profit research focused on the role of solar PV in the energy revolution. This spans through neighbouring areas such as the buildings and transport sector, storage, green hydrogen and more. With our recognized high-quality internal expertise and a global network of PV experts, we provide research, strategic advisory services and due diligence to private, public and institutional organisations in the field of renewable energy. At the Becquerel Institute, we empower companies and organisations to embrace the energy transition.
ATAMOSTEC is a technology consortium which offers a laboratory for the development of PV systems for high-radiation areas unique in its kind in order to carry out applied research and development, also lowering the energy development cost (LCOE) of PV systems to a highly competitive level. ATAMOSTEC counts with the public funding of CORFO and private contributions from associated companies.
